I think most of these AI's have this problem though. Not sure why xAI is getting picked on in particular.
First, Twitter has grok integrated directly. Rather than somebody separately creating one of these abuse images and then posting it, they simply comment on somebody's tweet and Twitter does the rest.
Second, Musk himself advocated for looser restrictions on this sort of abusive image generation. Rather than starting from a position of trying to minimize this abuse Musk started from a position of opposing efforts to minimize this abuse.
Third, Musk has joked about the pain and suffering experienced by the people getting harassed on Twitter with this content. I have vastly more patience for somebody who seems to actively care about addressing the problem than somebody who seems to enjoy it when women are abused en masse on his platform.

xAI is getting picked because their company is encouraging and enabling sexual abuse and child porn generation on a massive scale. When called out on it they turned it into a commercial feature, and whined how they are being prosecuted for free speech. Now they are trying to politicize it [1]. Garbage behavior.

They integrated into twitter where it was used predictably… and then blamed the users.
All of them are used. And most of the time it’s the users fault. Yes it should prevent it but all of them have this issue. The other AIs are used far more often
I don't know what you mean by "all of them are used" in response to my comment. It's not clear if you understood my comment or not.
They are all used. If by predictably you mean that people would do what they’ve done, they’ve done it on every platform so what difference does it make if it’s integrated with Twitter?
"We have the problem" and "it's not a problem" aren't the same thing.

> Publicly, Musk has long advocated against “woke” AI models and against what he calls censorship. Internally at xAI, Musk has pushed back against guardrails for Grok, one source with knowledge of the situation at xAI told CNN. Meanwhile, his xAI’s safety team, already small compared to its competitors, lost several staffers in the weeks leading up to the explosion of “digital undressing.”
