Weirder and Weirder Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI has just launched Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini, two new versions of its foul-mouthed chatbot Grok. The updated models, which are only available to Premium and Premium+ subscribers on X, come with improvements across the board, including to its chat, coding, and reasoning capabilities, xAI said in an announcement. But the biggest addition is that Grok now offers prompt-based image generation — and it already seems that there are few restrictions being enforced on what you can ask it to do, if any. As spotted by The Verge, users on X, which Grok is integrated into, have already shared images generated with the chatbot that depict famous politicians in all sorts of weird and disturbing scenarios. At least two images prompted by different users show Donald Trump caressing the belly of a pregnant Kamala Harris, which shows that this isn’t just a one-off case of the AI going off the rails. Another viral example shows the pair appearing to carry out the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers, sitting in the cockpit of a plane and giving a thumbs up. These are absurd depictions, yes, but the images are lifelike enough to demonstrate the AI’s potential to output misinformation — a fact made all the more worrying when you consider that Grok seemingly had no qualms with scandalously depicting the current two frontrunners in the ongoing presidential race. it's really good at this pic.twitter.com/gpAg54BWsg — shb (@himbodhisattva) August 14, 2024 Enfant Terrible Musk’s…Elon Musk's New AI Already Being Used to Generate Images of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris Doing 9/11
