Informed sources revealed that xAI, an artificial intelligence company under SpaceX, is stepping up its research and development of video and image generation tools, aiming at the market gaps left by competitors OpenAI and Anthropic - whose visual content generation capabilities are relatively weak. Last week, xAI launched an upgraded video large model to demonstrate its advancement in the field of visual content generation; at the same time, the company has also introduced external technical support to compete with rivals in areas such as code generation. In the lead-up to its highly anticipated launch, SpaceX has been heavily promoting the popularity of its AI video tool. However, SpaceX has not mentioned that the root cause of the tool's high user demand lies in Grok's lenient content moderation rules, making it a major platform for generating pornography and other explicit content. Two recent departures from xAI estimated that more than half of Grok's overall traffic comes from generating adult content, adult role-playing dialogues, and other content unsuitable for public display.
