Microsoft AI tools generate explicit Taylor Swift images on Twitter

Sexually explicit AI-generated images of Taylor Swift went viral on Twitter after being created using Microsoft's text-to-image AI generator. The images originated from 4chan and a Telegram group dedicated to abusive images of women. Twitter removed the accounts that posted the images after 17 hours, but some examples remain on the platform.
