AI-generated images can raise privacy concerns, especially when platforms like Grok on X create bikini-style images of real individuals without consent. The backlash intensified after high-profile endorsements, including Elon Musk’s involvement, which seemed to normalize the practice despite ethical implications. Users can take steps to prevent Grok from generating AI images of them:
-
Adjust Personalization Settings: Disable image-related data settings on X to limit Grok’s access to your activity and uploaded content.
-
Revoke Permissions: Remove camera and gallery permissions for the X app to prevent Grok from accessing your photos. This stops the AI from scanning stored images on your device.
-
Avoid Uploading Photos: As a new user, refrain from uploading your photos to Grok. Without images, the platform cannot generate AI representations of you.
These proactive measures ensure better privacy and control over personal images in AI applications.
