X Turns Off Grok's Public AI Image Maker For Most Users After Reports of Deepfakes

From PC Mag: Social media network X has introduced new limits to stop free users prompting AI chatbot Grok to generate, edit, and share images.

Public image generation and editing through Grok is now exclusive to paid X Premium subscribers. You can continue to make images on Grok's app, within its private chatbot, or on its website without a subscription, but those results aren't automatically shared publicly.

It’s unclear exactly when these new rules were put in place, but Grok now responds to requests for image editing with a disclaimer explaining the changes.

Grok replies to free users saying, “Image generation and editing are currently limited to paying subscribers. You can subscribe to unlock these features.” It's followed by a link to subscribe to either X Premium or X Premium+.
