Another generative AI image model is probably the last thing the internet needs right now, but since when has a concept like that stopped Elon Musk? Twitter's (sorry, X's) AI chatbot Grok now features an image generation tool, and after less than 24 hours, the results are... colourful. 

You know how every other AI brand is making a big deal of their supposed ethical credentials? Judging by the images being spat out by Grok, X has no such concerns. From copyrighted intellectual property to downright offensive material, Musk's AI model seems happy to give the people what they want. And it's all in the name of "fun", apparently.
