'Repulsive!' Sexual AI generated photos of Taylor Swift taking the internet by storm, sparking widespread outrage

Anger is quickly rising over the proliferation on X of fake, sexually explicit images of Taylor Swift showing her in provocative positions.

“The images in question, known as 'deepfakes,' show Swift in various sexual positions at a Kansas City Chiefs game, a nod to her highly publicized romance with the team's tight end Travis Kelce “, according to New York Post.

“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” , the Post reported early Thursday.

The images have sparked massive outrage from Swift's fans, not to mention nearly every woman online.

Below is a small sample of the reaction:

These images of Taylor Swift should be classified as a form of sexual assault, I think it's time for lawmakers to start creating laws to regulate AI before it's too late.

No one deserves to have AI sex photos posted on the internet!!! I really wish people would stop to think about how they would feel if someone did the same to them and the repercussions of their actions before doing things like this.

Alas pornography (most of which is non-consensual) is horrible and disgusting, the only “silver lining” Taylor Swift has going for her is that she likely has enough power to pass legislation to remove it. you are sick

I can't respect Taylor Swift as an individual for her choices as an individual, but it's also important to understand that AI images of this nature are literally sexually assaultive and violently misogynistic. this cannot and should not happen to any woman

“Taylor Swift is a multi-millionaire, she'll be fine” THAT DOESN'T MEAN SHE CAN POST SEXUAL PICTURES OF HER AS FANTASTIC, SHE'S STILL HUMAN WITH FEELINGS

The outrage has led to a campaign, centered around the words “Protect Taylor Swift,” to get everyone to report the original account that started posting sexually explicit AI images of Swift.

“The backlash led to the suspension of an X account that shared the images, but not before dozens of other accounts began sharing them,” he said. daily mail has confirmed

Meanwhile, Swift's die-hard fans are now pointing fire at X owner Elon Musk, demanding that all accounts sharing sexually explicit images of Swift's AI be permanently suspended.

Look at:

To all Swifties and all @taylorswift13 fans, I urge you all to bomb @elonmusk with demands that X clean up and remove all AI images of Taylor Swift. This is absolutely unacceptable. We must demand that he clean it up. There is straight pornography here. unacceptable

— VICKI SALVADOR (@VickiSalvador) January 25, 2024

Taylor Swift's AI photos are absolutely DISGUSTING.

People who spread them should lose access @elonmusk .

I am
Not even a quick one. I am a woman and this is pure violation. It's harassment.

Repulsive! We need protection against this. I would even say it is VIOLATION!

hey @elonmusk, just a friendly reminder about the potential risks of AI, especially in generating explicit content. As a visionary leader, your platforms have a big impact: urging a proactive approach to addressing and curbing AI-generated adult content would be a positive step. pic.twitter.com/jbugnIwnls

In accordance with The VirginSwift fans have also “responded by flooding the hashtags used to circulate the images with messages that instead promote real clips of Swift acting to hide the explicit fakes.”

As The Verge pointed out, this whole fiasco speaks to the “very real challenge” of stopping AI-generated pornography of real people.

“Some AI image generators have restrictions that prevent nude, pornographic and photorealistic images of celebrities from being produced, but many others do not explicitly offer this service,” the outlet notes.

“The responsibility to prevent false images from being spread often rests with social platforms, something that can be difficult to do under the best of circumstances and even more difficult for a company like X that has emptied its moderation capabilities.”
