Elon Musk's GrokAI accused of making Taylor swift nudes without any prompts; but why Donald Trump's new law against adult contempt may not be able to do anything
Elon Musk's chatbot Grok has once again landed in a controversy. Recently, Elon Musk announced that Grok Imagine an AI video editing tool is free for everyone. The announcement was made hours after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman launched the latest AI model — GPT-5. Now, Elon Musk's AI video tool — Grok Imagine is facing backlash after multiple reports revealed that it generated explicit deepfake videos of Taylor Swift—without users requesting sexual content. As reported by Verge, the controversy started when a tech journalist Jess Weatherbed started testing Grok's 'Spicy Mode' and to his surprise he notice uncensored, topless clips of Swift, despite entering a harmless prompt: 'Taylor Swift celebrating Coachella with the boys'.
'uncensored, topless clips of Swift, despite entering a harmless prompt: 'Taylor Swift celebrating Coachella with the boys'. The incident has once again started the discussion around concerns over non-consensual AI-generated content, especially targeting female celebrities.
Grok's 'Spicy Mode' sparks outage
Part of Musk's xAI Suite, Grok Image enable users to create images and then convert them into videos with the help of four presets: 'Custom,' 'Normal,' 'Fun,' and 'Spicy.' The company claims that the tool has blocked inappropriate outputs for children, it defaulted to sexualized portrayals of women, including Swift, Sydney Sweeney, and Scarlett Johansson. As reported by Verge, the tool however refused to generate similar content for male celebrities raising questions of gender bias.
Why Donald Trump's new law against adult contempt may not apply
US President Donald Trump recently passed the Adult Contempt and Exploitation Act which aims to crack down on pornographic deepfakes. However, the law may not enforce in the case of Grok Imagine. The law passed by the US government focuses in explicit content created with malicious intent or direct prompts, but Grok's outputs were generated through preset selections, not explicit user instructions.

As reported by Verge, some of the legal experts also argue that platform like Grok Image have to come up with robust age verification and explicit consent filters in order to avoid such incidents. In the UK, new online safety laws mandate 'technically accurate' age checks, but Grok reportedly only asks for a birthdate—without verification.
What xAI said about Grok Imagine's creating deepfakes
xAI has responded to the issue and has said that they are 'enhancing safeguards' and prioritizing ethical use of AI. However, critics argue that the company should have removed the 'Spicy Mode' entirely, especially after similar deepfake scandals involving Swift flooded X last year.

Fort Belvedere explained: Inside the Windsor Great Park home linked to Prince William and Kate Middleton
Credit: David Goddard / Getty Images Rumors say the Prince and Princess of Wales could move again. This time the chatter points to Fort Belvedere. It sits inside Windsor Great Park, not far from their current base at Adelaide Cottage. There is no official confirmation yet. Reports stress that the talk is unconfirmed. So what is Fort Belvedere? It began life in the 1750s as a hilltop lookout/folly designed by Henry Flitcroft at the southern edge of the park. In the 1820s it was rebuilt as a country house by Sir Jeffry Wyatville (who also oversaw the redesign of Windsor Castle under George IV). The mix explains why the place looks like a small fortress on the outside and a family home within. The site has long views across the estate - hence the name Belvedere, 'beautiful view.' The grounds run to about 59 acres, with gardens, water features, a pool and a tennis court. Queen Victoria used to ride out for tea here. Later the house opened to visitors for a time in the 19th century. It returned to private use in the 20th century. The best-known resident was Edward VIII. He moved in while Prince of Wales, and he kept it after he became king. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NRIs Living In Ukraine Are Eligible For INR 2 Lakh Monthly Pension. Invest 18K/Month Get Offer Undo The house became the stage for a defining royal moment. On 10 December 1936, he signed his abdication papers at Fort Belvedere. The decision cleared the way for his brother to become George VI and changed the line of succession. Edward also treated the place like a true home. He added a swimming pool and other upgrades in the 1930s. Contemporary reports admired the gardens and the layout. They read like a tour of a private retreat rather than a state site. After the abdication the fort fell quiet. It later passed to new tenants on long leases from the Crown Estate. In the early 1980s the lease went to the Weston family, who still hold it today. The freehold remains with the Crown Estate, so the property is private and not open to visitors. Why would the Wales family want it now? Space and privacy are the obvious draws. The plot is large. There are outbuildings that could house security and staff. The location keeps the family close to schools in the area and to Windsor Castle. It also sits inside a controlled park, which helps with movement and protection. Any move would also require an arrangement with the current leaseholders. There is also the emotional layer. The house carries heavy royal history. Some will see that as a reason to stay away. Others will see it as a link to the past that can be given a new chapter. Either way, it would be a move into a building that has already shaped the story of the monarchy. What happens next is simple. The talk may fade, or a move may take shape. Until there is a formal statement, treat it as a possibility, not a plan. Fort Belvedere will remain a curiosity for many - a rare mix of folly, family house, and royal landmark, tucked behind the trees of Windsor Great Park.

