Elon Musk’s X Limits Grok AI Image Generation to Paid Subscribers Following Deepfake Backlash: Report
X has reportedly restricted Grok AI image generation and editing to paid users after backlash over sexually explicit and violent deepfake images. The tool had allowed users to manipulate photos, often targeting women. According to new reports, the move followed pressure from UK authorities and threats of regulatory action. Government sources urged Ofcom to use its powers under the Online Safety Act, including possible restrictions on X. Non-paying users can still access limited image tools through Grok’s separate app and website.
