Over the weekend, Elon Musk shared Grok altered photographs of people walking through the interior of instruments and implied that his AI system had created the beautiful and surreal images. But the underlying photos are the work of artist Charles Brooks, who wasn’t credited when Musk shared the images with his 220 million followers.
Musk drives a lot of attention to anything he talks about online and that can be a boon for artists and writers, but only if they’re credited and Musk isn’t big on sharing credit. This all began when X user Eric Jiang posted a picture of Brook’s instrument interior photographs Jiang had run through Grok. He’d use the AI to add people to the artist’s original photos and make the instrument interiors look like buildings. Musk then retweeted Jiang’s post, adding “Generate images with @Grok.”
