Taylor Swift accused of double standard for allegedly using AI to promote her album

Pop star Taylor Swift has been accused of using artificial intelligence (AI) to promote her new album “The Life of a Showgirl”.

The artist made a treasure hunt-style promotion that challenged fans to find 12 orange doors in 12 cities around the world. Players of the game could then scan the QR codes found there.

The codes unlocked short videos, and some of them show the hallmarks of AI.

One video pictures an Art Nouveau-style bar with a framed picture on the wall that shows a blurred depiction of a house. A book is also missing letters, and the bartender’s middle finger blends with an orange napkin that he puts on the bar.

Another QR code in Barcelona led fans to a video of a gym in a high-rise building with weights and handles that don’t quite line up.

AI being used in video is not new, as OpenAI brought out its Sora video-generator tool last year. Last week, the company said it was also launching a social media platform for users to share their AI-generated videos.

Even so, online users and Swift fans were dismayed at the singer, who has openly spoken about the dangers of AI deepfakes and AI replacing human labour and creativity.

“For someone who has made a big deal about how artists aren’t paid appropriately for like, most of her career, this is tone deaf AF,” one user wrote on Reddit.

“Nooooo, not Taylor too,” another user wrote on Reddit. “She’s too rich for this”.

Last year, users of the social media platform X shared AI-generated images of the singer purporting to show support for US President Donald Trump during his election campaign.

Baba Ijesha Regains Freedom After Appeal Court Victory (Full Text)

Published

on

 

Nollywood actor, Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has been released from prison after spending more than three years behind bars over alleged sexual assault.

The actor regained his freedom on Friday, November 14, 2025, following a decision of the Court of Appeal, which cleared him of the offences for which he was convicted.

Announcing his release, fellow actor Yomi Fabiyi said in a post on Instagram that Baba Ijesha had been “officially freed” after the appellate court overturned the earlier judgment.

Fabiyi, in a post on his social media space, said, “You are now officially FREE AND OUT. Baba Ijesha is not just back but BETTER.

“I am also happy you were cleared by the APPEAL COURT of ever having sex/defile any child/minor. The 7-year-old story is a charade. We live in a terrible world, where sentiments and wickedness rise above the rule of law and truth.

“Let it be on record that:

“1. Those that SET THE TRAP engaged in age falsification(because there was no single proof till date anywhere, not even in court that said victim was 14yrs). To me, they only weaponised abuse on child/minor to destroy a weak target and achieve vendetta.

“2. Damola Adekola(Princess Comedian ally/neighbor and Security of the house with alias Okele who sexually abused this girl since 2020 are still out there. Damola Adekola, who practically had sex, confirmed the girl was his girlfriend and was asked to walk free despite initially being arrested alongside Baba Ijesha. Make it make sense: same case, same victim, same investigation.

“3. Princess Comedian groomed the girl(minor) for sexual activities. This is coupled with negligence because sperm was found on the girl days after Baba Ijesha was arrested, and it is not for Baba Ijesha. Test conformed she recently lost her virginity then.

“4. Princess Comedian and her co-travellers engaged in CHILD PORNOGRAPHY by deliberately installing cameras on the same day Baba Ijesha was invited to act. She recorded how her foster daughter was sexually abused(THAT IS IF THE GIRL IS TRULY 14YRS).

“5. Princess Comedian subjected the girl to re-truama. She practically wants the girl to suffer PTSD just because she wants to gather evidence(THAT IS IF THE GIRL IS TRULY 14YRS). She abused the rights of the girl because she relied on her for food, shelter, and guidance.

“6. Etc

“We, as a Human Rights Organization, never and will never condone or support any form of sexual abuse, let alone on children or minors. We will continue to fight against selective justice, abuse the fundamental human rights of any persons, and fight against organised crime like in the case of Baba Ijesha.

“Prerequisites for Princess Comedian actions are errored. It has no propensity in law. Justice on two left.”
