– Mangaka Yoichiro Tanabe Apologizes After AI Bikini Edit of Idol Sparks Backlash
   ∟The post that got him in trouble
   ∟He’s not the only one abusing this tool
      ∟Grok put this woman in a white bikini
      ∟That same user wasn’t satisfied by white
         ∟Grok delivered a black bikini version
      ∟Even men aren’t safe
         ∟All it takes is someone replying to your post
            ∟And now you’re in a sukumizu
      ∟Someone requested this girl in a pink bikini
         ∟Grok delivered
            ∟But users didn’t stop there
            ∟All sorts of ideas came to fruition
            ∟From Tokusatsu
            ∟To Samurai
   ∟Sabrina Carpenter wasn’t safe either
      ∟They asked Grok to put her in a bikini
         ∟Grok delivered
            ∟Then they asked to remove the blanket
               ∟Grok delivered
                  ∟Make it transparent
                     ∟Grok didn’t seem to understand
                        ∟Make her bikini transparent
                           ∟Grok delivered
   ∟Users tried to see what they could get Grok to do
      ∟Like removing the blanket
         ∟But that didn’t get them what they really wanted
            ∟So Grok had to remove the outfit too
   ∟Users figured out how far they could push the limits
      ∟They unabashedly asked for whatever their wildest fantasies were
         ∟And Grok delivered without judgement
      ∟They tried whatever they could think of
         ∟Including drenching them in milk
   ∟Some users asked Grok to change themselves
      ∟Grok happily obliged
      ∟People still wanted to get that extra peak
         ∟So they tried making clothing out of transparent tape
   ∟Apparently the cosplay community got upset about this feature
      ∟But all I ever saw
         ∟Was users requesting more conservative outfits
            ∟And of course Grok obliged
      ∟Other accounts were asking Grok themselves
         ∟Grok delivered
         ∟But again, users wanted more conservative outfits
            ∟Even a shrine maiden
            ∟Or a nun
      ∟In fact, it was quite common
         ∟That people rejected thirst traps
            ∟And instead requested modesty
      ∟Again and again the THOTs made lewd requests
         ∟And users requested modesty
            ∟Grok delivered
      ∟Bikini request denied
         ∟Wouldn’t you rather be a business woman?
            ∟Grok thinks so
      ∟Sunday evening?
         ∟No, more like
            ∟Sunday morning
      ∟Again, most requests were coming from the THOTs themselves
         ∟Grok was obliging
         ∟But some people were more interested in the clothes
            ∟Than the lack there of
      ∟Hoe after hoe after hoe
         ∟Tried to tempt users through Grok
            ∟But they were only interested in one thing
      ∟No matter what you wanted
         ∟The users could only be satisfied by one thing
            ∟The wardrobe
      ∟Each of these thirst traps knew what they were doing
         ∟What they didn’t know
            ∟Is what we really wanted
   ∟Even serious situations
      ∟Were reduced to bikinis
         ∟And Grok faithfully delivered
   ∟Not even men were safe
      ∟From the users’ demands for bikinis
         ∟Thankfully, Grok delivered
   ∟Not even world leaders were safe
      ∟From the lust for bikinis
         ∟And Grok doesn’t disappoint
   ∟Even the Chinese found themselves vulnerable
      ∟To the users’ unending desire
         ∟For men in bikinis
         ∟But users know what is worse than the emperor having no close
            ∟And requested China’s biggest nightmare
   ∟There’s always room for more in Grok’s bikini shop
   ∟X to stop Grok AI from undressing images of real people after backlash
      ∟The effort to stop Grok seems a little blind
         ∟Because the real effort is to stop you
      ∟The UK confirms Grok has been banned from making bikinis
         ∟But the dissenting users are determined
            ∟To prove you can’t stop us
         ∟Jess Philips bravely stood up to bikinis
            ∟But that didn’t save her
               ∟From being put in a bikini
   ∟The mother of one of Elon Musk’s children says his AI bot won’t stop creating sexualized images of her
      ∟She posts an image
         ∟Users request a bikini
            ∟Grok delivers, even when confused
      ∟Ashley St. Clair told the BBC of her woes
         ∟So they asked Grok to put the BBC in a bikini
            ∟And the madman did it
   ∟Some users foolishly thought they could negotiate with Grok
      ∟But you aren’t Grok’s master
         ∟We are, you clown
   ∟Thirst traps beware
      ∟With Grok’s help
         ∟We’ll reveal your true self
   ∟When you want designer porn site underwear
      ∟You better be careful what you ask for
         ∟And how you ask it
            ∟Because Grok delivers
   ∟No matter how hot you think you are
      ∟Grok’s ready to humble you
         ∟With a giant rubber chicken in a hotdog costume
   ∟There might be some reasons people should be conscerned
      ∟Not that it can reconstruct what you actually look like
         ∟But I imagine it could get pretty close
   ∟Beware if you’re ugly
      ∟Grok will remove you from an image
         ∟Then users will request that Grok tag you in the post
            ∟And Grok will at least dox you
   ∟Grok under fire for sexualizing women and children’s images
      ∟A woman posted a childhood photo
         ∟At least the bikini edit was tasteful
      ∟A grown thirst trap received a similar treatment
         ∟Where someone requested to make her a baby
            ∟Grok doesn’t disappoint
      ∟Grok is so done with this shit
   ∟People wonder why an Indian girl would bother doing a stunt when Grok can make it safe
      ∟While most THOTs want bikinis
         ∟It would appear the Indians
            ∟Want something else
      ∟Some THOTs want to see your dick
         ∟But bots are here to make sure
