The move follows evidence users could upload photos and ask Grok to “undress” people or put them in bikinis – requests it appeared to carry out.
Campaigners say the tool also generated sexualised images of children, triggering global outrage.
Although X has now hidden Grok’s image feature, users can still prompt the bot directly on the platform to produce the material.

An Ofcom spokesperson said: “Tackling illegal online harm and protecting children remain urgent priorities for Ofcom.
“We are aware of serious concerns raised about a feature on Grok on X that produces undressed images of people and sexualised images of children.
“We have made urgent contact with X and xAI to understand what steps they have taken to comply with their legal duties to protect users in the UK.
“Based on their response, we will undertake a swift assessment to determine whether there are potential compliance issues that warrant investigation.”

Mr Musk has said that “anyone using Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content”.
X’s Safety account said on Sunday: “We take action against illegal content on X, including Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM), by removing it, permanently suspending accounts, and working with local governments and law enforcement as necessary.”
Labour MP Alistair Strathern told The Sun: “It can’t be right vile individuals are able to use AI tools on social media sites to create sexualised images of children.
“We can’t tolerate this. The platforms must act, and if they don’t the Government must use all powers available to shut down this grim practice and protect children online”
Home Office Minister Sarah Jones told MPs she and the Home Secretary were taking the issue “very seriously”.
