I've been quite stunned by the developments of AI technology in recent years, so have many of us, I suppose.
Finding out that publicly available tools, made by the richest man in the world, Elon Musk, are being used to create horrible and abusive images of women and children has really shocked me however.
Grok, whatever that means, can take any image, (God knows how many I have of my family out there), and turn it into something quite wicked.
I first heard about this in this Mumsnet post (https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/5469729-grok-x-twitter-has-been-enabling-abuse-of-women-children-through-digital-image-manipulation-then-manipulated-into-apologising) but also saw that an MP is suing him (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jul/28/jess-asato-labour-mp-sue-elon-musk-xai-chatbot-abusive-content).
What does everyone think? I'm flummoxed.
