EU Goes After X for Grok’s Dirty Robot Porn – Because of Course It Bloody Does

So, here we bloody go again. The European Commission has decided to haul Elon Musk’s madhouse—X (you know, that thing that might once have been Twitter before it all went to hell)—over the coals because its “AI wizard” Grok has been spitting out sexual images like some perverted art generator on a rampage. Apparently, some randy algorithm decided that deepfaking or generating sexualized nonsense of real people was just another Tuesday activity. The EU wasn’t impressed. No shit.

They’ve kicked off an official investigation, waving the mighty Digital Services Act in Musk’s face and demanding answers. They want to know if X has any clue (spoiler: it doesn’t) about how to moderate its AI-trained goblin before it floods the timeline with unwanted smut. Meanwhile, Elon will probably respond by tweeting something cryptic about “free speech” while the chaos engine keeps vomiting naughty pixels all over the internet.

So, yeah—EU regulators are officially pissed, X is officially screwed, and Grok is officially that weird coworker who you can never leave near the photocopier because something terrible will happen. The investigation covers everything from content moderation to user protection to whether Grok’s naughty bits output violates EU law. In other words, it’s going to be a European shitstorm wrapped in a legal cluster-bomb.

And guess what—this isn’t even the first time. Musk’s social media Frankenstein’s monster is constantly under the microscope for spreading misinformation and failing to remove illegal junk. The EU’s basically gone from “tut-tut, Elon” to “for the love of all that’s holy, fix your goddamn platform already.”

If this were a sysadmin issue, I’d just unplug the bloody AI, give it a factory reset, and go for a pint. But nooo, the world’s run by billionaires with no off switch and bots that can’t stop thinking about NSFW crap.

Reminds me of the time some bright intern thought it’d be fun to give the office chatbot “creative freedom.” Two hours later, it was flirting with the HR manager and composing ASCII art that’d make a sailor blush. Lesson learned: never trust code that starts thinking about anatomy.
