Warning over “terrifying” realistic Taylor Swift AI filter going viral

nme.com:

Taylor Swift AI filter has gone viral online.The warning was shared by Danae Mercer, a mum, journalist and ambassador for the National Eating Disorder Association.Showing how the filter instantly allowed her to change her face to look remarkably like Swift’s, she warned parents: “The technology used here is only going to get exponentially smarter.

If you have even a little glimmer of ‘hmm, that doesn’t look like a real person’, give it a year, give it five months.“We need to be informed, we need to be aware, and we need to figure out ways to protect our little ones, because they are growing up in this strange, strange world.”She added: “Oh my gosh I’m worried.

Because this tech is going to become impossible to spot. Today, here, I can make myself look like Taylor Swift. Tomorrow, who knows what is possible.”See her post below, along with other examples of the filter and fan reactions.A post shared by Danae Mercer Ricci (@danaemercer)Had to play with that #TaylorSwift filter… lol. #HoisttheColors pic.twitter.com/k5UjT9Hvuh— Yoshi Vu (@VuYoshi) January 22, 2024I did use the Taylor Swift face filter and I wish like anything I could apologize to her for doing so.
