Elon Musk announced on X that Grok, xAI’s AI, can now transform any image into a video by long-tapping and selecting “Make Video with Grok.”
This feature, highlighted in his post, allows users to animate still images quickly, potentially revolutionizing how visual content is shared on the platform.
The capability is part of a broader trend where AI tools like Grok Imagine are being used to create dynamic content, raising both excitement and ethical concerns about memory manipulation and digital authenticity.
The introduction of this feature has sparked a heated debate about the ethical implications of AI-generated videos, particularly around the concept of “digital necromancy,” where old photos of deceased loved ones can be animated.
Critics worry that such technology could lead to psychological harm by creating artificial memories, as discussed in recent X trends and web sources like Mashable and The Guardian.
This aligns with broader concerns about AI’s impact on society, especially following controversies with other AI tools generating explicit content without prompting.
