    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Graphika researchers—who study how communities are manipulated online—traced the fake Swift images to a 4chan message board that’s “increasingly” dedicated to posting “offensive” AI-generated content, The New York Times reported.

    Fans of the message board take part in daily challenges, Graphika reported, sharing tips to bypass AI image generator filters and showing no signs of stopping their game any time soon.

    “While viral pornographic pictures of Taylor Swift have brought mainstream attention to the issue of AI-generated non-consensual intimate images, she is far from the only victim," López G. said.

    Rather than expecting platforms to chase down the harmful content, López G. recommended that AI companies should get ahead of the problem, taking responsibility for outputs by paying attention to evolving tactics of toxic online communities reporting precisely how they’re getting around safeguards.

    “These images originated from a community of people motivated by the ‘challenge’ of circumventing the safeguards of generative AI products, and new restrictions are seen as just another obstacle to ‘defeat,’” López G. said.

    Experts told The Times that 4chan users were likely motivated to participate in these challenges for bragging rights and to “feel connected to a wider community.”

      What if I want to make pornographic images of myself? What if Taylor Swift wants to?

      The software is out there already, the images are life-like, and the models run offline. There’s absolutely no way of recorking that bottle now.

    Is all this Taylor Swift content atm a not-so-subtle response to her rigging the Superbowl so she can endorse Joe Biden?

      It’s quite impressive how many people seem to think you actually believe she is rigging the superbowl to endorse Biden, rather than just referring to that batshit theory to make a sane point.

        I actually believe she’s going to announce her own candidacy and do a “Taylor’s Version” of the Constitution that technically allows each of her “eras” to serve for two terms. This is all made very clear by the Easter Eggs in her Instagram account.

      American right wingers really do amaze me with their conspiracies.

      From mind control vaccines, to Jewish space lasers, to Hillary Clinton running paedo rings in caverns underneath pizza shops, to Taylor Swift rigging some sports event in a way that (somehow) endorses Biden?

        Hey you leave Jewish space lasers out of this! We need more Jewish space lasers.

          I don’t know about that. I wouldn’t want Palestine to suffer the Meridian treatment.

      You can find TS NSFW images pretty easily. I searched to find some and see what the hubbub was all about and frankly it’s just the same old porn stills. It doesn’t matter that it has TS’s face on it. I guess some people get off on that sort of fantasy, but I was not impressed, but then that sort of stuff really doesn’t do much for me anyway.

      E: I’m not kink shaming. IMO people getting off on the fact that it was done is pretty lame.

        “I spent hours scouring the deep web for Taylor swift nudes but I def don’t get off on that. Some guys do I hear, though. Gross, right?”

          This comment just shows how hilariously out of your element you are lmaooo. Imagine, first of all, thinking that the deep web is the dark web, secondly that you need to access the dark web in order to find deep fakes (Are you blind?)

          I honestly couldn’t care less about this and think deepfake porn is not a good thing but like… it’s out there and it’s incredibly easy to find.

          You could literally go search “Taylor Swift deepfake porn” on Google and find it first result lmao

              Defensive for saying you’re wrong? OK :)

              I literally verified my comment in 22 seconds by looking up the exact search term I gave you.

              What’s the deep web? You seem really educated about it from your willingness to use the term.
