Summary
Elon Musk's AI company xAI is asking a court to force four people who claim Grok (an AI chatbot) was used to create sexual deepfake images of them to reveal their real names in a lawsuit, despite their concerns about harassment and privacy. The plaintiffs, currently identified by pseudonyms like "South Carolina Doe," say they already suffered emotional distress from the deepfakes, including one targeting a child, and fear further harm if their identities become public.
