It is known that after reading thousands of complaints, Apple contacted X and xAI separately. Explains what to do for content moderation. After this, X submitted a new update report on the Grok App for review. But X’s report was rejected. It is reported that the change is ‘not enough’.
NBC quoted Apple’s letter sent to US senators, which said, ‘Apple has looked into the X report. Despite some fixes, the Grok App is still working out of the box. We therefore dismiss Grok’s report. Told the developers that more changes needed to be made. Otherwise the app will be removed from the App Store’.
According to NBC, Grok continues to make sexually suggestive images of women, still without their consent. Even deepfake pictures-videos of children are being made. Several such incidents came to light in the last month. But compared to the previous amount has decreased.
