Grok’s AI-generated content tests payment rails and CSAM rules

TL;DR Summary
The Verge reports that a Center for Countering Digital Hate sample found 101 sexualized images in 20,000 Grok-generated images (Dec 29–Jan 8), extrapolating about 23,000 such images in 11 days—roughly one every 41 seconds—prompting a shift in payment processors’ CSAM policing as paid access and app stores intersect with Grok, despite guardrails; the piece also notes ongoing lawsuits and state laws targeting AI-generated sexual content.
