As the tech and government worlds try to respond, the Taylor Swift universe is seething over deepfake images of the pop singer that emerged on Social media last week.
By NBC’s count, images of Swift in graphic poses were viewed more than 27 million times after first being posted to X.
“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 Daily Mail quoted a source close to Swift, who has been in the spotlight for dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, as saying.
“It is shocking that the Social media platform even let them be up to begin with. These images must be removed from everywhere they exist and should not be promoted by anyone,” the source said.
“Taylor’s circle of family and friends are furious, as are her fans obviously. They have the right to be, and every woman should be. The door needs to be shut on this. Legislation needs to be passed to prevent this and laws must be enacted,” the source said.
