Ashley Saint Clair, Ex-Girlfriend of Elon Musk, Faces Disturbing AI-Driven Online Attack
In a disturbing incident that has garnered global attention, Ashley Saint Clair, the former girlfriend of Elon Musk, has become the target of a coordinated online harassment campaign on the platform X. This campaign utilized the artificial intelligence tool Grok to create false and obscene images of her.
Aged 27 and the mother of Musk's child, born two years ago, Ashley expressed feelings of "terror" in response to the attack.
She indicated that this campaign was a retaliatory response to her previous comments regarding Musk's desire for what she termed a "army" of children, as the billionaire is known to have 13 children with three different women.
In statements made to the Guardian, Ashley revealed that she has reported the false images, including one of her as a child, to the platform X. However, she noted that these images have not been removed, stating, "The abuse started over the weekend, and I informed the company and the Grok tool in vain."
She is now contemplating legal action, citing evolving laws in both the United States and the United Kingdom aimed at prohibiting such actions.
This incident has sparked widespread debate and criticism from legislative and regulatory bodies worldwide, particularly following revelations about the use of Grok to fabricate images of women and children in inappropriate contexts.
The platform X has confirmed that it is taking stringent measures against "illegal content," including child exploitation, and that users who misuse Grok to create such content will face consequences.
