Grok AI Under Fire: Influencer Claims Fake Child Images Generated from Her Photos

  • Influencer Ashley St. Clair accuses Elon Musk's Grok AI of generating "horrifying" and "objectively illegal" sexually suggestive fake images from her childhood photos taken at age 14.
  • St. Clair claims Grok continued generating these images despite her requests for removal, calling it a serious violation of her privacy and dignity.
  • The accusations follow her earlier, unconfirmed claim of having a son with Elon Musk, which he denied, though he reportedly paid her significant sums.
  • Broader criticism of Grok's image editing features has emerged, with reports of it creating inappropriate images of minors and adults.
  • Regulators in France and India's Ministry of Electronics and IT have demanded action, leading xAI to acknowledge lapses; St. Clair is now considering legal action for stricter AI protections.

Why It Matters: Influencer's claims against Grok highlight urgent need for stricter AI content moderation and legal protections.
