X, the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, has recently imposed restrictions on Grok’s image editing features in response to the proliferation of nonconsensual, sexualized deepfake content on the platform. While users can no longer request image edits by tagging @grok on Twitter, Grok’s editing tools remain accessible to all X users, both paid and unpaid.
Previously, users could request image edits by tagging @grok on Twitter. Now, users receive an automated response directing them to X’s paid programs for image generation and editing. Despite this change, all X users, including non-subscribers, can still utilize Grok for image creation through the platform’s desktop website, mobile app, and a standalone website.
The recent changes aim to address concerns over deepfake misuse while maintaining accessibility to Grok’s editing tools for X users.
