Not only was Grande still healing from the attack in 2017, but it is also another reminder that <strong>celebrities need to be protected.</strong> The worst-case scenario was that he could have had a weapon that would have harmed Grande and any other cast member.

He is known to gatecrash artists&#8217; stages, like <strong>Katy Perry</strong> and <strong>The Weeknd</strong>. He is now facing the harshest judgement (again, rightfully so) because he kept posting videos online with little consequence and criticism.

Men have given Grok AI a lot of power to be abusive towards women online, and nothing will change if it is not addressed.

So not only are they fueling violence towards women, but they are also contributing to the negative effects of climate change, <strong>all because they hate women</strong>.</p><div><hr></div><h2>Men Use AI To Be Locker Room Misogynists</h2><p></p><p>Men are now using Grok AI to be &#8220;high school&#8221; misogynists, meaning that they are back in the locker rooms, rating women out of 10 in the replies, after they have posted images of themselves on Twitter. Recently, a young Black model posted a screenshot of her being featured on a fashion brand website modelling a dress, and instead of complimenting her, <strong><a href="https://x.com/stillnotziora/status/1956136222205546845">men are asking AI to rate her looks out of 10</a></strong>. The replies should be shocking, but Grok AI spares her no grace, as it rates her a 3.2 out of 10, while <strong>other men make harsh comments</strong>.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://channel25.substack.com/&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe to Channel 25&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://channel25.substack.com/"><span>Subscribe to Channel 25</span></a></p><p></p><p>Many men may have graduated from high school, but <strong>they still have that locker room mentality</strong>. Thanks to AI, they can weaponise this with very little consequence at the expense of women on the platform, with zero regard for their feelings. But it is not just Grok AI that is letting men go unscathed with their misogyny.
