Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, is going through a firestorm this week due to AI-created pictures of Taylor Swift.
Fake pornographic photos of Taylor Swift, created with artificial intelligence, were circulating on X, leading her dedicated army of fans to find out who was responsible for it.
AI images are pictures generated through artificial intelligence software using a text prompt. This can be done without a person’s consent and currently, there are zero laws protecting anybody from it.
Among the AI images of Swift being shared are some of her posing in a sexual way while attending a game at Arrowhead Stadium. She has attended several NFL matches this season amid her romance with Travis Kelce, but she only does so while in the comfort of a site.
Twitter user “Zvbear” has ben trending for the better part of 48 hours after Swift fans found he was responsible for the photos being created and shared.
It has gotten so bad that this situation is actually being talked about on CNN and in the White House.
According to Marca, ZvBear is short for Zubear Abdi. He is a 27-year-old Somalian citizen living in Ontario, Canada.
He is very active online and is known for championing his love for White women. Now, his undoing will be by the very demographic that he puts on a pedestal.
As soon as the internet sleuths and Swifties identified ZvBear as the person behind Taylor Swift’s explicit AI pictures, he began facing severe backlash.
ZvBear has over 83,000 followers and would likely have more but has since made his account private due to a barrage of Swift fans trying to get him kicked off the site among other things.
This situation will serve as a good lesson for anybody who thinks they can share fake sexual photos of somebody and not face backlash for it. It’s just a matter of time before the law catches up with the times.
