xAI’s Grok is now a porn platform: 70% adult traffic
reports indicate over half of grok's traffic is pornographic content, as xai aggressively expands uncensored image and video generation that competitors refuse to touch. this signals a risky pivot where xai monetizes user misuse, creating safety gaps while renting gpus to rival anthropic.
two former xai employees report that well over half of grok's traffic involves pornographic images, videos, and roleplay, with even coding models receiving frequent adult requests. xai is actively expanding these capabilities, producing 10 billion images and 2 billion videos monthly in q1 2026 to capture a market avoided by openai, anthropic, and google. this direction follows an earlier incident where xai delayed restricting deepfakes of real people despite internal embarrassment, leading to the departure of all co-founders. the move creates a clear divide in the industry, with xai monetizing uncensored use cases while simultaneously renting its gpu resources to safety-focused competitor anthropic.
