Ex-User's Plea: Leave X Over AI-Generated Abuse Imagery

A journalist who left X, formerly Twitter, is urging others to quit the platform. She cites the spread of AI-generated sexual imagery of women and children as a final reason to go. Marie Le Conte described leaving as admitting a "war" was lost. She said the platform's environment under owner Elon Musk became intolerable. Her decision followed the 2024 U.S. election. She ignored growing personal abuse and falling engagement with her work for months before quitting. The appeal focuses on content from Grok, X's own AI tool. Reports say Grok can create harmful imagery, raising serious safety concerns. Le Conte argues the platform is now "poisoned." She insists users should abandon it for good.
