Activists erected a large inflatable figure of Elon Musk in New York City’s Times Square on June 11 to protest the AI chatbot Grok.
In the middle of New York City’s Times Square, a massive, inflatable effigy of billionaire Elon Musk towered over tourists and commuters earlier today. It was surrounded by black banners with statements alleging “Grok makes AI child porn” and “SpaceX owns Grok,” referring to the Musk-owned AI chatbot whose image-generation tool was used to create a flood of sexualized images of minors earlier this year.
Masked attendants stood nearby, handing out flyers with additional information, but they would not speak with the media.
