Just as we thought it was over, multiple accounts reposted the images, which made the images spread quickly, and ‘Taylor Swift AI’ became a trending topic on the application. It is still uncertain how it all started and circulated, but below are some possibilities reported.
- 404 Media reported that the Taylor Swift AI photos allegedly came from a particular Telegram community. This group reportedly consists of users that share s*xually deepfake AI images of women created in Microsoft Designer. It was also mentioned that the users simply joked about the circulating Swift AI.
- Moreover, Taylor Swift is reportedly considering taking legal action against the deepfake website. The site allegedly was used to generate the photos spread online. Artificial intelligence is a terrifying tool for people with evil intentions, and other personalities can potentially be victims like Swift. This has to be stopped immediately.
