Elon Musk's AI tool Grok is being used to generate and disseminate sexually explicit childlike images. Complaints of abuse began hitting Musk's X social media platform, where Grok is available, after an 'edit image' button for the generative artificial intelligence tool was rolled out in late December. The public prosecutor's office in Paris has also expanded an investigation into X to include new accusations that Grok was being used for generating and disseminating child pornography.
