First of all, the Guardian is known to be heavily biased again Musk. They always try hard to make everything about him sound as negative as possible. Second, last time I tried, Grok even refused to create pictures of naked adults. I just tried again and this is still the case:

The claim that they released a tool with "seemingly no guardrailes" is therefore clearly false. I think what instead has happened here is that some people found a hack to circumvent some of those guardrails via something like a jailbreak.

For more evidence:

Also, X seem to disagree with you and admit that CSAM was being generated:

Also the reason you can’t make it generate those images is because they implemented safeguards since that article was written:

https://www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/illegal-and-harmful-c...

This is because of government pressure (see Ofcom link).

I’d say you’re making yourself look foolish but you seem happy to defend nonces so I’ll not waste my time.

    That post doesn't contain such an admission, it instead talks about forbidden prompting.

    That article links to this article: https://x.com/Safety/status/2011573102485127562 - which contradicts your claim that there were no guardrails before. And as I said, I already tried it a while ago, and Grok also refused to create images of naked adults then.

      In response to what? If CSAM is not being generated, why aren't X just saying that? Instead they're saying "please don't do it."

      > which contradicts your claim that there were no guardrails before.

      From the linked post:

      > However content is created or whether users are free or paid subscribers, our Safety team are working around the clock to add additional safeguards

      Which was posted a full week after the initial story broke and after Ofcom started investigative action. So no, it does not contradict my point which was:

      > Also the reason you can’t make it generate those images is because they implemented safeguards since that article was written:

      As you quoted.

      I really can't decide if you're stupid, think I and other readers are stupid, or so dedicated to defending paedophilia that you'll just tell flat lies to everyone reading your comment.
