White House calls explicit AI-generated Taylor Swift images 'alarming,' urges Congress to act
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about the viral AI-generated explicit photos of Taylor Swift sparking outrage among her fans.
But this is nothing new? People have been using photoshop for this purpose for a long time…

The crappy Photoshop fakes of eons past were never particularly voluminous nor prolific
Yeah. I feel like there's a real lack of discussion about where the dividing line should be on the issue. How different from just imagining it is it, really? Nobody's saying your dirty mind should be banned.
Now, if you actually send this shit to Taylor Swift, that 100% should be criminal.
There's been so much talk about this, that I unfortunately now want to see the pictures and see what all the fuss is about
They are lurid but low quality and would be difficult but not impossible to mistake for actual photographs. They seem to be relying on football-themed body paint to work around the image generators safety features that prevent nudes from being produced. Somewhat convincing nipples and/or buttocks are sometimes visible, suggestive facial expressions, posture and positioning with other figures do most of the heavy lifting in producing these "erotic" images but I've seen nothing beyond that. It's more nude caricature than pornography. They are more than a little goofy looking.
Honestly, I keep hearing about them and now I want to see them. As I don't use mainstream social media, it's hard. It's like being on Linux and wanting to know about a virus that every Windows user was getting.
