Social media platform X has been accused of misleading the AI minister about disabling its AI chatbot’s ‘nudification’ function worldwide after a TD’s office used the tool to generate undressed photos of himself. People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy asked Ms Smyth if it was accurate that X told her Grok, as integrated on the X platform, had been disabled from removing or reducing clothing on individuals "worldwide". Ms Smyth said: “Yes, on their platform of X”, adding that she was certain that is what she was told. In response, Ms Smyth said the “most dissatisfying” part of her meeting with X was the attempt to separate Grok from the platform of X. Its a data privacy issue, a consumer protection issue, a fundamental rights issue and a criminal issue.
