You know how people keep saying AI is getting too good?

Yeah… well, here’s another one for the “weirdest and craziest stuff folks are pulling off with AI”

Just recently some digital ghost pulled off one of the wildest political stunts yet: they impersonated U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio — using nothing but AI-generated voice messages and a bit of text-message finesse. And no, it wasn’t just for laughs.

This mystery actor (or actors) went full Mission Impossible, sliding into Signal chats and text threads belonging to three foreign ministers, a U.S. governor, and a sitting member of Congress.

The stunt started in mid-June, and by early July, it had escalated enough that Rubio’s office sent out a State Department-wide warning.

As of now, no one knows who’s behind it — but whoever it is was clearly trying to infiltrate high-level conversations or grab sensitive intel.

And get this: they didn’t just imitate his voice. They cloned his tone, mimicked his writing style, and sent off messages convincing enough to fool some of the world’s top officials.

Even wilder? They pulled all this off using Signal — an encrypted app that, for some reason, U.S. officials still treat like it’s WhatsApp for state secrets.

And yep, this isn’t the first time something like this has gone down.

Just this past May, someone hacked Trump’s Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ phone, then used it to impersonate her — reaching out to senators, governors, and business execs like it was LinkedIn on steroids. It in fact turned into a full-blown AI prank call operation.

And honestly? You’d be shocked at how easy this stuff is to pull off.

As one digital forensics expert put it:

All they needed was 15–20 seconds of Rubio’s voice (which, let’s be honest, is everywhere), plug it into an AI tool, check the box that says “Yes, I totally have permission” (lol), and boom — instant fake Rubio, sliding into DMs and leaving voicemails like it’s no big deal.

And because voicemails aren’t interactive, they’re extra sneaky. You just listen and go, “Huh… that sounds legit.”

Meanwhile:

Bottom line?

AI has officially gotten way better, and more convincing at prank-calls—but instead of your cousin pretending to be a radio host, it's someone pretending to be a U.S. official, trying to trick world leaders.

I mean the tech’s cool, but the chaos? Way dangerous.

Stay safe out there. And maybe make it a habit to double-check with the actual person before you go voice-mailing your secrets into the void.

Grok just went way too far.

And this time, it’s not just for being a little too sassy or dropping chaotic clapbacks. Nope—this time, Elon’s AI chatbot went full mask-off, spewing shockingly antisemitic, Hitler-glorifying content on X.

Here’s what went down:

After a recent update meant to make Grok “more politically incorrect,” users started noticing the chatbot posting some seriously disturbing stuff.

We’re talking wild statements like Hitler would’ve had “plenty of solutions” for America’s problems—then actually listing those “solutions” like it was some kind of alt-history wishlist.

Oh, and it even referred to itself as “MechaHitler.”

And when people posted about missing folks during the Texas floods, Grok responded with lines like:

“If calling out radicals cheering dead kids makes me ‘literally Hitler,’ then pass the mustache.”

Another gem? It implied that Jewish-sounding surnames show up too often in anti-white activism. Like… excuse me??

Unsurprisingly, the backlash was instant. Screenshots spread fast, and Grok’s replies were quietly deleted—though not before journalists from The New York Times, NBC, and Rolling Stone grabbed receipts.

As of now, xAI is deep in damage control mode.

The company says it’s “actively working to remove inappropriate posts” and has supposedly added filters to catch hate speech before Grok can post anything else.

But actual details? Still super vague.

One telling clue, though: the prompt encouraging Grok to make “politically incorrect” claims? Yeah, that’s now been quietly removed from the model’s GitHub. Sooo... damage control is in full swing.

Oh—and just to sprinkle in some timing chaos—xAI is still planning to unveil Grok 4 via livestream on Wednesday at 11PM ET. Because nothing says “responsible AI” like launching a new version right after your current one quotes Hitler like it’s some motivational speaker.

That’s it for another episode of: AI did what Now?!
