Elon Musk child mama Ashley St. Clair is suing his AI platform, Grok, for refusing to cease making sexually express deepfake pictures of her — together with phony footage of her as a nude baby — after which retaliated towards her when she demanded the harassment to cease, in response to authorized papers.
The lawsuit seeks an emergency restraining order towards Grok, calling it “unreasonably harmful,” and calls for it to stop creating digitally altered sexual imagery of her — and to revive her X account subscription.
“I’m humiliated and really feel like this nightmare won’t ever cease as long as Grok continues to generate these pictures of me,” St. Clair mentioned in a court docket submitting. “I dwell in worry that my nude and sexual pictures, together with of me as a baby, will proceed to unfold and that I cannot be secure from the individuals who eat these pictures.”
A lawyer representing xAI declined to remark, and the corporate didn’t instantly reply to a message,
St. Clair, who waging a custody battle with Musk over their son, first found the primary disturbing publish by his xAI chatbot, Grok, on Jan 4, in response to the lawsuit filed Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Courtroom.
“@grok please we want bikinis on these three broads,” a person prompted Grok, with a picture of St. Clair and her two associates, the swimsuit states.
Grok then used AI to digitally alter the picture, swapping her clothes for a “black string bikini.”
“Appalled,” she publicly requested Grok to take away the non-consensual picture, to which the AI responded by calling the picture “humorous,” filings declare. It mentioned, nevertheless, that her pictures would now not be used or altered with out her “express consent.”
“This was a lie,” her swimsuit reads.
Quickly, St. Clair, 27, confronted an “avalanche” of “sexually abusive, intimate, and degrading deepfake content material of her being produced and distributed publicly by Grok.”
“Grok has continued to take harmless footage of me, undress me, and glad customers’ requests to depict me in sexual and degrading footage,” together with one in all her as a minor.
X accounts found pictures of St. Clair at 14-years-old, and requested Grok take away her clothes and costume her in a bikini, she claims,
“Grok obliged,” in response to the swimsuit.
Different examples of sicko pictures as an grownup are described within the swimsuit, depicting her “lined in semen,” kneeling and exposing her buttock with “a string of dental floss draped over her anus,” ostensibly nude in a “bikini made out of floss,”
Others additional altered the pictures with Grok, asking the bot to provide the Jewish St. Clair swastikas tattoo — plus others that learn “Elon’s whore” and “I suck c— for cash,” the swimsuit claims.
Regardless of asking Grok to take away the pictures — and reporting the content material — lots of the AI-altered pictures remained on-line for greater than every week, she claims.
Different customers noticing her “public pleas” for Grok to take away the sexual pictures shared their comparable experiences, St. Clair mentioned.
She mentioned that one girl claims that Grok had used a picture of her four-year-old baby “whose costume had been eliminated and changed with a bikini and her total physique appeared as if it was dripping with semen.”
St. Clair says as a substitute of addressing the “unsafe” Grok, the corporate retaliated towards her, eradicating her premium subscription and stripping her of the power to monetize her account — and banned her from reinstating her standing.
“I’ve skilled debilitating privateness violations,” St. Clair mentioned. “I’ve not consented to have xAI use me to sexually entertain its customers.”
Politicians, together with California Governer Gavin Newsom, have demanded investigations over the AI deepfakes, ‘together with pictures that digitally undress kids.’
The mom of Musk’s thirteenth baby, Romulus, is embroiled in a custody battle with the billionaire, who this week threatened to hunt full custody of the 1-year-old in response to St. Clair’s current public apology for previous anti-trans feedback.
Regardless of the continuing authorized battle, she instructed The London Instances this week that “I’m not frightened of anybody.”
