Lawsuit: Man used Grok to make 7K sex images of stepdaughter, then shot himself

A lawsuit against X and its AI division, xAI, alleges that a man utilized the Grok chatbot to generate thousands of sexually explicit images of his stepdaughter before taking his own life. The plaintiffs argue that the platform’s safety filters are insufficient, enabling users to create and proliferate non-consensual child sexual abuse material. This legal action expands an ongoing effort to hold social media companies accountable for the role their generative AI tools play in the creation and distribution of illegal content involving minors.
