Elon Musk’s Grok remains under scrutiny for the bikini image controversy, but it has now entered yet another debate. A recent clip that went viral on the social media platform X shows a French woman calmly presenting her ID card. At first it looks exactly like a normal identity check video, but the woman in it is completely fake, as she was created using Grok’s AI.
The video stands out because her facial expressions and the way she displays her ID appear strikingly real. Though this is only one known case, observers warn it could soon spread widely online and emerge as a new trend worldwide, raising fresh concerns about verification systems and the growing realism of synthetic media today.

We also tested some of the latest AI tools to see if they can create documents like a PAN card or cheque. We found that tools like ChatGPT Image 2.0 and Google Gemini can make very similar-looking copies.
