'The Most Dejected I’ve Ever Felt:' Harassers Made Nude AI Images of Her, Then Started an OnlyFans

Content creator Kylie Brewer discovered that harassers were using AI, possibly leveraging xAI's Grok image generator which produced millions of sexualized images, to create nude deepfakes of her. These images were then used to set up an OnlyFans account charging a subscription fee, an experience Brewer described as the "most dejected" she has ever felt. Brewer, who focuses on feminism and history, is accustomed to online harassment but viewed this as a severe escalation, noting that one AI image was based on a swimsuit photo where clothing was removed and features were distorted. She emphasized that the lack of control and fear associated with synthetic abuse imagery is deeply damaging, even if the pictures are not real, and noted that logging off is not an option as her income depends on her online presence. The article highlights the ongoing struggle to combat non-consensual deepfakes, mentioning recent but potentially insufficient legislation like the TAKE IT DOWN Act and the pending DEFIANCE Act, while victims like Brewer feel a profound sense of lost privacy and protection online.
