Taylor Swift AI images prompt US bill to tackle nonconsensual, sexual deepfakes
theguardian.com

A bipartisan group of US senators introduced a bill Tuesday that would criminalize the spread of nonconsensual, sexualized images generated by artificial intelligence. The measure comes in direct response to the proliferation of pornographic AI-made images of Taylor Swift on X, formerly Twitter, in recent days.

The measure would allow victims depicted in nude or sexually explicit “digital forgeries” to seek a civil penalty against “individuals who produced or possessed the forgery with intent to distribute it” or anyone who received the material knowing it was not made with consent. Dick Durbin, the US Senate majority whip, and senators Lindsey Graham, Amy Klobuchar and Josh Hawley are behind the bill, known as the Disrupt Explicit Forged Images and Non-Consensual Edits Act of 2024, or the “Defiance Act.”

Those might be the least inspired deepfakes ive ever seen

Yeah these are so boring that for fun I’m going to immediately assume this is some sort of conspiracy to control AI

Those were less NSFW than I thought they'd be. Most other AI celebrity stuff I've seen has been way more explicit, and It's just stuff I've come across on lemmy etc.

THAT'S IT?! this is no worse than if an artist drew lewd pictures of someone.

I just read those articles and I can confirm those photos were not photoshopped and are indeed deep fakes. Nothing really groundbreaking or earthshattering though.
