How to claim Verizon's $20 outage credit California AG sends cease and desist to xAI over Grok's explicit deepfakes Rob Bonta's office is also investigating xAI over nonconsensual nude images and sexualized images of children. If you'll recall, xAI and Grok have been under fire for taking images of real individuals and putting them in revealing clothing like bikinis upon random users' requests. Bonta's office demands that xAI immediately cease and desist from creating "digitized sexually explicit material" when the depicted individual didn't consent to it or if the individual is a minor. It also demanded that xAI stop "facilitating or aiding and abetting the creation or publication of digitized sexually explicit material" of nonconsenting individuals and persons under 18 years of age. X changed its policies after the issue broke out and prevented the Grok account from being able to edit images of real people into revealing clothing.
