If you happened to scroll through social network X (formerly Twitter, of course) in the last few days, you may have come across a rather strange trend.
At best, you may have just come across the phrase "Taylor Swift AI", and at worst, you may have been exposed to the horrific and graphic images of the singer
Taylor Swift
, which, despite being completely fake, still managed to drive the web crazy.
The photos, created as mentioned using artificial intelligence technology, presented the star in a variety of provocative and offensive poses against the background of a game of the Kansas City Chiefs football team, in which her partner
Travis Kelsey
plays .
Although the images themselves have since taken off from X, the internet never forgets and they continued to run on other sites, some popular like Reddit, and some quite obscure.
The one who was least connected to the "hot trend" is its star, who according to the reports on the various gossip sites is "furious" about the photos and is considering her steps.
In a report that appeared in the Daily Mail, a source told the site that: "Whether legal action will be taken or not has not yet been decided, but one thing is clear: these fake images, created by artificial intelligence, are offensive, exploitative and were made without Taylor's consent and/or knowledge," he added The source: "The Twitter account that posted them no longer exists. It's shocking that the social media platform even let them go up in the first place."

Swift is not the first star to fall victim to the phenomenon of photo fakery and since she herself has not yet responded to the storm, her cult of fans, known as "Swifties", have already gone on the attack.
Besides making sure that the photos are removed wherever they go, they made sure to spread the phrase Protect Taylor Swift as a viral trend in addition to posting positive posts that lift Swift up.
The phrase calling to protect the singer, by the way, is connected to another frightening case that happened to her this week after a strange man was arrested outside her apartment three times in five days.
And what about the creators of the photos?
One of them is a user named Zvbear, who quickly understood the wave he created and wrote in the post he published: "My post about Taylor went viral and now everyone is posting it."
In a tweet he later published, he wrote: "Dude what did I do... Maybe they will pass new laws because of my post about Taylor Swift. If Netflix makes a documentary about artificial intelligence images they will put me in it as a villain."
Since then he managed to make his account private.
Walla!
Celebs are preparing for the day when videos from the security cameras of the McDonald's branch that recorded her getting angry after she didn't get enough ketchup with her meal will be distributed online.
