Not to oversimplify, but: IF there is ambiguity around whether the mere generation of sexualised deepfakes is illegal, a one-line amendment to Coco’s Law would fix it. Stipulate for the avoidance of doubt that intimate images include artificial likenesses. Then Grok cannot transmit any such material
