Jenna Ortega said she deleted X, then known as Twitter, after a 'terrifying' experience encountering AI-generated pornographic images of herself on the platform when she was a minor. In an interview with The New York Times, published on Saturday, the actress, 21, reflected on how she feels about artificial intelligence. 'I hate A.I.,' she told the publication, noting that while it 'could be used for incredible things' it's also been abused by some online.
These sophisticated apps and programs that “undress” or “nudify” photos, as well as “face-swap” tools that superimpose victims’ faces onto pornographic content, have predominantly targeted women and girls. More nonconsensual sexually-explicit deepfake videos were posted online in 2023 than every other year combined, according to independent research from deepfake analyst Genevieve Oh and MyImageMyChoice, an advocacy group for deepfake victims.
