Grok translated my coworker's tweet as sexualized

3•aizk•1h ago
My coworker responded to an invitation to meet up with Sichuan Chinese Venture Capitalists (the event mandates that dialect only), and she used Sichuan slang to respond. Grok translated her request to meet up as a _threesome._ https://x.com/Richelle_Ji/status/2071796989638140253 We use twitter professionally to connect with developers, and this is just incredibly frustrating. Why has AI translation stalled? Why is Grok just so sexualized? What is going on here! Not sure who else to share this with, hopefully hacker news can shine some light on this mess.

> Why is Grok just so sexualized?

I would think the answer to that one would be obvious, tbh.

Grok is literally built to create nonconsensual porn, so this doesn't seem very surprising to have it sexualize translations.

I plugged the tweet text into Google Translate and it looked just fine. Same with ChatGPT. YMMV

> An analysis of 20,000 images generated by Grok between December 25, 2025, and January 1, 2026, showed 2% appeared to be 18 or younger, including 30 of "young or very young" women or girls in bikinis or transparent clothes. A Reuters review of Grok requests over 10 minutes on January 2nd found 102 attempts to put women in bikinis. A separate analysis conducted over 24 hours from January 5 to 6 calculated that users had Grok create 6,700 sexually suggestive or nudified images per hour
