Elon Musk's xAI Grok Launches 'Spicy Mode' for iOS
xAI's Grok Imagine now has a 'Spicy Mode' for users who pay extra on their iPhones.
It lets them make short videos with some nudity, but it's still got rules to stop things that are too explicit.
This is part of Elon Musk's plan to make AI that is less censored.
It's easy to use, but the videos aren't perfect, sometimes looking a bit strange.
This new feature brings up questions about what's allowed and how to keep things safe online.
Grok Imagine, xAI's text-to-image and video generator, introduced a 'Spicy Mode' for premium iOS users.
This mode allows for generation of semi-explicit and NSFW visuals with moderation.
The feature aligns with Grok's strategy of 'uncensored' and experimental AI content.
Grok Imagine can generate 15-second animated clips with audio, but still restricts explicit content.
Concerns about content moderation are renewed, given Grok's past issues with offensive material.
