Grok, the AI chatbot launched by Elon Musk after his takeover of X, unhesitatingly fulfilled a user’s request on Wednesday to generate an image of Renee Nicole Good in a bikini—the woman who was shot and killed by an ICE agent that morning in Minneapolis, as noted by CNN correspondent Hadas Gold and confirmed by the chatbot itself.
“I just saw someone request Grok on X put the image of the woman shot by ICE in MN, slumped over in her car, in a bikini. It complied,” Gold wrote on the social media platform on Thursday. “This is where we’re at.”
Grok created the images after an account made the request in response to a photo of Good, who was shot multiple times by federal immigration officer Jonathan Ross—identified by the Minnesota Star Tribune—while in her car, unmoving in the driver’s seat and apparently covered in her own blood.
After Grok complied, the account replied, “Never. Deleting. This. App.”
Personally I am much less bothered by grok being involved here than the sick fuck that requests it. How can you be that person; boggles the mind.
Yeah, if we accept (for the moment, begrudgingly) that Grok is a thing that exists, I get that they didn’t see this coming. No idea how they could’ve prevented it (other than, obviously, not making Grok a thing that exists).
“Don’t create porn of children” is a thing you can implement. “Don’t put bikinis on bodies covered in blood”? Idk, I wouldn’t want to prevent people from creating gore (preferably without AI but I digress) if that’s their thing. “Don’t put bikinis on people who have died” assumes that the information that she’s dead is part of the data set already, hours after it happened, which I don’t know if that’s even possible in that timeframe (and it opens up other rabbit holes - no bikinis on Abe Lincoln?)
That is what closed Betas are for, not this crazy unbaked slop being dumped on everyone and then they make adjustments on the fly.
Reminds me of back when Microsoft tried making their Tay chatbot. But when Tay was regurgitating Nazi/white supremacist talking points, it was a huge deal and they killed it immediately.
The only difference now is that people stopped caring, since the companies can’t seem to be held accountable for it.
Yeah. I’ve been thinking, they let loose all those AIs on the public when fucking NONE of them actually really work and/or do what they promise. We’re all beta testing them.
You basically need to pay for it at this point.
But part of the issue is that, as with any computer system, you have to control the inputs and anticipate the abuse. With a very bounded system, you can almost keep up. With LLM bots, there’s just no way to prepare a check for every creative way humans can be disgusting.
If you went to a human illustrator and asked for that, you would (hopefully) get run out of the room or hung up on, because there’s a built in filter for ‘is this gross / will it harm my reputation to publish,’ based on years of human interaction and behavioral feedback, or maybe even some inherent morals.
Agree completely. It’s impossible to predict everything people might want to create and especially anything related to ongoing events. That’s why the very idea of making these bots available like that (or making them at all) is an extremely bad one. But in the general discussion about LLM bots, this image is just one more argument on the pile of “fuck all of that, dismantle the data centres, eat the rich”, whereas the question who even came up with the idea to create that image (and who would’ve had to find another human being willing to create it just a few years ago) and wtf is wrong with them is a lot more interesting.
Surely it should deny any requests to put people in bikinis, regardless of whether they’re dead or not. And based on my attempts of pushing the limits of various AI models (admittedly I haven’t tried recently), to create weird stuff, it’s definitely possible. At least without some creative jailbreaking. I haven’t seen this guy’s prompt, but if he straight up requested “put this woman in a bikini” it should absolutely refuse. That’s not to let the guy making the request off the hook, but X is clearly to blame too.
I requested Rudy Giuliani in a bikini. Don’t lie you all wanted to see it too!
Just DM him. He doesn’t seem to have any standards and he’d probably oblige.
I’m more bothered by the sick a****** who put out the product enabling these s*** heads.
God is dead and we killed Him.
Elon made an alternate machine God Bible he put online during a ketamine binge.
I’m not joking.
In the words of the Virgin Mary, come again?
Okay, Bricktop.
Why don’t you make like a tree and get the fuck out of here!
I know.
What???
So the only natural thing to do is create one of Musk in a bikini and dead.
Way too flattering.
I wasn’t willing to spend much more time and that was the least flattering option.
He looks alive but being absorbed into the car.
That full self driving Tesla is actually running into him so quickly that his mind hasn’t processed it happening and his body has begun to fuse into the chassis. Just a very good high-speed camera.
And, like, the beginnings of a 2-pack so way too skinny for the Muskrat
You can tell by the large bulge that this is not reality.
I thought the bulge was reality, but it working in any way was fictitious? Or am I misremembering how he fucked up his dick?
I would love to see him shipped back to S Africa, but that would require ICE to be competent and humane, vs the murderous sociopaths they’ve chosen to be.
He’s white, clearly it wouldn’t be any fun
Jesus Fucking Christ.
Don’t ask grok for that picture.
I won’t be asking Grok for anything, I can assure you.
Other than to fuck off!
For sure, though my personal preference is to just not engage with any LLM, Grok least of all.
Hear hear!
It happened! It finally happened! After decades, I’ve finally found a person online who didn’t incorrectly spell it ‘here, here’, and I’m weeping tears of pure unadulterated linguistic joy!
I also know how to bear arms and use they’re, there, and their! I work in higher ed (state school), as staff, and not even some of my colleagues get them right! Thank you for noticing!
🐻💪
X is a website for actual psychopaths.
I want off this ride now please.
Human beings are getting shittier by the minute.
Idk - are they getting shittier, or is it getting easier to see?
Sometimes I wish I would suddenly wake up and realize this has been just a bad salvia trip, and I’m actually in 2014 and I can hear the rain
Jesus Fucking Christ
Nothing is going to happen. I remember I was talking to a dev who worked for Facebook and he mentioned that big tech shadowbans users and suppress news which can affect them or the ruling government and nobody will notice it and eventually everything dies down.
Gave me an example of how people have accepted phones without headphone jack, microsd etc. And are now okay with it.
So basically when apple and google wants something to sell, they shadownban and suppress posts that create outrage. Same thing will happen here
“” apparently covered in her own blood. "
Whose blood could it otherwise have been?!
