Jenna Ortega Opens Up About Deleting Twitter After Receiving AI-Generated Explicit Images Of Herself

Jenna Ortega, the rising star known for her roles in Beetlejuice and Netflix's Wednesday, recently revealed that she deleted her Twitter account after receiving disturbing AI-generated messages. Speaking to The New York Times ahead of her upcoming projects, Ortega reflected on the challenges of growing up in the spotlight and navigating her identity as a young woman in Hollywood.

While discussing her forthcoming project, an adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Klara and the Sun directed by Taika Waititi, Ortega expressed her concerns about artificial intelligence. 바카라�I hate AI,바카라� she said. 바카라�I mean, here바카라�s the thing: AI could be used for incredible things.

I think I saw something the other day where they were saying that artificial intelligence was able to detect breast cancer four years before it progressed. That바카라�s beautiful. Let바카라�s keep it to that. Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It바카라�s terrifying. It바카라�s corrupt. It바카라�s wrong.바카라�

The Scream star further shared a disturbing memory from her early years on social media. 바카라�The first DM I opened by myself at age 12 was an unsolicited photo of a man바카라�s genitals, and that was just the beginning of what was to come,바카라� she revealed.

As Ortega바카라�s career grew, so did the volume of unwanted content. 바카라�I used to have that Twitter account and I was told that, 바카라�Oh, you got to do it, you got to build your image.바카라� I ended up deleting it about two, three years ago because the influx after the show had come out 바카라� these absurd images and photos, and I already was in a confused state that I just deleted it,바카라� she explained.

바카라�It was disgusting, and it made me feel bad. It made me feel uncomfortable. Anyway, that바카라�s why I deleted it, because I couldn바카라�t say anything without seeing something like that. So one day I just woke up, and I thought, 바카라�Oh, I don바카라�t need this anymore.바카라� So I dropped it,바카라� Ortega added.

The problem of AI-generated explicit content, also known as deepfake pornography, has become a significant issue, particularly for women. According to The Washington Post, the barrier to creating realistic AI porn is lower than ever, making it easier for individuals, including celebrities like Taylor Swift, to be targeted and harassed. Despite the growing concerns, laws regulating AI usage have lagged behind the advancements in technology.
