Taylor Swift considering legal action over prngraphic AI images
Pop sensation Taylor Swift finds herself at the center of a disturbing controversy involving X-rated, AI-generated images that have been making rounds on social media platforms.
According to a report by The Verge, one such image garnered a staggering 45 million views before the account responsible was suspended.
Swift’s AI images labelled as ‘abusive’
Sources close to the situation reveal that Taylor Swift is not taking this violation lightly and is contemplating legal action against those behind the circulation of these graphic images.
An insider told the Daily Mail, “Whether or not legal action will be taken is being decided, but there is one thing that is clear: These fake, AI-generated images are abusive, offensive, exploitative and done without Taylor’s consent and/or knowledge.”
The disturbing images, known as “deepfakes,” portrayed the “Love Story” singer in various explicit and offensive poses at a Kansas City Chiefs game, where her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, plays.
While Taylor Swift has maintained silence on the scandal, her loyal fan base, affectionately known as Swifties, has taken to social media to express their support and condemn the inappropriate use of AI technology.
The hashtag “Protect Taylor Swift” trended on the platform, with fans fiercely defending their idol.
One fan’s tweet captured the sentiment: “people sharing the ai pics are sick and disgusting. protect Taylor Swift at all costs.”
Others directed their anger toward those who re-shared the images, emphasizing the need for stricter legislation to prevent such incidents in the future.
AI-generated scandals taking over celebrity world
The disturbing trend of celebrities being targeted by AI technology is not new.
Last year, deepfake photos of Pope Francis and a viral image of former President Donald Trump facing police arrest circulated, illustrating the potential dangers of this technology.
The blogosphere has witnessed similar incidents involving other celebrities, such as Scarlett Johansson and Cardi B, who took legal action against the unauthorized use of AI-generated content.
Scarlett Johansson’s attorney, Kevin Yorn, emphasized the seriousness of such actions, stating, “Per our usual course of action in these circumstances, we will deal with it with all legal remedies that we will have.”
Despite celebrities standing up against these violations, the prevalence of AI and deepfake controversies persists.
Taylor Swift’s situation raises questions about the urgent need for legal measures to protect individuals from the misuse of AI technology.
As Scarlett Johansson aptly pointed out, the fight for one’s image in the vast expanse of the internet is a challenging one.
It remains to be seen whether Taylor Swift will take legal steps against those responsible for the controversy and contribute to the ongoing battle against the darker aspects of AI.
