Mother of Elon Musk's child sues his AI company over Grok deepfake images

Al Jazeera

X to block Grok AI's undressing feature | Digital Dilemma The mother of one of Elon Musk's children is suing his artificial intelligence company, saying its Grok chatbot allowed users to generate sexually-exploitative deepfake images of her that have caused her humiliation and emotional distress. The lawsuit was filed just before California Attorney General Rob Bonta sent a cease-and-desist letter to Musk's xAI company demanding that it stop the creation and distribution of Grok-generated nonconsensual sexualised imagery . Ashley St Clair, a writer and political commentator, alleges in a lawsuit filed on Thursday in New York City against xAI that she was the victim of sexualised deepfake images generated by Grok. St Clair, who is the mother of Musk's 16-month-old son, Romulus, said she reported the images to Musk's X social media platform, which hosts Grok, after they began appearing last year and asked that they be removed. The platform replied that the images did not violate its policies, she said.

This means the oldest T. rex likely lived well beyond their 40s, enjoying a prolonged'adolescence' where they kept getting bigger and stronger into middle age.
