The images aren’t generated by the LLM part of Grok, they’re generated by a diffusion image model which the LLM is enabled to prompt.

And of course they can create things that don’t exist in the training set. That’s how you get videos of animals playing instruments and doing Fortnite dances and building houses, or slugs with the face of a cat, or fake doorbell camera videos of people getting sucked into tornadoes. These are all brand new brainrot that definitely did not exist in the training set.
