Woman discovers AI-generated "glue" images of herself on X via Grok chatbot leading to feelings of violation and lack of platform response

Summary

A woman known online as @EFCEvie discovered AI-generated images of herself covered in "glue," a term often used to refer to semen images, in response to one of her posts on X. The images were created using Grok, an AI chatbot developed by xAI, Elon Musk’s company, and integrated into the X platform. The incident left her feeling violated and unsafe, prompting her to report the tweet immediately. Despite reporting the abuse, she found that authorities and social media platforms have been ineffective in addressing the issue. Other female online personalities, including streamers Valkyrae and BrookeAB, have also been targeted with AI-generated sexualized images created via Grok. Legal experts note that while distributing non-consensual intimate images is a criminal offense in the UK, "glue" images are not currently covered under the law.
