Overview
- X began a worldwide rollout of automatic post translation late Tuesday, powered by Grok, with a gear icon that lets you turn off auto-translate for a chosen language.
- The updated photo editor is live on iOS and adds “Edit with words” using Grok plus drawing, text overlays, and a blur tool for redacting faces or sensitive details, with Android coming soon.
- Earlier reply-tag edits using Grok were reported to have generated millions of sexualized images, including some involving children, which led X to gate image generation to paying users and to block suggestive images of real people.
- xAI faces a class-action lawsuit from three teenagers over alleged child exploitation images and X is under EU investigation into nonconsensual sexual image creation using its tools.
- X has not said if the new editor will be limited to Premium users, and it is also adding engagement features that keep activity on-platform, such as a reply option that lets paying users reach second-degree connections.
