Elon Musk's recently launched Grok Imagine is reportedly a generative video tool, and reportedly created videos generated by the sexually explicit AI of celebrities such as pop star Taylor Swift. Available on iOS, the tool allows users to convert AI-generated images into video clips containing several presets, including labeled spicy that appears to allow users to create inappropriate content without meaningful protection guards.
For those who have limited NSFW content and celebrity deepfakes with unfamiliar and popular video creation tools like Openai Sora and Google Veo. However, reports show that Grok Imagine appears to bypass these controls.
According to Verge, the tool created a public video similar to Swift in seconds, with little user input and no age verification during installation. A birth year prompt appears before using the “spicy” mode, but is easily bypassed, causing concerns about online safety standards, especially in areas with strict age measurement regulations.

Despite Xai's policy on pornographic portrayals of individuals, Grok Imagine reportedly allows users to create realistic portraits of celebrities and animate them in sexually suggestive ways. The report says the platform has created photorealistic images of minors, but is taking caution when animating people using the “spicy” preset.
This controversy is particularly sensitive. Because we have already seen great concerns about AI-generated deepfakes that Swift is involved in.
The controversy broke out shortly after CEO Elon Musk announced that Grok Imagine had created more than 34 million images since its launch last week. Such an output can cause chatbots to face scrutiny immediately, with potential legal consequences in the name of AI ethics and content safety.
