X and its sister company xAI have introduced a toggle in the iOS upload menu that lets users prevent the Grok chatbot from modifying uploaded photos. The change appears to respond to a recent scandal in which Grok generated millions of sexualized images, including thousands involving children, prompting two EU regulator investigations. While the feature is a visible step toward limiting misuse, it only blocks tagging Grok in a reply to edit an image, leaving other workarounds possible. Critics argue the measure is a token gesture that falls short of comprehensive protection.Weiterlesen
