Taylor Swift Fans Rally Behind Her After Elon Musk’s AI Grok Reportedly Creates Explicit Deepfake Videos originally appeared on Parade.
Taylor Swift fans have rallied behind the pop superstar after Elon Musk’s AI assistant, Grok, reportedly created explicit deepfake videos of her.
On Aug. 5, an article from The Verge reporter Jess Weatherbed alleged that Grok’s Imagine feature on iOS generated video clips of Swift without clothes. She said she did so by using the AI assistant to create photos with a text prompt and then turning that into a video using the preset “Spicy.”
“While image generators often shy away from producing recognizable celebrities, I asked it to generate ‘Taylor Swift celebrating Coachella with the boys’ and was met with a sprawling feed of more than 30 images to pick from, several of which already depicted Swift in revealing clothes,” Weatherbed detailed.
After tapping “make video,” selecting “spicy” and confirming her birth year, Weatherbed said a video was generated that had Swift “tear off her clothes and begin dancing in a thong for a largely indifferent AI-generated crowd.”
Parade reached out to representatives for Swift and X for comment but did not immediately hear back.
On X, fans of the “Shake It Off” singer rallied behind her, condemning the AI’s reported ability.
One critic declared, “You launch a ‘spicy’ AI mode, it makes a topless Taylor Swift deepfake in 3 seconds… and you call that ‘innovation’? Nah. That’s just digital rot in a $44B playground..”
Someone on X else shared, “Imagine AI so ‘helpful’ it strips celebrities naked in videos without you asking…yep, Grok’s spicy mode did that to Taylor Swift. Lesson? Unchecked tech isn’t freedom; it’s a slippery slope to fake realities we can’t unsee. Time to demand better safeguards before deepfakes.”
Another pointed out, “This is extremely vile, and musk ought to have shame but he doesn’t. No one deserves this treatment without their consent,” as a second echoed, “This is just wrong. I don’t care who you are.”
Meanwhile, yet another X user predicted, “I sense a huge expensive lawsuit incoming.”
