Recently, a disturbing phenomenon has emerged on Instagram—a bunch of AI-generated fake accounts are aggressively harvesting traffic. Their methods are particularly outrageous: using AI technology to create fake nude photos of celebrities like James, Dwayne Johnson, and Tyson, attracting users with these vulgar contents, then directing them to certain adult platforms with looser regulations on AI-generated content for monetization.

This operation has been ongoing since late 2025. The tactics are basically the same: first, AI-generated intimate photos of celebrities with captions like "Story begins"; followed by scenes of the two in minimal clothing, sweating profusely. Such provocative content easily exploits algorithm loopholes, bypasses platform reviews, and naturally generates staggering amounts of traffic.

The core issue is—this is not technological innovation at all, but simply the sale of celebrity likeness rights. The fabricated celebrities have no awareness or consent; their images are being exploited by unscrupulous accounts for profit. As for the platforms, they either can't control it or pretend not to see. The regulatory loopholes are enormous. Although the crypto industry has been advocating for freedom in recent years, this kind of unscrupulous content monetization is no longer a technical issue but an ethical one.
