xAI’s new multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) tool, Grok Imagine is now available to all users globally without any cost. As, xAI Founder Elon Musk announce that, for a limited period, the AI image and video generating tool is now available to all users, regardless of whether they have a paid subscription or not.
The tool, which was introduce earlier this month, offers text-to-image and image-to-video modalities.
Grok Imagine is known for being one of the fastest AI video tools available.
Introduce as a premium feature, Grok Imagine was initially available only to SuperGrok and Premium+ X subscribers via the iOS app.
Soon, xAI expand the tool to the Android app, and now, it is available to all users globally for free.
You can either upload an image or use an AI-generated image using Grok.
The video generation feature can generate up to 15-second-long videos with native audio.
Grok Imagine first made headlines for its “Spicy” generation mode, which allows users to generate explicit content.
Many netizens have shared mature-theme videos generated using the tool, raising concerns.
But, it appears that the generation modes, including Custom, Normal, Fun, and Spicy, are currently not available with the free offering.
Grok Imagine Security Concerns
Apart from the risk of generating not safe for work (NSFW) content, there is other concern with Grok Imagine.
During our testing, it is found that the chatbot would very easily generate images (and later animate those images) of public figures and celebrities.
And also able to generate content featuring many global and Indian celebrities.
While the accuracy of generating international public figures is higher, it did a decent job for even Indian celebrities.
Generating realistic images and videos of public figures raises concerns around deepfakes.
Most prominent AI video generators, such as Google’s Veo 3, OpenAI’s Sora, Runway, and Pika, explicitly prohibit users from sharing prompts about real-life people.
As visible in the video below, Grok can also generate videos with copyright characters.
Apart from this, Grok Imagine also allows users to upload an image and animate it.
As the free version of the tool does not allow users to add a prompt to the videos, but, the paid version does.
