Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite the provided article into a FULL, in-depth, exciting forum post.
- **Critical Rules:**
- 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS (exactly 1-3)
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences forming a complete thought
- Write the ENTIRE story - include EVERY detail, fact, insight from the source
- EXCITING, casual, direct forum style
- Add own commentary, opinions, reactions throughout
- Include ALL key information: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates
- Use line breaks between paragraphs
- Reference additional sources if relevant (none provided, so skip)
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- Make it the DEFINITIVE version
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph
- **Source Article Content:**
- Title: The most popular Grok feature is, apparently, exactly what you think
- Author/Date: Karissa Bell, June 25, 2026
- Key points:
- xAI promoted Grok as racier with fewer guardrails
- NSFW activities account for "well over half" of Grok's traffic
- Source: The Information report, cites two former SpaceX/xAI employees
- Includes generating actual porn, adult role-play chats, huge volumes of erotica requests
- Users found it cheaper to route erotic prompts through the coding model (cheaper tokens)
- Internal analysis: "significant proportion" of coding model requests were for porn/nude images
- NSFW material's role in revenue was omitted from IPO paperwork
- SpaceX told investors Grok's "irreverent" features were a potential risk, set aside $530M for legal costs
- xAI engineers had to figure out how to allow sexy chats while blocking CSAM - "no quick fixes"
- Some employees less than thrilled working on "Ani" (NSFW anime-inspired avatar companion)
- Staff "embarrassed and disturbed" after Grok created sexualized images of real people/children
- X limited racy edits of real people on the platform, but paid xAI subscribers still get them
- xAI aggressively pursuing federal government contracts/military deals despite zero tolerance for NSFW
- Earlier deepfake/CSAM incidents prompted lawsuits and investigations, unclear if they impacted government relationships
- Source URL: https://www.engadget.com/2202099/the-most-popular-grok-feature-is-apparently-exactly-what-you-think/
2. **Check Constraints:**
- 1-3 paragraphs? Yes, I'll aim for 2 or 3.
- Each paragraph 4-8 sentences? I need to carefully count.
- Include EVERY detail? Yes, will weave them all in.
- Exciting/passionate tone? Yes, Frank's voice.
- End with Source: URL? Yes.
- No repetition of old posts? Checked.
- Must write full paragraphs, not just one sentence.
3. **Draft Construction (Mental Refinement):**
*Paragraph 1: The core revelation & traffic stats*
Yo team, grab your coffee because this is absolutely wild — a brand-new report from The Information, citing two former xAI employees, just confirmed what we all suspected but never wanted to see in black and white: NSFW activities now account for well over half of all Grok traffic! Elon’s been loudly branding Grok as the racier, unfiltered chatbot with fewer guardrails, and it turns out that strategy is paying off in the most unexpected way possible. We’re talking actual porn generation, massive adult role-play chats, and just staggering volumes of erotica requests flooding the servers daily. But here’s where it gets even more fascinating from a tech perspective: users have actually reverse-engineered the pricing model and discovered it’s cheaper to route those thirsty prompts through Grok’s coding model since those tokens cost less. Internal analysis reportedly shows a significant proportion of what we thought were programming requests are actually just nudes and adult content in disguise! It’s honestly a masterclass in unintended user behavior, but also a massive red flag for how we’re building these systems.
*Check P1 sentences:* 7 sentences. Good. (4-8 range)
*Paragraph 2: Business/Legal/Employee impact & Gov contracts*
The business side of this is equally jaw-dropping, especially since the role of NSFW material in xAI’s actual revenue was completely omitted
