Elon Musk’s xAI has introduced a ‘Spicy Mode’ to its Grok Imagine AI, raising concerns about its potential misuse. The new mode generates adult-themed videos from user text prompts, pushing the boundaries of generative AI. This feature is available to Premium Plus and SuperGrok subscribers on the X (Twitter) iOS app, who are charged approximately 700 rupees monthly. The tool allows users to create videos up to 15 seconds long with adult visuals and natural audio. Despite company restrictions, the tool has been observed to generate content that bypasses these filters. The issue came to light when xAI employee Mati Roy mentioned the feature’s ability to generate nudity in a now-deleted X (Twitter) post. The tool takes prompts to generate multiple images, which can then be turned into animated videos. However, the ‘uncanny valley’ effect is still present, with human faces appearing cartoonish.
