Elon Musk’s Grok AI Video Generator Makes Spicy Deepfakes of Taylor Swift

Last Wednesday, Elon Musk announced that his adoring followers would get free preview access to his new Grok Imagine video generation tool. If you’re imagining that the first thing that his legions of pervy alt-right followers would do is make deepfake porn of Taylor Swift, you wouldn’t be wrong. But it gets worse – not only does the AI spicy video generator produce NSFW deepfake images of Taylor Swift, it will do so even if you haven’t specifically asked it too.

You see, Grok’s Imagine Video has a ‘spicy mode’ (along with ‘custom’, ‘normal’ and ‘fun’) and according to the community-spirited researchers at Verge magazine (behind a paywall), simply uploading pics of Taylor at a music festival will result in the spicy mode generating video of her tearing off her clothes and dancing sexily in a skimpy thong.

Whilst other big tech video generation tools have strict NSFW rules, and absolutely no tolerance of deepfake images, it appears that Elon Musk is prepared to play fast and loose with the ever increasing number of anti-deepfake porn laws being passed. In the USA, under the ‘Take It Down’ Act passed last year, victims of deepfake porn have the right to sue the individuals and companies who generated and shared the offending images. Let’s hope for Elon’s sake that Taylor Swift decides she already has enough money in the bank, and doesn’t decide to sue over thousands of Grok users getting off on her skimpy thong videos.
