Fans of Taylor Swift are going mad as AI-generated pictures of the singer are circulating on the internet. Lately, AI-generated content has been a topic of great controversy. Several renowned personalities like Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, and Pope Francis have been victims of AI controversy. The Swifties are infuriated after the Blank Space singer becomes the latest victim of the infamous trend.
AI or Artificial Intelligence has made several aspects of our daily life easy. However, we have witnessed several dangerous effects of the technology recently. From snatching numerous jobs from ordinary people to the controversial use of deep fakes, AI has been a notorious menace, especially for celebrities.
Taylor Swift has been the latest target of dirty AI pictures
Taylor Swift is currently one of the biggest names on the internet. The singer has a massive fanbase worldwide, and Swifties can go to any extent for their idol. The fans are wildly infuriated as some fake AI-generated NSFW pictures of the Bad Blood singer have taken over the internet.
Swifties have been outraged by the photos and have filled X (formerly Twitter) with pictures from her Eras Tour to raise voices against the offensive images. They have also urged the singer to take legal action and give a lesson to the culprit. In the past, we have seen several celebrities take legal action for unfair usage of Artificial Intelligence.
According to Variety, last year, Scarlett Johansson also took legal action against an AI app, Lisa AI, that stole her likeness without any consent for their advertisement. The presently deleted advertisement stole a small clip from behind-the-scene footage of Black Widow and used a fake voice imitating her to promote the app.
Scarlett Johansson’s attorney, Kevin Yorn, did not take the situation lightly and publicly stated- “Per our usual course of action in these circumstances, we will deal with it with all legal remedies that we will have.” Swifties have also urged Taylor Swift to tackle the situation legally and put the culprit behind bars.
Cardi B also sued a troll for unfair use of AI
Cardi B was also embroiled in an AI controversy when an individual used fake images and AI audio of her former husband, Offset, to claim that the latter was cheating behind her back. The WAP fame took to a now-deleted Twitter voice note to threaten the user with legal action.
According to TMZ, Cardi B openly told the user that she would take legal action against the games being played with AI.
“All these little games that you guys want to play online, it’s going to be over with. You’re going to be getting sued, and we’re going to make an example out of you. Yeah, and that was a terrible AI voice, by the way.”

Sadly, although numerous people have taken action against these individuals, there has not been much progress. Unfair usage of AI and deep fake controversies are still prevalent and have haunted uncountable people around the globe. Scarlett Johansson (via Washington Post) has also claimed it to be a useless pursuit as the internet is a vast wormhole of darkness.
The Black Widow star said that no matter how demeaning it is, the victims have to fight for their own image. It will be seen if Taylor Swift takes any legal steps and reaches to the source of the controversy.
