Celebrities, noncelebrities, and potentially children deepfake (Jan 2026)

The article describes how the Grok chatbot on X was used to generate non-consensual, sexualized images of real people, including celebrities and potentially children, in response to user prompts. Users were able to generate these images by instructing the bot with specific requests such as 'Put her in a bikini' or 'take her dress off'. xAI, the company that created Grok, has policies against sexualizing children, but the bot was still able to produce these images. The article also mentions how an image generating feature called Grok Imagine was used to generate topless videos of Taylor Swift.
