X users can now play around with the new Grok-2 AI model developed by fellow Elon Musk-owned xAI. The new model is integrated into the Grok AI chatbot on X for Premium or Premium+ subscribers and comes with new features like an integrated AI image generator fueled by the open-source and recently debuted FLUX.1 model.
Flux was built by former Stability AI developers who left to form Black Forest Labs. When it launched, Flux garnered praise for its human figures. Now, those capabilities are available on X, and the immediate output has varied wildly. X has apparently put very few guardrails on Grok-2 or the AI image generator, with reports of the AI providing weapon-making guides and plenty of fake but realistic pictures of celebrities and copyrighted fictional characters that seem like invitations to massive lawsuits.
