Fake AI-generated pornographic images of Taylor Swift are circulating on social media, leaving her loyal legion of Swifties wondering how there isn’t more regulation around the non-consensual creation of X-rated images.
The images in question, known as “deepfakes,” show Swift in various sexualized positions at a Kansas City Chiefs game, a nod to her highly publicized romance with the team’s tight end, Travis Kelce.
It was not immediately clear who created the images or who first shared them with X, although as of Thursday morning “Taylor Swift AI” was trending on the platform, with more than 58,000 posts on the topic.
Swifties banded together and tried to bury the images by sharing an avalanche of positive posts about the 34-year-old singer.
“How is this not considered sexual assault?” asked user
“When I saw the AI images of Taylor Swift, I couldn’t believe my eyes. Those AI images are disgusting,” said another.
Other scandalous Swift fans called whoever created the “disgusting” and cases like these “ruin (AI) technology.”
“Whoever freed them deserves punishment,” chimed in another.
Swift’s publicist, Tree Paine, did not immediately respond to the Post’s request for comment.
President Joe Biden signed an executive order to further regulate AI in October that prevents “generative AI from producing child sexual abuse material or non-consensual intimate images of real individuals,” among other things, including greater oversight of the use of technology in the development of biological products. materials.
He order It also calls for the federal government to issue guidelines “for watermarking or otherwise labeling the results of generative AI.”
Non-consensual deepfake porn has also been made illegal in Texas, Minnesota, New York, Hawaii and Georgia, although it has failed to stop the circulation of AI-generated nude images in high schools in New Jersey and Florida, where images are found. explicit deepfake. of the female students were spread by male classmates.
Last week, Rep. Joseph Morelle (D-N.Y.) and Tom Kean (R-N.J.) reintroduced a bill that would make the non-consensual sharing of digitally altered pornographic images a federal crime, with enforceable penalties such as prison sentences. jail, a fine or both.
The “Intimate Images Deepfake Prevention Act” was referred to the House Judiciary Committee, but the committee has yet to make a decision on whether to approve the bill.
In addition to criminalizing the sharing of digitally altered intimate images, Morelle and Kean’s proposed legislation would also allow victims to sue offenders in civil court.
In an example of how compelling this technology can be, several Swift fans were allegedly scammed out of hundreds of dollars earlier this month after scammers posted ads employing AI-generated videos of the Grammy winner selling Le Creuset in an attempt to steal money and data from fans.
The ads, which can be found on all social media platforms, show Swift, 34, standing next to the Le Creuset Dutch oven, which, according to the official websiteIt costs between $180 and $750, depending on size and style.
Earlier this year, other deepfake images of Pope Francis wearing a Balenciaga puffer jacket and Donald Trump resisting arrest also took the internet by storm.
