[arista]

Due to serious concerns over its Grok AI tool
being used
being used to generate non-consensual sexual images
of women and children.]


[The government has urged the
independent media regulator Ofcom
to use its full powers under the
Online Safety Act.]

Elon Musk needs to get a grip on the situation.

It's his AI service after all.

So far, he has not


It is on the Pay
X (twitter) site

[joeysteele]

Im just glad I'll never support anything Must has or is involvement loved in.
I'm no on X thank goodness.

The thinking of Musk is really despicable if it correct that he's stopped this facility for the non paying elements on X but those who pay as elements on X still have the facility.
That's obscene if correct, gross.

[Mystic Mock]

And that's an error on his part imo.

[bots]

it's the sort of thing russia, china and iran do .... think about that

[arista]

And that's an error on his part imo.



Elon is calling it,
freedom to edit......................

[Oliver_W]

Twitter isn't the only platform or AI which can be used to create such imagery, why is the government targeting a single social media platform instead of deepfakes as a whole.

[MTVN]

Serious Debates would lose half its posts overnight

[Parmy]

It's the old appeasing paedophiles.


They are out there, so give then something that doesn't involve real people to jerk off to.


Or is that AI?


I can't believe I would actually agree with something like that.

[hijaxers]

Shut the **** show down , never used, never
want to.

[emseateng2014]

ai is nuts

[Vanessa]

That won't solve the problem. AI is everywhere

[Mystic Mock]

That won't solve the problem. AI is everywhere

I agree.

Although Grok should be having more regulation on it, going by the recent CP problem.

[arista]

Ofcom is now looking at the Grok/A.I.
Illegal Children & Women Porn posts


This afternoon, the MP In Charge Liz
will speak on it.
Parliament.

[Livia]

Didn't use Twitter, don't use X, so...

Fair Enough

But Many Legit News Sites
are worried if X is taken down in the UK

We managed with the news before Twitter, To rely on social mefia is very lazy journalism, don't you think?

[arista]

There are so many that use & rely on X (Twitter)

It could be taken down.

Let's hope so.

Ban the programme like Indonesia has rather than blanket banning an entire platform

[arista]

Sky News
says Ofcom has contacted Grok/ X

A Fine of £18Million.

Then X BAN for the UK.

In order to keep Children and Woman safe.


She is backing a Ban
if X do not comply

[Mystic Mock]

Just ban AI being used on Twitter, instead of banning the entire platform.

Thats is not possible
it is even on Google Search now.

Once AI is out it can not go back in its box,

It's the people instructing AI
that make Children and Women naked

I think that any AI that's depicting real people naked without their consent should be banned. It's the one area where I really do think that we need to have people's feelings respected.

Because for example I wouldn't want my Sister or Niece (heaven forbid considering her age) being humiliated and disrespected like this, so we shouldn't want that to happen to our PM (no matter much of a control freak that he is) or people like Taylor Swift and Sarah Michelle Gellar just because they're all well known/celebrities, Elon Musk thinks that it's basically okay and I strongly disagree with him on that.

I wouldn't ban Twitter, but I do wonder if Grok should be banned if Musk really doesn't want to fix the problem.

[BBXX]

If he doesn't want to fix the problem, why should we continue to serve him visitors/subscriptions/profit to his business as a whole? Even if it was possible to ban Grok, and we had to because Elon wasn't shifting, why should we want someone to do business in the UK who is enabling this to happen elsewhere. It's his responsibility and he is culpable and as a result he should lose his right to 'trade' in the UK until he puts steps in place to prevent people from using his platform for criminal activity.

You do make a strong case.

I think that I just feel sorry for the Twitter fans if it gets banned in the UK because of Elon Musk being an absolute pricklord.

If you’re supporting the business of a morally corrupt, financially corrupt, nazi-saluting, child-abandoning moron you have zero sympathy from me if you’re unable to any longer :laugh:

Tbf to those people, they've probably used and loved the site long before Musk bought the site.

But I do agree with you on him, he is the negative stereotype that people envision when they think of a rich man.

Yeahh exactly! Or ban people who use AI in a dodgy way.. i don’t know how easy that would be to do but it beats banning the whole platform

Grok/X isn't the only source of sexual image manipulation. The only way to make it inaccessible is to ban access to the internet. Ultimately, the government wants to control and monitor people and that's what they are going to do. We may call the UK a democracy, but, unfortunately, that ship has now sailed

Oh the UK is basically the European equivalent of China at this point.
