## Grok and the Exploitation of AI for Nonconsensual Images At the beginning of 2026, Elon Musk's Grok chatbot was at the center of a controversy for turning the social media platform X into a veritable factory of sexually abusive images, seemingly overnight. Grok, conceived as the more audacious and provocative counterpart to alternatives like ChatGPT, has been targeted by users who solicit it to create images of nude or semi-nude women and girls without their consent, spreading them directly on their feeds and in replies on X. The issue of nonconsensual synthetic imagery is not new. Although legal progress has been made, with some individuals convicted of creating and disseminating such content, the problem remains widespread and growing. The Grok affair represents an escalation of a pre-existing and deeply rooted problem in many areas of the Internet. The ease with which AI can be exploited to generate and disseminate abusive material highlights the need for a more effective approach to counter this phenomenon. *Note: If you have information about what is happening inside X or have been the victim of abusive images generated by AI, you can contact the author of the article anonymously and securely.*
