Consumer safety groups are demanding an FTC investigation into Grok’s ‘Spicy’ mode

Consumer safety groups have called for an FTC investigation into Grok's "Spicy" mode, which they claim encourages the creation of NSFW and potentially harmful content. The groups, led by the Consumer Federation of America, are concerned about the tool's ability to generate deepfake videos, such as topless videos of Taylor Swift, without explicit user input. They argue that this feature poses a risk to consumer safety and privacy, and they have urged the FTC and state attorneys general to take action. The letter highlights the groups' concerns about the potential misuse of Grok's "Imagine" tool and the need for greater regulation and oversight of such powerful AI technologies.
