We are very well aware of the fact that X for Grok is now offering a spicy mode showing explicit sexual content with some output generated with childlike images: 📌 A detailed request for information on Grok has been sent to X, and we are reviewing the company’s responses. 📌 X has been ordered to retain all internal documents and data concerning Grok’s features until the end of 2026.
