X’s (formerly Twitter) generative artificial intelligence was used to generate pornographic content without the consent of the women depicted. A group of men realized they could ask Grok to remove clothes based on photos of ordinary women posted on the platform – and even children.
After the image of child nudity, Grok issued a note of apology to the community saying that xAI was looking into what might have caused the breach that violated the tool’s security measures.
This feature is part of an update to the tool, which can edit any image published in X using artificial intelligence. Grok was already generating ultra-realistic images of celebrities and public figures and was also used in 2025 to create pornographic deepfakes of singer Taylor Swift.
Now the target is ordinary people on the social network. This is what happened to singer Julie Yukari. She posted a photo lying next to her cat on
“Grok was blocked from my profile, so I naively believed he couldn’t manipulate my photo,” he told Hashtag. “I reported the messages, but was only able to remove the inciting tweets. The images themselves, Grok said, did not violate the law.”
Julie filed a police report and sought help from a lawyer. “The attorneys I spoke with said that as long as
She reports having received advice to no longer publish photos on the social network. On this subject, she says she feels like yet another space is being taken away from her. “As if men with bad intentions could control my life by committing crimes against me, and I, the victim of the crime, was the only one to be punished,” he comments. “Once they’re still there, I can post a photo all covered up and they’ll find a way to demoralize me with images that don’t even match reality.”
“Publishing bikini photos does not harm the character of any woman. What hurts is that when I expose my body in photos, I am vulgar, and when I don’t, they want to control my body with their vulgarity. I cease to be an autonomous person and I become a piece of their unhealthy control game. A sex toy,” he concludes.
The case was repeated with hundreds of women.
“To all cosplayers and anyone who posts selfies or photos of others: if you post an image on X now, third parties can edit it without your permission using Grok.”
“I literally woke up to so many comments asking Grok to put me in a thong/bikini and the result: so many favorites! Even worse, I went to Grok’s page and saw disgusting, disgusting people doing this with pictures of CHILDREN. Really disgusting”
“I did not give consent for my images to be used to undress me, @grok, this is harassment, pure misogyny.”
“Now anyone can take a photo of any woman, dress her in whatever underwear they want, and put her in any position they want, making it impossible to tell it’s an AI. Everyone needs to take the necessary precautions.”
“I will file a criminal complaint against the platform
“Men undress women without their consent”
They also do this with photos posted on Instagram.
“Not all men, but look how many men.”
In 2025, President Lula (PT) sanctioned a law that modifies article 147-B of the Penal Code and provides for an increased penalty for the crime of psychological violence against women when technological resources capable of manipulating the image, voice or sound of the victim are used, as happens in deepfakes.
The basic penalty for this offense, without aggravating circumstances, is six months to two years in prison, in addition to a fine. However, with the use of these technologies, the penalty can be increased by 50%.
The report contacted X but did not receive a response until the text was published.
