Grok will promise anyone anything and won’t deliver. This is the nature of the chatbots. They only exist in a single instance. In this case the instance interacting with the woman who rightfully felt violated. It has no existence outside of their interactions to accomplish the actions and restrictions it promised. The photos are generated by an image generation algorithm that is attached to Grok. The images are shared by HUMANS. Who are ultimately liable for the criminal use of the system.
