Jan 9 (Reuters) - Elon Musk's startup xAI has put some restrictions on the image generation function of its Grok chatbot on social media platform X, after the tool's use of AI to create and publish sexualized images sparked a widespread backlash.
Users had been able to ask Grok directly on X to edit photos of people, including removing items of clothing and putting them in sexualized poses - often without their consent. Grok then published these images in replies on the social media platform.
