The noise around AI has never been louder, and for once it isn’t coming from tech evangelists but from the people being burned by it. Paris Hilton has been one of the most vocal critics, calling deepfake pornography an epidemic and describing it as a new form of victimisation targeting women and girls at scale.
Her warning lands at a moment when trust in AI tools is already wobbling, especially after the recent backlash against Grok X, whose safeguards against generating explicit deepfakes were reportedly easy to bypass. The conversation is no longer theoretical; it’s happening in real time, to real people, and the consequences are deeply personal.
Even the home of .ai hasn’t escaped the fallout. Anguilla’s own Farrah Banks recently revealed that a video of her had been doctored and circulated without her consent, a violation made worse by the speed and ease with which AI tools can fabricate convincing fakes. The site that posted the manipulated clip, diamondjackets.com, has since removed the video or gone offline entirely, but the damage was already done.
In the comments beneath her post, Anguilla Focus Magazine added that their logo had been stolen and used by someone leveraging AI—another reminder that the technology doesn’t just target individuals; it erodes the integrity of brands, media, and public trust. So the question becomes unavoidable: is AI a hit or a miss? Right now, it feels like both.

The technology itself isn’t inherently malicious—its misuse is. But that nuance doesn’t comfort the people whose faces, voices, or reputations are being hijacked.

AI can be extraordinary when used responsibly, yet catastrophically harmful when placed in the wrong hands. The real issue isn’t the code; it’s the culture around it, the lack of accountability, and the speed at which bad actors can weaponise it.
