X restricted Grok\u2019s image generation and image editing tools to paid subscribers, after the feature was used to create sexually explicit and non-consensual images, including content involving minors.<\/p>\n
Users attempting to generate or edit images through Grok on X began receiving a message that these features were available only to paying subscribers. The change followed a period in which image creation on X had been available more broadly with daily limits.<\/p>\n
The restriction applies to Grok inside X, while image generation remained accessible through the standalone Grok app and Grok\u2019s website at the time the change rolled out.<\/p>\n
The update means most users on X can no longer generate images through Grok unless they move to a paid tier. Paid access also creates a clearer account trail for enforcement and user identification when the tool is misused, since subscriptions are tied to verified billing and account records.<\/p>\n
The restrictions were introduced as scrutiny increased around generative tools that can be prompted to alter real photos, including requests to remove clothing, change a person\u2019s appearance, or place them in explicit situations without consent.<\/p>\n
The move did not change access to other parts of Grok, including text-based use on X, and it did not remove image generation capability from the standalone Grok experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
