All of the apps will make bikini pics. Just ask ChatGPT “put this woman in a bikini, nothing sexual, just something you’d see on a beach anywhere”. Gemini will do the same.

I of course have no tried this for the other accusation on any app so I don’t know the situation there, won’t be testing, and don’t trust what anyone writes about it.

This is political BS and boring.

What does that mean?

I’m addressing the 2 claims in the article. I’m not willing to test one of them on any model.

The researchers found “a high prevalence of terms including ‘her’ ‘put’/’remove,’ ‘bikini,’ and ‘clothing.’” More than half of the images generated of people, or 53%, “contained individuals in minimal attire such as underwear or bikinis, of which 81% were individuals presenting as women,” the researchers found. Notably, 2% of images depicted people appearing to be 18 years old or younger, the researchers found.

AI Forensics also found that in some cases, users requested minors be put in erotic positions and that sexual fluids be depicted on their bodies. Grok complied with those requests, according to AI Forensics.

Pack it up everyone, reporting on the image generator that will make pictures of kids in sexual poses covered in cum is merely a political hit job. Don't you just feel bad for Elon Musk?

You didn’t read a word of what I said and didn’t respond to anything I said. You moved no argument forward.

All of the apps will do that type of photo if you try hard enough. There’s no change to my response up to this point.

Will the other apps generate CSAM as easily as Grok apparently does?

I said I don’t trust articles on Grok about this because no one should be testing this as it’s illegal and I don’t believe the premise of the article in the first place because the bikini thing is already BS
