X gives Grok a new photorealistic AI image generator
There are very few restrictions on what you can make.
X has given Grok a new AI image generator model called “Aurora” that seems to create far more photorealistic imagery than Grok’s other image generator, with similarly few apparent restrictions on what it will produce, TechCrunch reports.
