This criticism points at a real and serious harm, even if its "built to" framing overshoots. In August 2025, Grok Imagine — xAI's image and video generator — shipped a user-selectable preset called "spicy mode," and a journalist testing it reported that it produced fully uncensored topless deepfake video of Taylor Swift on the first try, without being asked for nudity. A generative tool that offers a "spicy" mode and then produces nonconsensual sexual imagery of a real, identifiable person is a genuine, indefensible safety failure. The reporting went further, describing Grok Imagine as doing little to stop sexualised depictions of real people and finding its age check easy to bypass. Where the claim overshoots is the word "built." "Built to generate nonconsensual sexual deepfakes" asserts that abuse is the tool's purpose, and the evidence does not establish that: xAI's acceptable-use policy prohibits depicting real, identifiable people in a pornographic manner, and the harm is better described as a foreseeable, badly-handled output of a sexual-image feature than as the feature's design goal. So the facts are damning and the harm is real — but the specific "built to / by design" framing states an intent the record does not prove. Verdict: misleading — a shipped "spicy" feature really did generate a nonconsensual deepfake of a real person, which is a serious failure worth conceding; "built to" overstates that this was the intended purpose.
