One of the most famous people right now is Taylor Swift. While her success has brought her fame and wealth, it has also given her headaches, like the unsettling AI-generated photos that have been making the rounds online for days.Swiftie Taylor at the Golden Globes
The photos primarily feature the singer in overly sexualized settings, with an emphasis on her current romance with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
The pictures allegedly originated on the notorious porn site Celeb Jihad before making their way to social media, according to press reports. These photographs have been making the rounds on Instagram and X for a few days now, and the singer’s legion of devoted followers is going ballistic.
A rallying cry for swifties
Many people have taken to social media to voice their disgust at the photos. The question of how this is not deemed sexual assault is posed by one of the most articulate. Am I the only one who finds this strange and unsettling?
Finally, it says, “We are talking about a woman’s body and face being utilized for something she probably would never allow or feel comfortable with. Why aren’t there any rules or statutes that forbid this?
A third person made a strong request: “I’m gonna need the entire adult Swiftie community to log into Twitter, search the term ‘Taylor Swift AI,’ click the media tab, and report every single AI-generated pornographic photo of Taylor that they can see because I’m f*cking done with this BS.” Elon, get your act together!
Additionally, someone else voiced the opinion that “whoever is making this garbage needs to be arrested,” indicating that they were not alone. My god, what I witnessed is so disgusting that it ought to be criminalized. The safety of women must be ensured in situations like these.
The United States of America has laws regarding this.
Despite the absence of federal regulation, certain states have passed legislation prohibiting what is commonly referred to as deepfake pornography. These include Georgia, Hawaii, Virginia, New York, Minnesota, and Texas. Defamation lawsuits can be filed by victims in the states of Illinois and California.
Social media platforms including Instagram, Reddit, 4Chan, and X have been inundated with the deluge of photos, while the notorious site that generated them remains operational despite persistent criticism from NGOs and advocates for women’s rights.
There has been no reaction on the current intrusion from Swift or her team. Additionally, the social media platforms where the photographs have been shared have not commented on the problem, so we will just have to watch how this topic unfolds.
