A Guardian analysis shows millions on Telegram have created and shared AI-generated nude images, with at least 150 channels worldwide offering nudification services or nude feeds, making graphic content easily accessible and scalable. Telegram says such material violates its rules and has removed more than 952,000 pieces of offending material in 2025; meanwhile nudification apps with AI tech have hundreds of millions of downloads on Google Play and Apple App Store. The report links AI-enabled abuse to a broader rise in online violence against women, highlights regulatory gaps in many countries, and describes real-world harms for victims including reputational damage, job loss, and ostracism.

Reporter Spencer Buell verified the stunt by meeting Alex Feldman (Alex the Jester), who demonstrated the unicycle snow-shoveling in person, confirming the feat is human. The piece highlights how advances in AI can blur the line between real footage and manufactured content and the importance of verification for viral clips.
