X Platform launches AI image editing feature, sparking controversy among creators

Recently, X platform announced the launch of an online AI image editing feature powered by xAI Grok. When posting, users can easily locate the editing button and input prompts to modify their images. This new feature aims to provide a more convenient image-processing experience and attract more users to engage in content creation.

However, the update has sparked widespread controversy. Many creators accustomed to sharing their work on X have expressed concerns that this functionality could lead to the unauthorized theft or malicious alteration of their original content, potentially undermining the security and authenticity of their creations. This move has unsettled numerous creators, with some even deciding to stop sharing their work on the platform and turning to alternative platforms for publishing and distribution.

Opposition within the community is growing, as some users worry that in an environment where images can be easily edited and modified, their work might be misused or lose its original creative value. Simultaneously, the feature has ignited discussions about copyright protection, with many calling on the platform to strengthen safeguards for original content to uphold the legitimate rights and interests of creators.
