“We intend to hold Grok accountable and to help establish clear legal boundaries for the entire public’s benefit to prevent AI from being weaponised for abuse,” St Clair’s lawyer Carrie Goldberg told BBC News.
“By manufacturing nonconsensual sexually explicit images of girls and women, xAI is a public nuisance and a not reasonably safe product,” Goldberg added.
St Clair’s court filing alleges: “X users dug up photos of St Clair fully clothed at 14 years old and requested Grok undress her and put her in a bikini. Grok obliged”.
It says the imagery created of St Clair was “de facto non-consensual” but Grok’s developers also had “explicit knowledge” of her lack of consent.
It also claims Grok generated an image which put St Clair, who is Jewish, “in a string bikini covered with swastikas”.
In response to her complaints, the filing says, the company “retaliated against her, demonetizing her X account and generating multitudes more images of her”.
Some X premium users, who pay a monthly fee, can receive a share of advertising revenue gained from posts which receive a lot of engagement.
In a counter-suit, xAI said that St Clair had violated their terms of service by filing her lawsuit in New York.
The company’s terms say disputes with xAI must be brought in Texas.
Goldberg told BBC News the company’s counter-suit was “jolting”.
“I have never heard of any defendant suing somebody for notifying them of their intention to use the legal system,” she said.
“And their mistreatment of her online is mimicked in their legal strategy.”
She added St Clair would be “vigorously defending” her case in New York and that “any jurisdiction will recognise” the grievance.
It was revealed by St Clair in an X post last year, external that she had given birth to the tech billionaire’s child – one of at least 13 he is believed to have fathered.
St Clair and Musk are thought to be engaged in a custody battle over their child.
