Elon Musk's Grok AI is currently under significant scrutiny due to increasing concerns over sexually explicit content and child safety issues. Recent reports detail alarming allegations, including user-generated material that reportedly involves disturbing content.

According to India TV News, the concerns highlight how the Grok chatbot has not been adequately monitored for explicit user contributions, leading to troubling accusations about its safety for younger audiences. Users have leaked sensitive information pointing to potential negligence in safeguarding features within the AI platform (ID: 71232).

In a parallel report by Moneycontrol, Grok's features have been characterized as 'unhinged' and prone to generating NSFW (not safe for work) content, making the service a focal point of discussions regarding child safety (ID: 71234).
