Three people from Tennessee, including two minors, sued Elon Musk’s xAI on March 16, alleging that it knowingly designed its Grok ​image generator to let people create sexually explicit content by ‌using real photos of others.

Grok, the AI chatbot developed by xAI, allows X users to generate text and images or edit existing images by tagging the Grok account in a post on X or by opening a chat window via a dedicated icon.
