If this were a team of humans, liability would be obvious. Because it’s not, and because “safety” is theater (especially in this case), responsibility is intentionally obscured. It’s like stochastic exoneration.
I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesn’t matter that grok is “an AI” whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. That’s functionally identical what happening here. It’s not complicated.
