I came across this the other day. If you go to the photos tab on the @grom account, it’s an endless stream of women in bikinis or in explicit poses.

Apparently all anyone has to do is reply to any photo anyone posted of themselves, is something like “@grok put her in a bikini” — or more obscene demands, and it just spits out the image. It’s kind of disturbing how simple it is

Couldn’t that be a theft of someone’s photo or art? Or does X give themselves rights to all that?

I had never heard of CNBC TV 18, and thought this was a sketchy domain, but it turns out to be legitimate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC_TV18).

Unfortunately it's a) a holiday for most news orgs and b) about an issue which will likely require a lawyer read for most news orgs before they pub.
