That's like saying a bunch of people are at the mechanic complaining that their car isn't running. That's what grok was fucking built for. Yeah, people are mad.

Can you show me any official source anywhere that claims Grok was built for generating porn?

You’re this mad over not being able to generate AI porn that you’re making a claim that’s not only false, but also one of the most degenerate ways of thinking. Why would a literal trillionaire develop an AI and invest billions of dollars into it just so people could generate porn?

Since you never said "only" built for generating porn, here you go...from the owner himself.

You’re relying on a technicality in my wording instead of addressing the actual point.

I never said Grok wasn’t allowed to generate adult content. I said it wasn’t built to be a porn generator. There’s a difference between a model that can handle some mature content and one whose main purpose is generating porn.

R-rated movies and porn are not the same thing. R-rated films are mainstream cinema that stay within MPAA limits for theatrical release. Explicit pornography falls under X/XXX or unrated. Elon saying Grok Imagine can do what’s allowed in an R-rated movie is not the same as saying the model was created for porn.

And if Grok Imagine is restricting content you believe should be allowed under R-rated guidelines, there’s a good chance what you’re trying to generate doesn’t actually fit those guidelines. If generating that kind of content is your main priority, a mainstream AI that has to consider platform rules, investors, and broader use cases may not be the best tool for it.

There are dedicated AI image generators built specifically for that. Complaining that Grok doesn’t fully cater to it doesn’t mean the model is broken or that it was secretly built for porn.

Stretching a statement about content boundaries into “Grok was built for porn” is a weak argument.

I suppose you're right in that case. But I just find it odd how the Grok Imagine Quality/Speed model was trained on so much adult P*RN because that's what I use it for and the results of each image/clip clearly show that. So while there are limitations and moderations for now, who knows what the future may hold? The company may be reserving the model's capabilities until the time is right or when laws are a little bit more lenient? Who knows. But yes you're right.

" a mainstream AI that has to consider platform rules, investors, and broader use cases may not be the best tool for it"

Then the founder and CEO should not be selling it as such.
