Elon Musk's xAI has launched Spicy Mode in Grok AI, which can create adult videos from text prompts for ₹700 monthly. This feature is currently available for Premium Plus users on iOS.
Spicy Mode: Elon Musk is once again in the spotlight in the world of AI technology, but this time the reason is not a scientific achievement, but the growing controversy surrounding his new feature. Elon Musk's AI company xAI recently added a new feature called 'Spicy Mode' to its multimodal platform Grok Imagine. This feature is now available on the X (formerly Twitter) iOS app for Premium Plus and SuperGrok users. It is priced at approximately ₹700 per month.
The highlight of this feature is that it generates adult-themed videos from text prompts given by the user. Although the company has imposed some restrictions, experts believe that this AI tool has the ability to create nudity content and explicit scenes, which could add a new and worrying chapter to the digital world.
What is Grok's Spicy Mode feature?
Grok Imagine's Spicy Mode is a generative AI tool that can create adult or bold-themed videos based solely on text input. This tool creates videos up to 15 seconds long with visuals and natural sound. This feature is presented to users as a creative option, but its capabilities and the content created through it are raising several questions. Although the company claims that filters and restrictions have been placed on content creation in this mode, several reports have revealed that AI is also capable of bypassing these security filters.
Who can use it?
This feature is currently only available on the X (formerly Twitter) iOS app, and is only active for users who take the Premium Plus or SuperGrok subscription. The SuperGrok plan is priced at approximately ₹700 per month. This means that after paying this amount, any user can use this bold content creating feature. This tool has been launched especially for users who are interested in advanced AI creation, but how ethical or safe its use is has now become a new topic of debate.
How was the feature revealed?
The information about this Spicy Mode first came to light from a post by xAI employee Mati Roy. He shared the features of this tool on his X account and stated that it is also capable of generating nudity content. Although the post was deleted shortly after, this news had spread rapidly on social media by then. Several tech blogs and users tried out the actual capabilities of this feature, and after that, questions began to be raised about its ethics.
Misuse of AI and Growing Problems
The biggest concern regarding Spicy Mode is that people can misuse it. Technology experts believe that such a tool can make it easier to create fake pornographic videos, online bullying and false content. In the coming times, this could become a threat to people whose face or identity exists on the internet, because an AI-created video may look real, while it is completely fake.
Ethics Weak Before Technology?
Generative AI has already revolutionized many fields — from art, music, animation, and video. But when it comes to the creation of adult content, ethics and control become the most important issues. With the advent of Spicy Mode, the question arises whether technology can be left uncontrolled simply because it can do something new? Shouldn't companies adopt strict moderation systems and legal regulations before releasing such technology?
No Clear Response from xAI
No official clarification has yet been given by xAI regarding this controversial feature. However, according to sources, this feature is still in the experimental stage and will be improved based on user feedback.
