Grok Imagine creates explicit images and videos with “spicy mode”

While most AI companies are implementing increasingly strict filters on generated content, Elon Musk is going against the grain (for a change). Grok Imagine is xAI's new image and video generator , allowing the creation of content that other models automatically block.

Grok Imagine Uncensored, Generate Adult Images and Videos

Grok Imagine includes a special mode, called “spicy mode,” that allows it to generate sexually explicit content , including partial female nudity . This is a bold move in an industry where companies like OpenAI and Google have imposed strict limitations on themselves to avoid controversy and legal issues.

The tool, available to SuperGrok and Premium+ subscribers on X's iOS app , turns text prompts or images into 15-second videos with native audio. And yes, it even works to generate celebrities in situations that other AI generators would flatly refuse to create.

During TechCrunch's tests, many of the more explicit prompts produced blurry and "moderate" images, demonstrating that even Grok Imagine has its limitations, but not by much. It was possible to generate semi-nude images without any particular difficulty.

Interestingly, while the system allows for the creation of celebrity content, it has some specific restrictions. Attempts to generate images of Donald Trump pregnant, for example, only produced images of the former president holding a baby or standing next to a pregnant woman.

Grok's controversial legacy

This isn't the first time Musk's AI has come under fire for questionable content. Last month , xAI launched AI companions , including a hypersexualized anime girl . And just like then, what began as "freedom of expression" risks turning into a platform for misogynistic, anti-Semitic, and hateful content.

Despite the controversies, it must be said that Grok Imagine works incredibly well. It generates images in seconds from text prompts and automatically continues to create new variations as you scroll. The images can then be animated into stylized videos, and the interface is fluid and intuitive.

However, like many current AI generators, it has problems with human faces. The skin is too flawless, the eyes are slightly crooked, and the expressions don't look natural. Sometimes the result is more cartoon-like than a real photo. This is one of the unsolved problems of artificial intelligence. It can create fantastic landscapes and believable objects, but humans are still too difficult to perfectly imitate.

Grok Imagine against everyone

With Grok Imagine , xAI is challenging giants like Google's Veo, OpenAI's Sora, and others, betting on uncensored "creative freedom." It's a risky but potentially profitable strategy. There's certainly a market for less restrictive AI generation tools.

Musk himself promised that the model will improve every day , suggesting that this is just the first version of the Grok Imagine.
