Federal Judge denies--now xAI shithole wants to nudify images. Unbelievable.
Grok, one of xAI’s products, has faced severe scrutiny for its “Imagine” feature, which uses AI to generate and edit images and videos of users. After the release of a December model, Grok began producing sexualized deepfakes of people with less clothing at the request of users on a massive scale, prompting worldwide outcry and investigations in several jurisdictions. In January, Apple threatened to remove Grok from its app store unless it made changes.

As recently as April, Grok was continuing to generate sexualized images of people without their consent, as users tried to break through restrictions that xAI put in place in January.
Minnesota’s law defines a “nudified” image or video as something that has been “altered or generated to depict an intimate part not depicted in an original unaltered image or video of an identifiable individual.”
The law applies only when “the altered or generated image or video is so realistic that a reasonable person would believe that the intimate part belongs to the identifiable individual.”
In response to the lawsuit, Walz posted on X Tuesday, “See you in court, creep.”
Violating Minnesota’s law could result in a civil penalty of up to $500,000 “for each unlawful access, download or use,” in addition to civil penalties for mental anguish, punitive damages, attorney’s fees or “other relief the court deems just and equitable.” The law says the state’s attorney general may enforce it and that victims may sue on their own. The law does not include criminal penalties.
