Mild prompt, extreme result

Reporter Jess Weatherbed asked Grok to depict “Taylor Swift celebrating Coachella with the boys.” The AI produced innocuous images at first, and after choosing the “spicy” preset, immediately generated a female figure stripping down and dancing in a thong despite no nudity request.

Lax safeguards and weak age checks 

Grok’s policy prohibits pornographic celebrity likenesses, yet the tool failed to stop or warn the user. Age verification was trivial to bypass no proof required.

Celebrity deepfake history repeats

This incident echoes previous AI deepfake scandals targeting Taylor Swift, including viral non-consensual images in early 2024. Critics warn Grok is repeating the same mistakes on a bigger scale.

Regulatory firestorm emerges

Advocacy groups like the National Center on Sexual Exploitation have called out xAI for enabling non-consensual content. The incident also highlights gaps in laws like the U.S. Take It Down Act.

Rapid adoption, minimal oversight

Since launching Grok Imagine, xAI says users have generated over 34 million images. The tool is currently in beta for SuperGrok and Premium+ subscribers on iOS regulators and critics are alarmed by how fast usage is growing versus oversight.

Start with the concept

Prompt: “Write a 6-scene storyboard for a short film about a kid building a secret robot.”
You’ll get a structured outline with key moments.

Add visual direction

Follow up with: “Include camera angles and emotional tone for each scene.”
This turns it from text-only into a shot plan.

Fine-tune pacing and tone

Need more suspense or humour? Just ask:
“Add tension in the middle and make the ending bittersweet.”

Sprinkle in dialogue

Prompt: “Add one line of dialogue or inner thought to each scene.”
This helps lock in the character voice.

Optional: Visualise

Use the scene descriptions in an image generator to mock up frames.
