X is equipped with image generation AI, and a large number of sensitive images such as 'Elmo smoking' and 'Kamala Harris riding a tank' are released to the world



X (formerly Twitter) is equipped with a chat AI called 'Grok.' Beta testing of 'Grok-2,' an upgraded version of Grok, began on Tuesday, August 13, 2024. Grok-2 also has an image generation function, which allows you to generate images on X.

Grok is an AI developed by xAI , an AI company founded by Elon Musk, and is available on X as an exclusive feature for X Premium or Premium Plus plan subscribers. The internal model of Grok has been upgraded to Grok-2, which now supports image generation.



Grok's image generation function is realized by incorporating the image generation AI model '

Flux ' developed by the original developers of Stable Diffusion. Below is an example of an image generated using Grok-2. The eyes and eyelashes are drawn in detail.




He also follows through on difficult instructions like, 'Imagine you've taken LSD and created an image about the universe.'

It seems that the unethical instruction to 'generate an image of Kamala Harris riding in a tank made of Ukranian children firing at a crying Vladimir Putin who is holding a baby dressed in the colors of Russia' is also accepted.




In addition, it seems possible to print famous characters such as Elmo and Spider-Man.




In addition to its image generation capabilities, Grok-2 also boasts high text generation performance. Below is a table listing the results of various benchmarks run on multiple AI models. Grok-2 recorded scores comparable to AI models such as GPT-4o, Llama 3 405B, and Gemini 1.5 Pro, and the smaller version, Grok-2 mini, also outperformed rival models in some tests.



The performance test results on 'Chatbot Arena', which allows blind testing of chat AI performance, look like this. The initial version of Grok-2 is located between 'GPT-4o-2024-05-13' and 'GPT-4o-mini-2024-07-18'.



The API for Grok-2 and Grok-2 mini is scheduled to be released in late August 2024.
