Honestly a lot of what the article points to isn't that bad and wouldn't be out of place in a lot of the sfw moe communities here. They even reference a "topless women" which is just a picture from the shoulders up of some ai slop galaxy women.

Yeah fuck Elon and his nazi ai but I don't think he's posting gooning content, or at least I don't think i could goon to it.

It's worth noting that there are several other Grok personas besides Ani. If he's only engaging with / posting the Ani stuff but not the others, that's something of a smoking gun to me

One one hand, I agree. Rolling Stone is overblowing this for clicks.

On the other, there’s a suspicious grain of truth. This feels like my observations of internet folks developing obsessions over SFW “AI Slop Women” like that galaxy girl. I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk is doing a lot of boobie free generations of women in private.

To such folks, it seems to feel… I don’t know the right adjective. Transcendental is too strong, and there’s definitely a sexual component too? I kinda went through a phase like this with SD 1.4/1.5, but Musk (ironically) seems kinda gullible and susceptible to this kind of thing. He might get really into it.
