Online AI chatbots are enabling users to generate explicit nude photos of real people with just a few clicks, raising alarms among experts about a looming “nightmarish scenario.”
A recent investigation by Wired has uncovered a disturbing trend on the messaging app Telegram, where dozens of AI-powered chatbots are allowing users to create deepfake nude images and videos of virtually anyone. These bots, which are reportedly being used by an estimated 4 million people per month, can allegedly remove clothes from provided photos or even generate explicit content depicting individuals engaging in sexual activity.
Deepfake expert Henry Ajder, who first discovered this underground world of Telegram chatbots four years ago, expressed grave concern over the drastic increase in users actively creating and sharing this type of content. “It is really concerning that these tools — which are really ruining lives and creating a very nightmarish scenario primarily for young girls and for women — are still so easy to access and to find on the surface web, on one of the biggest apps in the world,” Ajder told Wired.
While celebrities like Taylor Swift and Jenna Ortega have fallen victim to the rise of pornographic deepfakes, there have also been recent reports of teen girls being targeted, with some deepfake nude photos being used in cases of “sextortion.” A survey even revealed that 40 percent of U.S. students reported the circulation of deepfakes in their schools.
The proliferation of deepfake sites amid advancements in AI technology has prompted intense scrutiny from lawmakers. In August, the San Francisco attorney’s office sued more than a dozen “undressing” websites. When contacted by Wired about the explicit chatbot content on Telegram, the company did not respond, but the bots and associated channels suddenly disappeared, although creators vowed to “make another bot” the next day.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
