The misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) is a growing problem, and Taylor Swift is the latest victim.
An explicit AI-generated photo of "Moldy" went viral on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) a few days ago, and the situation was so serious that the platform eventually blocked the search for her. Officials said it was a "temporary move" to prioritize security.
The posts and accounts that shared these AI** were tagged and reported by Swift's fans, who also responded by posting her real **and** on the platform, and launched a hot search for "Protect Taylor Swift". It's unclear exactly when X started blocking searches for mold, or whether the ** has done similar things with other public figures or terms in the past.
In addition, the issue has also caught the attention of the White House, which has called the spread of AI-generated** "concerning." In response, a White House spokesman said, "We know that lax enforcement disproportionately affects women and, sadly, girls as well, [because] they are the primary target."
The spokesperson also added that there should be legislation to address the misuse of AI technology on social networks and that platforms should also take their own measures to ban such content on their platforms. Mold is also considering using legal means to deal with the malicious production and dissemination of insults related to her online**.
