It's horrifying how many people in the UK support blocking Twitter because the AI tool is being misused. And based on an article I saw about one of the Japanese princesses, it was basically "@grok undress her" rather than elaborate prompts people seem to believe?

Given that the UK is trying to block 4chan via the scenic route, this, in my opinion, just gives the government incentive to block any website in the future and throw it back in the faces of the population.

"We're blocking $WEBSITE for $THINK_OF_THE_CHILDREN. You don't get to complain because you supported blocking Twitter, so..."

That said, I honestly believe their hatred of Elon Musk is fuelling that, rather than Grok - which very obviously needs to be fixed - itself.

It's really hard for me to treat the UK government responses to X as more than reading tea-leaves. Illegal porn, not the owner opining about a civil war in the UK, is the final straw for the British government?

Though extra bonus irony points for some of the civil war comments being related to how Musk thinks the UK government is letting in migrants who want to do exactly the sort of thing Musk's own image generator is creating pictures of.

It is not being misused. It is being used as intended.
