Imagine v0.9 is now available as Grok's video generation feature and is available to all users, including free users.
Grok's video generation feature includes a 'Spicy' mode, which allows it to generate content that would be blocked by Google or OpenAI video generation AI.
Grok's AI 'Imagine' has a 'spicy' feature that can actively generate regulated content such as pornography, and deep fakes of celebrities have been created, causing problems - GIGAZINE

Spicy mode is still available in Imagine v0.9, and X has reported being able to generate videos that are 'sexy without being too erotic.'
