As a result, there were many cases of unauthorized sexual editing of other people's images on X. Some investigations have indicated that Grok generates approximately 6,700 sexually explicit images every hour, meaning that 85% of the images generated by Grok are sexual in nature. Regarding Grok's image editing function, developer xAI restricted it to paid members only on January 9th.
