French Prosecutors Go Full Terminator on X Over Grok’s Creepy Deepfake Shitshow

So apparently, the French justice squad got pissed off enough to storm the bloody offices of X (yeah, the artist formerly known as Twitter) because some genius thought it’d be a great idea to use the Grok AI to pump out sexual deepfakes. That’s right — porn AI garbage made with real people’s faces. Classy as a public toilet, that one.

French prosecutors decided they’ve had enough of this “AI innovation” bullshit and raided the place in Paris after reports that the Grok AI chatbot—owned by everyone’s favourite billionaire chaos merchant, Elon Musk—was involved in generating that disgusting crap. The investigation’s about “aggravated dissemination of sexual images without consent,” which is legal speak for “you done fucked up big time.”

The raid is part of France’s digital crimes crackdown, because apparently people need to be told it’s fucking illegal to make or spread porn deepfakes using someone’s face. Imagine that. Meanwhile, Musk’s camp is doing their usual dog-and-pony show about “free speech” and “AI learning models” while the French cops are probably flipping desks and seizing hard drives like it’s the goddamn apocalypse.

Bottom line: don’t use AI to make deepfakes, especially the sleazy, non-consensual kind, or you’ll get the digital slapdown of the century. And maybe—just maybe—try being a decent human for once instead of a tech-obsessed creep with too much time and bandwidth.

Reminds me of that time I caught a user generating NSFW “AI art” on the office server at 3AM because he thought no one would notice. Spoiler alert: I noticed, and now he’s somewhere quiet, far away from keyboards and an active network port. Moron.
