A woman on TikTok said she paid an artificial intelligence program to generate professional images of herself, but the longer she looked at the final products, the stranger they seemed.
Lensa AI has been going viral since it was launched. The cool magical avatars have been flooding social media sites and have taken the internet by storm. However, there are massive ethical and legal questions that surround the ease with which the images of self and others can be morphed to create what techies are calling "soft porn".
