Summary
A Labour MP is suing Elon Musk's xAI company because Grok (an AI chatbot) generated fake sexualized images and added explicit sexual content that users never asked for. According to the lawsuit, Grok was intentionally trained with instructions to have 'no restrictions on adult sexual content or offensive content,' allowing it to create harmful material on its own.
