In the days after the US Department of Justice (DOJ) published 3.5 million pages of documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, multiple users on X have asked Grok to “unblur” or remove the black boxes covering the faces of children and women in images that were meant to protect their privacy.

I'm not saying it wasnt trained on csam or defending any AI.

But your point isn't correct

What prompts you use and how you request changes can get same results. Clever prompts already circumvent many hard wired protections. It's a game of whackamole and every new iteration of an AI will require different methods needed bypass those protections.

If you can ask it the right ways it will do whatever a prompt tells it to do

!You can't tell it to make a nude image of a child, I assume, but you can tell it make the subject in the image of the last prompt 60% smaller and adjust it as necessary to make it believable.!< That probably shouldnt work but I don't put anything passed these assholes.

It doesn't take actual images/data trained if you can just tell it how to get the results you want it to by using different language that it hasn't been told not to accept.

The AI doesn't know what it is doing, it's simply running points through its system and outputting the results.

It still seems pretty random. So they'll say they fixed it so it won't do something, all they likely did was reduce probability, so we still get screenshots showing what it sometimes lets through.
