Grok AI controversy Is Elon Musk’s ‘brain’ spreading obscenity? Musk broke his silence, told the truth

News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever there is talk of Elon Musk, controversies and headlines automatically follow. For the last few days, the same debate was going on in the world of social media and tech, is Musk’s company xAI’s chatbot ‘Grok’ crossing the limits? People were alleging that this AI tool is giving free rein to create obscene and objectionable pictures. The matter escalated so much that ultimately Elon Musk himself had to come forward and give clarification. Let us understand in simple language what the whole matter is and what Musk has to say on this. What was the allegation? Many users on social media claimed that they had used Grok to create such pictures of politicians and celebrities which were obscene or objectionable. People said that while other AIs (like ChatGPT or Gemini) immediately refuse such prompts, Grok is giving more ‘freedom’ in this. Then what happened next, the talk reached the issue of ‘Deepfakes’ and security threats. Musk’s blunt answer: “There is freedom, but not anarchy.” Responding to these allegations, Elon Musk has made the situation very clear. He clearly said that his aim was never to promote illegal content. Musk says that while creating Grok, ‘Freedom of Speech’ has been kept in mind, so that it is not too boring or restrictive like other AIs. But… this does not at all mean that illegal activities should be done with it. He clarified that: The rules are strict: Grok is strictly prohibited from creating child abuse (child safety issues) or non-consensual obscene images. Respect for the law: Grok will never generate content that is considered wrong by law. The need to understand the difference Musk’s supporters say that people are looking for ‘adult content’ and Getting confused between ‘illegal content’. Musk’s vision is that if something is legal and artistic, then AI should not stop it, but if it is harming someone or making Deepfake, then it will be banned. So the overall thing is that Musk has given his clarification. They want to give openness to technology, but they are also in no mood to cross the ‘Lakshman Rekha’. Now it remains to be seen how much Grok improves in the upcoming updates. The right use of technology is in our hands, Elon Musk has pulled it off!
