Taylor Swift and the estate of the late George Carlin are both at the center of respective battles in which artificial intelligence was used to recreate their likenesses.

NBC News reported that sites like X have been known to be slow to take down sexually explicit deepfakes, but in this case, the images were eventually removed because of a mass-reporting campaign spearheaded by Swift's fans.
