As soon as Grok was available, many immediately used it to Create fake photos of politicians People like Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, as well as Elon Musk himself, in pretty grotesque situations that are obviously wrong, but nevertheless extremely disturbing.

Concerns about artificial intelligence

There has always been talk about the problems that artificial intelligence could cause in all fields and how it could lead to excessive leakage of false and misleading news that would flood the internet. Despite this, Musk himself said that Grok is the most entertaining artificial intelligence tool in the world.

However, there are many companies, leading companies in the industry, that different measures to prevent their tools from being abused to spread political disinformation. However, it seems that Grok will soon introduce restrictions that will no longer allow the creation of images featuring political figures.

We also remember that Musk is currently at the center of controversy for having spread false and misleading statements about the American presidential elections. Several other tools that generate images using artificial intelligence have had several problems, think for example of Gemini, which is currently stopped by Google precisely with regard to the generation of photos. Various accusations have also been made against Meta on TikTok.

In recent tests, Grok appears to have implemented some restrictions, but they were not enough. By using certain commands, the program managed to create an image showing a politician next to a hate speech symbol.
