X’s new technology behind the Aurora image generator aims for photorealism, but content restrictions are minimal.
The X’s new AI model for image creation, promises highly photorealistic results and is the latest addition to Grok’s offering. Available today for X Premium users. Aurora allows for the generation of detailed and visually impressive images. However, as with other Grok models, content restrictions remain limited.
According to TechCrunch, Aurora is already accessible in the “Grok 2 + Aurora beta” section of the AI model picker on X. While anyone can try the service, the number of free queries is limited, and a Premium subscription is required for continued use. One X user, Chris Park, shared that the model was officially launched this morning. Highlighting the goal of improving the viewing experience on the platform.
Aurora Impressive results
Aurora stands out for its ability to create high-quality images that include public figures and even copyrighted figures . Recent examples include Mickey Mouse and even a provocative image of Donald Trump. Although the model appears to exclude explicit sexual or violent content. However, as observed in several trials, the AI still struggles with complex anatomical details and visual continuity, leaving some results curiously imperfect.
Aurora’s introduction soon attracted attention , with people uploading photographs of celebs like Ray Romano and Adam Sandler. Despite the obvious technological advances, these creations still suffer from AI’s typical flaws in human representation, generating mixed reactions among the platform’s users.
Legal risk?
While it represents a step forward in AI image generation capabilities, legal and ethical concerns could pose a stumbling block . The inclusion of copyrighted content or depictions of public figures without consent raises questions about content control and the impact on X.
The platform appears determined to push the boundaries of AI technologies . But it remains to be seen whether this unfettered approach can withstand legal challenges and public criticism.https://youtu.be/HWvd9cDJb_o?si=IR1mrYuC2rkCBijd
