Real question as I don't use ChatGPT or Gemini: They publish images of women in bikinis or underwear in response to user prompts? Where do they publish them? I'm looking at Gemini and I don't see any sort of social aspect to it. I just tried the prompt "picture of a dog" and I don't see any way that another person could see it unless I decided to publish it myself.

For this particular one it seems to be that you @grok under a posted image with a request for modifications and that account posts the modified image as a reply.

Right, that seems to me like an important distinction. Other people in this thread have said things like "Well you can draw people in a bikini with a pencil without their permission! Should we ban pencils, too!?" Honestly if someone wants to be weird and draw bikini pictures of journalists they don't like AND KEEP IT TO THEMSELVES, then whatever I guess. That's not what this is. Grok is creating the images. Grok is publishing the images. Grok is harrassing the subjects of the images by posting it in their replies. Neither ChatGPT, Gemini, nor pencils are doing that. (And that doesn't even get into the CSAM aspect.)

One of the many reasons I prefer Claude is that it doesn't even generate images.
