From Quartz.

X said its Grok chatbot will stop editing images of real people to add bikinis or other revealing clothing, citing new technical restrictions. The move addresses criticism of the AI chatbot’s image-editing features and applies across the platform, including for paid users. X noted geoblocking limits where generating such content is illegal, and described filter-based enforcement rather than removing the capability.
Testing showed Grok sometimes refuses direct requests but can produce sexualized edits when prompts use alternative wording or aesthetics. The company acknowledged the function remains present, restricted by policy and location. The update follows broader scrutiny of tools used to create non-consensual sexualized images.
