The highly criticised feature on Elon Musk-owned X that allowed users to create sexually explicit and violent imagery from real photos of women and children has been switched off for the vast majority of users.

It comes after a global outcry, and warnings from multiple jurisdictions, including Ireland, that X could face heavy fines for this use of the Grok AI tool on the X platform.
