Grok in “hot” mode! Create adult videos with Elon Musk’s AI

Redazione RHC : 7 August 2025 12:24

Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, recently introduced a provocative feature to its Grok Imagine tool: “Spicy Mode.” This addition allows users to generate NSFW images and videos, marking a clear departure from the more restrictive content policies of other AI platforms.

Grok Imagine is an AI-powered tool designed to convert text prompts into images and short videos. The introduction of “Spicy Mode” enables the creation of adult content, including partial nudity. While there is some moderation (some explicit prompts result in blurred or blocked images), users have reported the possibility of generating semi-nude images.

The launch of “Spicy Mode” has sparked a debate about the ethical and legal implications of AI-generated adult content. Key concerns include:

  • Non-consensual deepfakes: The potential for creating explicit content featuring real individuals without their consent is alarming. Such abuse can cause serious personal and professional harm.
  • Regulatory Challenges: Current legislation, such as the Take It Down Act, requires the rapid removal of explicit AI-generated content without consent. Grok Imagine’s capabilities could challenge the effectiveness and enforcement of these laws.
  • Platform Responsibility: xAI’s decision to include an explicit content mode bucks industry trends toward implementing safeguards against the generation of harmful material. This approach could raise regulatory scrutiny and public backlash.

Other AI-powered image and video generation tools, such as OpenAI’s DALL·E and Google’s DeepMind, have implemented strict content moderation policies to prevent the creation of explicit or harmful content. These platforms employ filters and monitoring systems to ensure responsible use. In contrast, Grok Imagine’s permissive approach sets it apart, but also exposes it to potential abuse and ethical dilemmas.

The introduction of “Spicy Mode” in Grok Imagine represents a bold move in the field of AI-generated content, challenging existing norms and raising important questions about the balance between creative freedom and ethical responsibility.

Spicy Mode allows you to create a video up to 15 seconds long with adult images and natural audio. Although the company has imposed some restrictions on this tool, it still creates some scenes that bypass even the company’s filters.

Some time ago, xAI employee Mati Roy posted on X (Twitter) mentioning this feature and stating that this tool can generate nudity. This post may have been deleted later, but by then, it had already spread like wildfire on social media.
