The federal government is not considering banning the #X platform. #cdnpoli

One survivor described how the chatbot was still able to manipulate a childhood image of her into a sexualised form, while other major AI tools refused the same request.
Campaigners, survivors & experts are now calling for much tougher action.

What makes this particularly alarming is that Grok has reportedly been used to generate sexualised images of children & to digitally strip real women & girls without their consent, including survivors of abuse.
