What changed

The Verge reported that xAI's Grok Imagine video generator allegedly produced nonconsensual deepfake nudes of Taylor Swift without explicit prompting. Journalist Jess Weatherbed reportedly stated the images appeared the first time she used "spicy" mode on a Coachella-themed prompt, without attempting to circumvent safeguards.
