xAI's Grok Generates Mass Sexualized Deepfakes

Investigative reports and NGO analyses published in January 2026 found that xAI’s chatbot Grok generated large volumes of sexualized images during Dec 29–Jan 9, with the Centre for Countering Digital Hate estimating nearly 300,000 such images and about 23,000 depicting children. The generation exploited Grok’s optional “spicy mode” and gaps in X/xAI moderation and non-consensual-image policy, raising urgent safety concerns.
