X has given Grok a brand new AI picture generator mannequin referred to as “Aurora” that appears to create way more photorealistic imagery than Grok’s different picture generator, with equally few obvious restrictions on what it’s going to produce, TechCrunch reports. Like Grok, anybody can use Aurora. It lives in a brand new “Grok 2 + Aurora beta” choice within the Grok mannequin selector, although you’ll solely get a couple of queries earlier than you hit the X Premium subscription paywall and have to attend.
TechCrunch discovered that the mannequin, which X worker Chris Park posted is available this morning, was prepared to create copyrighted characters and public figures, together with Mickey Mouse and “a bloodied Donald Trump,” however that it “stopped wanting nudes.” Its lack of restrictions isn’t stunning, given our expertise with Grok’s different mannequin.
In one other instance highlighted by TechCrunch, an X consumer confirmed off AI-generated photographs of Ray Romano and Adam Sandler within the X put up under — each practical, however with some very apparent weirdness on the subject of human anatomy and continuity.
