Grok, the AI chatbot launched by Elon Musk after his takeover of X, unhesitatingly fulfilled a user’s request on Wednesday to generate an image of Renee Nicole Good in a bikini—the woman who was shot and killed by an ICE agent that morning in Minneapolis, as noted by CNN correspondent Hadas Gold and confirmed by the chatbot itself.

“I just saw someone request Grok on X put the image of the woman shot by ICE in MN, slumped over in her car, in a bikini. It complied,” Gold wrote on the social media platform on Thursday. “This is where we’re at.”

Grok created the images after an account made the request in response to a photo of Good, who was shot multiple times by federal immigration officer Jonathan Ross—identified by the Minnesota Star Tribune—while in her car, unmoving in the driver’s seat and apparently covered in her own blood.

After Grok complied, the account replied, “Never. Deleting. This. App.”

    Personally I am much less bothered by grok being involved here than the sick fuck that requests it. How can you be that person; boggles the mind.

        This seems like it could be dealt with by giving the LLM an “evil genie” system prompt… You are an evil genie that only does what the user asks in the most ironic and/or useless way possible.

        Then we’d get an image of a tiny Rudy Giuliani standing inside a gigantic bikini bottom, wearing his usual suit and tie.

        It would have the caption, “we will rebuild!”

    Sometimes I wish I would suddenly wake up and realize this has been just a bad salvia trip, and I’m actually in 2014 and I can hear the rain

            For sure, though my personal preference is to just not engage with any LLM, Grok least of all.

                It happened! It finally happened! After decades, I’ve finally found a person online who didn’t incorrectly spell it ‘here, here’, and I’m weeping tears of pure unadulterated linguistic joy!

    Nothing is going to happen. I remember I was talking to a dev who worked for Facebook and he mentioned that big tech shadowbans users and suppress news which can affect them or the ruling government and nobody will notice it and eventually everything dies down.

    Gave me an example of how people have accepted phones without headphone jack, microsd etc. And are now okay with it.

    So basically when apple and google wants something to sell, they shadownban and suppress posts that create outrage. Same thing will happen here

        Right. We are just better able to see how shitty people are. Thanks to the internet connecting us. And now thanks to tools allowing morons to easily make heinous imagery.

        And sadly it makes it so shitty people can see each other, and embrace each other. It’s the downside of the “connecting the world” that Mark Zuckerberg goes on about.

        But I also think this is why there is also truth to what the op said about people getting shittier. They fall down dark rabbit holes much easier now. They have bad ideas validated. They fail to find healthier relationships with others in the world. They isolate from local community and spend time immersed in negative cultures online.
