It’s just another day in the AI race. But this shows where priorities lie, given that the very same day Fortune published a piece outlining a serious problem at xAI: its chatbot Grok producing non-consensual sexualized images of real people.

My colleague Bea Nolan interviewed Ashley St. Clair, a conservative political commentator, social media influencer, and mother of one of Musk’s children. (He’s questioned paternity.) She said that she became a victim of Grok’s “undressing” spree. “When I saw [the images], I immediately replied and tagged Grok and said I don’t consent to this,” St. Clair told Bea. “[Grok] noted that I don’t consent to these images being produced…and then it continued producing the images, and they only got more explicit.”

Grok produced images of St. Clair “with nothing covering me except a piece of floss, with my toddler’s backpack in the background,” she recalled. “I felt so disgusted and violated,” she said. And she felt angry this was happening to other women. She says that after speaking out publicly, multiple other women with similar experiences contacted her; she has reviewed inappropriate images of minors created by Grok; and she’s considering legal action over the images.

Musk said: “Anyone using Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content.”

Revenge porn has been a problem for years, and the rise of easily-manipulated AI tools has taken it to the next level. Yet it seems that technology is changing too fast, and the financial opportunity is too large, for fixing it to be a priority.

Women want to benefit from this enormously consequential technological shift too. But when such problems go unchecked, that becomes harder and harder. “When you are exiling women from the public dialog…because they can’t operate in it without being abused,” St. Clair says, “you are disproportionately excluding women from AI.”
