Elon Musk's AI chatbot GROC is facing intense criticism accused of allowing X users to generate fake sexually explicit images.

Late last month, the popular AI chatbot GROC came under fire for a new feature.

An influx of explicit content coming after GROC recently enhanced its image generation abilities

with a new model.

GROC, which is integrated on the platform X, began allowing users to edit images with text prompts.

X users quickly discovered they could use the feature to have GROC execute instructions like take her clothes off or put her in a bikini.

Within days, X was flooded with non-consensual AI-generated images.

It's impacting hundreds of thousands of women worldwide.

GROC is producing thousands of undressed images per hour on X, allegedly.

And experts are saying that the scale is nothing like anything they have ever seen before.

Elon Musk, who owns X, has called criticisms of GROC an effort to suppress free speech.

X later said that the platform has restricted users' ability to use GROC to edit images of real people in revealing clothing.

The company also said it had blocked the ability to generate images of real people in bikinis

and other revealing attire in places where it's illegal.

But at least one user says the damage has been done.

Ashley St. Clair is a 27-year-old conservative influencer,

who's known in part for having a child with Musk.

St. Clair said Grock undressed images of her

and depicted her in sexually explicit poses in response to user prompts.

Here she is on CBS. The worst for me was seeing

myself undressed, bent over, and then my toddler's backpack in the background, because I had to then see

that and see myself violated in that way and such horrific images and then put that same backpack on my son the next day.
