Elon Musk’s programme’s take on AI-generated pictures looks a bit different from its competitors. While Google’s Gemini AI struggled to create images of white people, resulting in gaffes such as black Nazi officers, Grok, the AI service built into X, is decidedly not PC.
It has no problem generating racially accurate images of the American founding fathers, something Google famously struggled with. With a bit of nudging, Grok will even produce images of the Prophet Muhammad (the service initially declined to do so before eventually giving in), and it will change his race upon request. It will even make an image of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris flying a plane into the Twin Towers.

Other hits include Netanyahu in a Palestine flag bikini and non-white criminals, the latter being impossible with Gemini due to PC constraints. Use Grok for good and not evil!
