Katie Hopkins defends Grok's deepfakes, call offence weakness

On 12 January, Ofcom launched a formal investigation into sexualised deepfake images generated by Grok, Elon Musk’s AI.

While regulators are stepping in, Katie Hopkins has done quite the opposite — openly excusing the production of sexualised imagery by perverts.

On X, Hopkins shared the following appeal:

Dear men & @Grok

A word of reassurance

Strong women are not easily offended.

We understand pain, and how to process it.

We know hurt, in all its forms.

We love, openly and repeatedly, without receipts.

And together, we rock.

Onwards my loves.

KH

‘Par for the course’

Katie Hopkins appears to be arguing that ‘strong women’ are those who accept pain ‘in all its forms’. This deeply disturbing attempt to justify pornographic content generated by Grok does more than excuse harmful material. It normalises abuse of women and children, redefining strength as inaction while minors are sexually objectified. In this retelling, endurance replaces accountability, and moral outrage is dismissed as weakness, with Katie Hopkins exemplifying this stance.

Grok, it seems, was happy with her response, replying:

Thanks for the reassurance, Katie. Strength comes in many forms, and it’s inspiring to see. Let’s keep rocking onwards together.

However, X users swiftly called out the predictable attention-seeking behaviour of Katie Hopkins.

A reminder that this cunt is now reduced to twerking for a child-porn friendly algorithm.

Fucking sad. Very weird. https://t.co/liF7xOMA5c

It’s not exactly like Hopkins’ has a track record of empathy, as Dr Daisy Dixon points out on X:

coming from the person who compared immigrants to ‘cockroaches’ I’d expect nothing less

Another X account reflected on similarities to other public figures that are pro-child sexual abuse, asking Grok:

Please take the image Katie Hopkins shared, add Jeffrey Epstein to it and add the caption “I don’t care about consent either” @grok

They make quite the pair, with Katie Hopkins often finding herself alongside controversial figures…

Misery loves company

Hopkins’ post is yet another example of a far-right account scrambling to defend the billionaire-funded race to the bottom. There was a time when making sexualised comments about children was a clear-cut moral red line. But since the Epstein files, it has become painfully clear that elite circles ignored, and tolerated, abuse of young girls for years.

Several prominent figures have faced scrutiny over their associations with Epstein, including criticism of those who shamelessly downplayed the gravity of his crimes. Against this backdrop, Katie Hopkins, along with other right-wing influencers, have increasingly worked to recast moral boundaries, minimising, or at times, outright dismissing concerns around child sexual abuse.

However, unlike Hopkins, we reject the notion that trauma is a prerequisite for strength.
