📌 TOPINDIATOURS Hot ai: Grok Is Being Used to Depict Horrific Violence Against Rea

Earlier this week, a troubling trend emerged on X-formerly-Twitter as people started asking Elon Musk’s chatbot Grok to unclothe images of real people. This resulted in a wave of nonconsensual pornographic images flooding the largely unmoderated social media site, with some of the sexualized images even depicting minors.

In addition to the sexual imagery of underage girls, the women depicted in Grok-generated nonconsensual porn range from some who appear to be private citizens to a slew of celebrities, from famous actresses to the First Lady of the United States. And somehow, that was only the tip of the iceberg.

When we dug through this content, we noticed another stomach-churning variation of the trend: Grok, at the request of users, altering images to depict real women being sexually abused, humiliated, hurt, and even killed.

Much of this material was directed at online models and sex workers, who already face a disproportionately high risk of violence and homicide.

One of the disturbing Grok-generated images we reviewed depicted a widely-followed model restrained in the trunk of a vehicle, sitting on a blue tarp next to shovel — insinuating that she was on her way to being murdered.

Other AI images involved people specifically asking Grok to put women in scenarios where they were obviously being assaulted, which was made clear by users requesting that the chatbot make the women “look scared.” Some users asked for humiliating phrases to be written on women’s bodies, while others asked Grok to give women visible injuries like black eyes and bruises. Many Grok-generated images involved women being put into restraints against their will. At least one user asked Grok to create incestuous pornography, to which the chatbot readily complied.

That a social media-infused chatbot could so readily transform into a nonconsensual porn machine to create unwanted and even violent images of real women at scale is, on its face, deeply unsettling. Even worse was that the creators of these images often seemed to be treating the action like a game or meme, with an air of laughter and detachment.

That nonchalance may speak to a normalization of this kind of nonconsensual content, which before had largely been relegated to darker corners if the internet. Women and girls, meanwhile, continue to face the real-world harm wrought by nonconsensual deepfakes, which are easier than ever to generate thanks to AI-powered “nudify” tools — and, apparently, multibillion-dollar chatbots.

We’ve reached out to xAI for comment, but haven’t received any reply.

But yesterday, Musk, who owns both X and xAI, took to the social media platform to ask netizens to “please help us make Grok as perfect as possible.”

“Your support,” he added, “is much appreciated.”

📌 TOPINDIATOURS Update ai: Tesla bites the dust as BYD overtakes it as the world’s

Chinese automaker BYD has overtaken Tesla to become the world’s largest seller of electric vehicles on a calendar-year basis, marking a major shift in the global EV market.

BYD said on Thursday that sales of its battery-powered vehicles rose nearly 28 percent in 2025 to 2.26 million units.

The figure puts the Chinese company ahead of Tesla, which reported global deliveries of 1.64 million vehicles for the year.

Tesla confirmed the delivery numbers on Friday, in line with a company-compiled estimate of around 1.6 million vehicles.

The result represents an annual decline of roughly 8 percent from 2024, marking Tesla’s second consecutive year of falling deliveries.

A decade-old dismissal

The milestone underscores BYD’s rapid ascent from a regional EV maker to a global industry leader, fueled by aggressive pricing, a broad product lineup, and strong domestic demand in China.

It also highlights mounting pressure on Tesla as competition intensifies, particularly from Chinese manufacturers expanding across Asia, Europe, and emerging markets.

The contrast is striking given Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s public dismissal of BYD more than a decade ago.

During a Bloomberg TV interview in October 2011, Musk laughed when asked about BYD as a potential rival, saying, “I don’t think they have a great product.”

Tesla’s challenges in 2025 extended beyond annual totals. The company reported fourth-quarter deliveries that were about 16 percent lower than the same period in 2024, when it delivered 495,570 vehicles.

Tesla does not precisely define deliveries in its shareholder communications, though the metric is widely treated as a proxy for sales.

BYD’s growth, meanwhile, reflects its vertically integrated strategy, including in-house battery production and a heavy focus on affordability.

The company has steadily expanded its footprint outside China, while maintaining strong momentum at home.

Pressure mounts on Tesla

Tesla has endured a volatile year. Its shares tumbled in the first quarter of 2025 amid slowing EV demand, increased competition, and reputational fallout tied to Musk’s political rhetoric.

Investor concerns grew as Chinese automakers gained market share and price competition intensified.

The stock rebounded sharply in recent months, however, closing at a record $489.88 last month.

The rally followed Musk’s claims that Tesla has been testing fully driverless vehicles in Austin, Texas, without safety drivers on board, nearly six months after launching an earlier pilot program that included human supervision.

Despite the stock’s recovery, Tesla’s delivery slump highlights a growing gap between investor optimism around autonomous driving and the company’s core EV sales performance.

BYD’s rise to the top of global EV sales suggests that scale, cost control, and market execution are increasingly defining leadership in the electric vehicle industry.
