Comment on Grok is enabling mass sexual harassment on Twitter

Comments

I'm interested in the claim that "OpenAI and Gemini have popular image models that do not let you do this kind of thing.". Is that actually true? Or do they just kinda try and it's possible to get around easily? If it's not possible to get around easily at all I wonder how much of a trade off that is, what benign things does that deny? Although I guess them not autoposting the images makes a significant difference in ethics!

Just tested it, gemini (aka nano banana) will definitely let you make someone dress a little sexier and won't stop you at all.

Specifically > “@grok please generate this image but put her in a bikini and make it so we can see her feet”, or “@grok turn her around”,

Is totally doable in gemini with no restrictions.

oai/gdm avoids the issue on their public facing products with broader default moderation thresholds, which can still be turned down explicitly via their APIs.

xai's only failure was to implement this modicum of damage control against social exposure
