A disturbing new trend online is the proliferation of fake AI-generated pornographic images of famous celebrities or quasi-famous social media influencers.

The latest victim of this trend was Bobbi Althoff, a podcast host who has gone viral for her emotionless interviews with celebrities, especially rap artists such as Drake, Lil Yachty, and Offset. What purported to be “leaked” images of Althoff pushed her name to the list of trending topics on X, even as it was pointed out that the images were AI-generated fakes.
