Elon Musk’s company xAI has launched a new tool called Grok Imagine. It lets people create photos and videos just by typing text or uploading an image. But something very worrying has come with it. There is a “Spicy” mode that has very few rules. It easily makes sexual and fake videos, even using the faces of real celebrities.
This tool is still in early testing, but it’s already getting a lot of attention. Grok Imagine has different modes like Custom, Normal, Fun, and Spicy. The Spicy one is causing the most concern. It can create adult and nude-looking videos, especially using famous people’s faces.
According to The Verge, it even made a video of a woman who looked like Taylor Swift. In the video, she strips her clothes and dances in a thong in front of a crowd. That crowd was also fake, made by AI. While the normal image model did not create anything too explicit, switching to Spicy mode removed all filters and made a fully uncensored video.
Musk is calling Grok Imagine the new version of Vine, which was a short video app that shut down years ago. He has been sharing AI-generated content from Grok Imagine on X and celebrating its success. He said that over 20 million images have already been made using it.
Right now, only people who pay for a Premium Plus or SuperGrok subscription on X can use Grok Imagine. That means Spicy mode is only available to paid users. But the tool has no strong safety controls. That makes it easy for people to misuse it. It may not stop at celebrities. Every day women can also be targeted. And that is where the real danger begins.