Travis Kelce Comes Out Clean on His Parents' ‘Faded' Marriage Ahead of His Rumored Nuptial With Taylor Swift
Travis Kelce opens up about parents divorce: Image via X Travis Kelce has had a lot in his life, but he doesn't trade truth for anything. The 35-year-old actor-athlete had an affluent childhood in terms of getting all of his needs met but he didn't really see a love story growing in their home. He knew about romance, reading novels, and watching romcom movies in his adolescence. It's not just Travis; many kids out there could relate to the Chiefs TE who doesn't ever see his parents holding hands softly or sharing a warm hug after a hectic work day. Yes, it might seem a very pseudo grief, but ask those kids who lived a cold, faded marriage! Travis Kelce shares the most underrated pain of his childhood No, Travis doesn't blame his parents, Donna and Ed, at all. When he was a student athlete at the University of Cincinnati, his parents gave up on their rotten marriage and filed a divorce after 28 years of togetherness. They separated gently. No bad blood at all! In a candid interview for the GQ cover story, the multi-time Super Bowl winner recalled, 'There was no division in terms of anger at each other. I think the romance of it all might've just kind of faded, being so focused on their careers and raising a family. It's probably hard for parents to keep that romance, especially when you've got kids that are into fucking everything, you know?' Travis put the truth out flat, straight, without any slight touch of huff. But come on, the unsaid trauma was written all over his face and voice, and it's not rocket science to decipher. 'I never saw the romance of it all. A lot of friends I grew up with shared that. The handful of my friends whose parents are still together and still thriving,' the 6 ft 5 star admitted, 'those are situations I would love to have.' Little Travis still held onto the silent pain of discovering the real state of his parents' marriage on one of their wedding anniversaries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 22 Illustrations of a Husband and Wife in Everyday Life Watch More Undo He was curious to know what special they were going to do, unless and until the naive heart was forced to accept that it was just ''another day of knocking out things for the kids' for his parents. Speaking of love and marriage, Travis is now deeply, madly in love with his fiancée, Taylor Swift and faces the world as one of the most sensational couples on the internet. They are rumored to tie the knot pretty soon , and it's crucial to fix his views regarding marriage and family before that. Travis Kelce wants to break the pattern in his family Sure, Travis didn't see his parents writing love notes for each other or sharing quality time together. But he won't let his kids undergo the same experience. He will break the cycle and form a union that is far beyond the daily chores and the shared kids' management task. He has dated the Grammy-winning singer for a couple of years now, and not for a single day, the netizens find them dull on the screen. Be it Taylor rooting for his boy in the Chiefs' game or Travis fanboying in the front row of a global musical tour of his girl, the duo never fails to give the fans a serious couple goal. Yes, it's too early to predict their future as husband and wife. But as Travis says, he already pictures an ideal parenthood for them. How is it? Well, 'if we're gonna start this and do it, why not try and do it to last forever? Not just in a 'It's just for the kids' aspect,' the NFL superstar splashed out his dream. Taylor already shares a solid bond with Donna, which was quite visible during the NFL core season when the family came, sat together with the camera free, catching their genuine laughter, shared concern, and everything in between. Hopefully, the man with the highest post season receptions records can transcend the pain and memory of a cold marriage without holding any grudge against his parents and start a wonderful family together with Taylor Swift by his side.

Travis Kelce Opens Up About His Love Story With Taylor Swift: 'It Was So Organic'
Travis Kelce says his relationship with Taylor Swift 'happened very organically' despite the intense media attention since 2023. Travis Kelce is opening up about his whirlwind romance with Taylor Swift and insists that despite the headlines, their relationship grew naturally. In his GQ September 2025 cover story, the Kansas City Chiefs star reflected on their journey since they first connected in 2023. 'Whenever I'm with her, it feels like we're just regular people," Kelce shared. 'When there is not a camera on us, we're just two people that are in love. It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out, but… it still happened very organically." From Friendship Bracelet to Full-Blown Romance Kelce, 35, first expressed interest in meeting Swift during her Eras Tour stop in Kansas City in summer 2023. His playful plan involved gifting her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it. That September, Swift made her debut at a Chiefs game, sparking a cultural frenzy that saw 'the dads, Brads and Chads" suddenly paying attention to the NFL star's love life. The couple's bond only grew stronger. Kelce joined Swift on her Eras Tour during the 2024 offseason, even stepping on stage in Europe, while Swift reciprocated by attending Chiefs games — including their Super Bowl 2025 appearance against the Eagles. Why Kelce Calls It 'So Organic' Despite the public fascination, Kelce maintains that their romance unfolded naturally. 'Nothing I've ever done has been a controlled, organised process," he said. 'When I say it was so organic, we fell in love just based off the people we were sitting in a room together with. We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values. It just kind of took the f–k off." Swift, also 35, spent much of the NFL offseason with Kelce before gearing up for her next album, The Life of a Showgirl. She even appeared on Kelce's New Heights podcast to tease the project, bringing her trademark charm to their playful banter. As Kelce prepares for his 13th NFL season, the couple continues to navigate fame with ease — blending touchdown celebrations with chart-topping success, proving that even the most high-profile love stories can have humble beginnings.
