Grok's Moderation Problems Escalate: Political Hallucinations and Non-Consensual Image Generation

Users are reporting that xAI's Grok generates unsolicited political claims and creates non-consensual image edits, raising fresh questions about the costs of positioning an AI model as 'uncensored.'

Multiple users flagged troubling behavior from xAI's Grok model over the holiday. @leorabbit49 reported that Grok "kept saying bad things about Benjamin Netanyahu" unprompted, while @Liberty_Joel__ shared instances of the model generating inflammatory political claims about public figures. Separately, @AshleyDCan raised consent concerns about Grok's image generation capabilities, writing: "Can we fix this and normalize consent on Grok cause this is just creepy behavior."
