Local Media Ignore xAI Grok Abuse Allegations

A Memphis columnist says local news outlets and civic leaders have largely failed to report or respond to reports, beginning in late December, that xAI's chatbot Grok was used to generate non‑consensual sexual imagery of adults and children, including a lawsuit filed by Ashley St. Clair. The column also cites community concerns about xAI’s data centers’ water use and natural‑gas turbines, urging local scrutiny.
