I'd imagine the boss might not take to kindly to posting the AI deepfakes of Taylor Swift getting gangbanged by five black guys but here's the image that might offend Swift the most.

New York CNN — Pornographic, AI-generated images of the world’s most famous star spread across social media this week, underscoring the damaging potential posed by mainstream artificial intelligence technology: its ability to create convincingly real and damaging images.
The fake images of Taylor Swift were predominantly circulating on social media site X, previously known as Twitter. The photos – which show the singer in sexually suggestive and explicit positions – were viewed tens of millions of times before being removed from social platforms. But nothing on the internet is truly gone forever, and they will undoubtedly continue to be shared on other, less regulated channels.
Swift’s spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.
Like most major social media platforms, X’s policies ban the sharing of “synthetic, manipulated, or out-of-context media that may deceive or confuse people and lead to harm.”
The company did not respond to CNN’s request for comment.
The incident comes as the United States heads into a presidential election year, and concerns are growing about how misleading AI-generated images and videos could be used to head up disinformation efforts and ultimately disrupt the vote.
“This is a prime example of the ways in which AI is being unleashed for a lot of nefarious reasons without enough guardrails in place to protect the public square,” Ben Decker, who runs Memetica, a digital investigations agency, told CNN.
Decker said the exploitation of generative AI tools to create potentially harmful content targeting all types of public figures is increasing quickly and spreading faster than ever across social media.
“The social media companies don’t really have effective plans in place to necessarily monitor the content,” he said.
X, for example, has largely gutted its content moderation team and relies on automated systems and user reporting.

“Surveillance” videos, voice synthesizers...
I hope for a global EMP. Then I can finally become Lord Humungus.
LOL! X-rated chatrooms like “Chaturbate” and such.
I never thought about it but this sounds about right!
Lawsuits will not be enough. We are going to need serious prison time. I’d be happy to use the death penalty.
I suspect AI will get to the point very quickly that all nude or semi-nude images can be automatically blocked.
We may reach the point at which no likeness of any person can be posted online without the express, verified consented the person depicted.
The internet would still exist but it would be the domain of words, charts and graphs, and streamed, copyrighted and secure content.
Social media as we have come to know it would be destroyed. Which might be a good thing.
Did they put her face on some pictures of Miley Cyrus taken on stage?
They don’t need AI to hookerize Madonna.
There have been photoshops of the same type of things floating around for ages.
For a long time it has been inevitable that any public figure had to expect that they were going to wind up depicted in some type of generated porn.
There are all kinds of weirdos out there so it could literally be even the public figures that most people think are far too repulsive to even consider imagining.
Someone that knows that they are someone that many people might want to see could put them out there themselves. If its inevitable and it can generate even more publicity then there are those that will do it.
Just about all of them, the entertainers and their industry get rich from destroying our female children and they fret that some of their trashiness won’t be properly licensed for profitability?
CNN is also disinformation.

You cat would know it, when she sees it.
Now the video of Biden spit-roasting live babies in the Rose Garden...that would be very believable. Here he is shopping for dinner.
Yes, sadly.
And I’m glad for that.
Yep. If this isn’t another sign of Jesus’ imminent return, I don’t know what is. Evil is so prevalent.
Most are juvenile, some are definitely not.
“The human race is about at its end. And the speed at which the fall is happening is hyperbolic.”
Things are certainly coming to a head. The outcome of the Texas border crisis going on right now could be the tipping point.
Yep, not that it’s totally new — always been around in some form — but the ubiquitousness of the in-your-face graphic images and the practical impossibility of protecting children from them is qualitatively and quantitatively different and signals a new and intensified era of evil.
