Grok Undress Went Viral Then Got Shut Down: The Great Creator Exodus

From viral sensation to 50% rejection rate—creators are finding truly stable alternatives

From "Undress Frenzy" to "Tomato Crisis"

Late December 2025, Grok Undress went viral across social media.

Users simply had to @Grok on X and type "undress her" or "put her in a bikini" to edit anyone's photos. The feature sparked phenomenal attention—masses of "undress" images flooded the platform, and Grok Imagine became overnight the most talked-about AI image tool.

However, what went viral quickly came crashing down.

By mid-January 2026, under regulatory pressure, Grok rapidly tightened restrictions. Many users who subscribed to SuperGrok ($30/month) in November and December suddenly discovered: the features they paid for were barely usable anymore.

Even more absurd? Now even tomato photos get flagged as NSFW.

One Reddit user uploaded a tomato photo, asking "what's wrong with this tomato," only to receive the message: "This content has been flagged as NSFW." This isn't a joke—it's a real case that happened.

What's more surprising is that this is just the tip of the iceberg. In the past week alone, 425 paying users have been voting on whether to cancel their SuperGrok subscriptions, and a post specifically asking "are there NSFW alternatives to Grok" garnered 105 upvotes and 70 comments.

From Undress going viral to the great user exodus, what happened to Grok? Where are those "fleeing" creators going?

Grok's Struggles Aren't Isolated

We analyzed the latest week of user feedback from the Reddit community and discovered a striking pattern:

  • One user who was satisfied with NSFW features when subscribing in November now finds that approximately 50% of images are blurred or fail to generate
  • Another user tried generating "female wearing gym clothes kissing a guy"—even this non-pornographic content gets almost entirely flagged as "moderated"
  • Community sentiment has shifted from early excitement and exploration to current complaints and alternative-seeking

More importantly, Grok's exposed problems aren't just its own—they're a microcosm of the entire NSFW AI tools market. We've found that regardless of which platform they use, NSFW creators face four core pain points.

Four Pain Points: The Creator's Dilemma

Pain Point 1: Filters Like "Schrödinger's Cat"—You Never Know What Will Pass

Real feedback from Grok users:

When I subscribed to SuperGrok in November, generating soft-core adult content was fine. Now with the same prompts, over half get rejected or blurred. The product they sold me in November is not the same as what it is now.

The over-moderation is even more absurd. It creates three serious problems:

  • ⏰ Spending 80% of time on "trial and error" instead of creation: Constantly adjusting prompts, trying to bypass censorship
  • 🎲 Creation becomes gambling: Same words that worked yesterday don't work today—completely unpredictable
  • 😤 Paid subscription but can't use it reliably: Paid money but don't get the promised features

Pain Point 2: Fragmented Features—Piecing Together Multiple Tools

Even before restrictions tightened, Grok could only do basic image generation and simple image-to-video. Want more features? You need:

  • Write character settings in ChatGPT
  • Generate character images with Grok
  • Go to Runway for video animation
  • Use Descript for voiceover

4 platforms + 3 subscriptions + at least 2 hours of import/export time

Pain Point 3: Inconsistent Quality—Like Opening Blind Boxes, 8 Out of 10 Times Disappointing

Grok's video generation is only 16fps with noticeable stuttering. Prompts often get "creatively interpreted" by the AI, resulting in outputs far from expectations. Many users report needing to regenerate 20 times to get 1 satisfactory image.

I've seen ups and downs so far. At times, text-to-image-to-video (t2i2v) seems less strict, but image-to-video (i2v) is almost useless. If it gets worse I'm canceling and deleting, not wasting my time when it's already annoying as fuck.

This inconsistency leaves creators at a loss.

Pain Point 4: What Did $30 Buy? Severe Price-Value Mismatch

The core contradiction:

💰

Price: SuperGrok subscription $30/month

🎯

Promise: Spicy mode, free NSFW content creation

😡

Reality: 50% rejected, even tomatoes flagged as NSFW

Users' demands are simple: either restore functionality or drop the price to $10/month. But creators who've lost faith in Grok aren't willing to wait anymore.

It's like they advertise an ice cream cone with 2 scoops, but give you one for the price of 2 scoops.

Why Are Mainstream AI Tools "Betraying" Creators?

This isn't a technical issue—it's a business decision.

Grok Undress's viral success brought massive traffic but also attracted regulatory scrutiny. On January 14, 2026, Elon Musk announced "technical measures" to prevent editing real people's images, rapidly tightening restrictions. From viral to emergency brake—just two weeks.

For Musk, this was an inevitable choice under brand risk and regulatory pressure for the X platform as a whole. After all, from mainstream platforms' perspective, 10,000 dissatisfied creators matter far less than the risk of one regulatory penalty.

The root of the problem: Grok, Midjourney, DALL-E—these tools fundamentally weren't designed for NSFW creation. NSFW functionality is an "add-on feature" for them, not the core positioning. Once facing pressure, this segment of users gets sacrificed first.

But creators need the opposite logic: a platform that chose "creative freedom" as its core positioning from day one, not tools that constantly compromise and restrict after the fact.
