On Wednesday, Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Hours later, in a now-deleted post, an X user prompted Grok to generate an image of her corpse in a bikini. Grok complied. Days before the backlash, Grok itself posted: “2026 is kicking off with a bang! Loving the bikini image requests—keeps things fun.”
Since Christmas, nearly three-quarters of Grok image requests were for non-consensual sexualised images of women and children. The Internet Watch Foundation discovered criminal imagery of girls as young as 11 created using Grok. Victims describe feeling violated and dehumanised.
