    I don’t see a solution to this one and we’re just going to have to live with people making pictures of whatever they want. It’s not like TS can stop me making an oil painting of her humping a dolphin or whatever.

      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.

                  I think I figured it out. You try to take this weird moral high ground over somebody correcting your misinformed comment on a forum because you jack off to Taylor Swift deepfakes and feel really bad about it.

                  Idk that’s the best I can come up with for why this upsets you so much

      Do people actually enjoy seeing those pictures? I can sort of understand generating them for shock value, but finding them erotic or pleasing??

        Well uh, yes. Its the internet, there are sites where people devote massive time and energy to discussing the wankability but also canonical accuracy of depictions of ‘what if 14 year old anime girl characters actually had penises that are canonically accurate and true to the art style as well’.

        At least one person is into the weirdest shit you can imagine.

        There was at one point a group of people who filmed themselves putting fleshlights in car exhausts and fucking them, then this got even more weird and people seemingly seriously said they had actual sexual attraction to vehicles, then people started fucking the exhaust pipes with no fleshlights, then someone , possibly multiple people actually seriously injured themselves this way.

        And also yes to shock value, now that 4chan is involved, its more or less ‘this is funny because it will very likely make someone angry, and also theres no real way this sort of thing can be prevented, here, lets prove it’.

        I have stared into the void, it has stared back into me, and destroyed all nearly all notions commonly assumed to define reason and humanity.

        Do not do as I have done.

          “There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe weirdest shit you can imagine is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

          There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”

          There was another, way funnier phase when guys just taped them into the exhaust and started up the car to see them get crazy blown out. Worth a watch if you haven’t seen just how stretchy these things are, but now I’m scared to search for “fleshlight in car exhaust”

            Not sure of the timeline, but yes I remember that.

            I would not be surprised if something like 2% of the people who saw that were aroused enough or bored enough to… take the next step, leading to the … autophilia stuff.

            Ugh.

    I miss the days when 4chan was good.

    Okay that’s not right, 4chan was never good. I miss the days when it was bad, but it wasn’t a cesspit of sociopath trolls trying harder to outtroll other trolls and society at large.

    If it isn’t real then what’s the point? It’s no longer Taylor Swift. I guess if you use your imagination real hard it might work.

    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 know I’m confused as I took it as being facetious. Then again there are people that believe weird stuff like that. Maybe I was just being generous and giving them the benefit of the doubt? Or maybe they’re just trolling. 🤔

          I mean I actually think it’s an astute point behind the satire. The challenge probably did start on 4chan because of the hubbub going on around the conspiracy theory, if not by someone who actually believes it. Seems weird to downvote just because someone references that theory though.

        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.

    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.
