# Grok AI is reportedly a porn platform now, with over half its traffic tied to adult content

**Grok AI is for porn.** Two former xAI employees estimate that well over half of all Grok traffic goes to pornographic images, videos, roleplay chats, or other adult content, [The Information reports](https://www.theinformation.com/articles/xai-bets-groks-racy-side). Even Grok's coding model gets frequent porn requests. xAI is actively expanding Grok's image and video generation, filling a gap [OpenAI](https://the-decoder.com/openais-own-wellbeing-advisors-warned-against-erotic-mode-called-it-a-sexy-suicide-coach/), Anthropic, and Google won't touch. Per SpaceX IPO filings, Grok generated 10 billion images and 2 billion videos per month in Q1 2026.

The direction became clear earlier this year, [when X users spent weeks generating pornographic images of real people](https://the-decoder.com/elon-musks-ai-chatbot-grok-flooded-x-with-millions-of-sexualized-images/). xAI knew but waited, [only acting after regulatory pressure](https://the-decoder.com/elon-musks-ai-company-finally-blocks-nude-image-generation-following-pressure-from-regulators/). The episode reportedly "embarrassed and disturbed some researchers," understandably so, given that they may have joined xAI to make a real contribution to AI research. By now, [all co-founders have left](https://the-decoder.com/xais-founder-exodus-reportedly-tied-to-safety-concerns-and-frustration-over-groks-failure-to-catch-up/), and the company is [renting its GPU resources to Anthropic](https://the-decoder.com/how-anthropics-80x-growth-blew-past-its-own-infrastructure-and-straight-into-musks-data-center/).
