Twitter Bobbi Althoff Video, Bobbi Althoff Video Reddit [Watch]

When AI-generated pornography started flooding message boards with posters featuring comedian Bobbie Althoff's deepfake videos, the clips silently reached audiences comparatively. In the past six months alone, they garnered 178,000 views.

Then, someone posted X's videos on an X-rated platform. The clip, depicting a 26-year-old engaged in nudity and masturbation, was copied and reposted so many times that Althoff's name became synonymous with the platform. Within just nine hours, the clip garnered over 4.5 million views—25 times more than the viewership of porn sites, according to an art analyst's data.

X, previously known by a Twitter handle, was among the first social platforms to set clear rules against AI-generated fakes, with executives stating in 2020 they recognized the danger of "synthetic media" and were "committed to getting it right."

However, under owner Elon Mask, X emerged as the most potent and specialized distribution channels for non-consensual deepfake pornography. While the platform not only aids in viralizing counterfeit photos and videos in a less restricted environment, it may also incentivize deepfake spreaders who could use manipulated porn for financial gain.

"Twitter is 4chan 2," says Genevieve Oh, an analyst studying deepfakes, citing the non-rule message board, known solely for hosting deepfake porn, also familiar to shooters for its anti-Semitic memes and expressions of worship. "It encourages future degraded statistics that are even more popular among artificial footage and aligns more with the denigration of women."

There's no federal law regulating deepfakes, though some states, like Georgia and Virginia, prohibit AI-generated non-consensual porn.

X has banned "non-consensual nudity," but enforcement has been limited as the company, under Mask's direction, has laid off thousands of employees and disbanded the "Trust and Safety" team that traditionally removed such images.

Cautious discussions about the content have ceased. A day before Althoff's video spread, they shared a message from X's chatbot, Grok, characterizing moderation as a "digital sobriety belt" and branding content moderation as merely a "horse's harness for digital abusers."

"Let's give a big middle finger to content moderation and align internet distractions!" the post said.

X did not respond to a request for comment.

X's failure to halt deepfakes was highlighted last month when AI-generated sex images of pop star Taylor Swift went viral on the platform, racking up millions of views. In an unusual move, the company blocked searches for Swift's name.

However, Althoff's case shows the company is grappling with the problem. The most popular posts, guided towards viewers' videos, have been online for over 30 hours.

Another post, promising to "send everyone who likes and comments a complete Bobbie Althoff leak," was online for 20 hours—after commenting on The Washington Post's hoax, X removed it. At the time of removal, the video post had been seen over five million times.

Althoff, a content creator known for light TikTok videos about parenting and pregnancy last year, has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, where she has interviewed celebrities like Drake and Shaquille O'Neal.

Althoff's representatives did not respond to requests for comment. On Wednesday, she went to Instagram, sharing a screenshot of X's trending list with her name and commenting, "100% not me and definitely AI-generated."

"I was like, 'What... is this?'" she said in the video. "I didn't realize it was actual people believing in me."

According to a screenshot of X's trending data, her name was found in over 17,000 posts. These topics were once filtered by a "curation team" that eliminated aggressive tendencies. Under Mask's supervision, X has sidelined them as well.

X is the sole mainstream social platform that allows nudity, explicit content, and dissenting opinions to decide between genuine content and counterfeit ones for monetary transactions, reserved for the remaining moderators responsible for decision-making.

However, the company incentivizes virality through a portion of their ad revenue, along with offering financial compensation to accounts with high viewership. Many posters on X, who shared the Althoff clip, have been flagged with a blue checkmark, indicating their eligibility for compensation.

Numerous X posters who shared the Althoff video mentioned it as a real "leaked" sexual scene or contacted others to share the video, increasing their engagement.

Deepfakes are created using artificial intelligence to digitally superimpose someone's face onto another body. Hollywood actresses, online creators, members of congress, and teenagers whose photos have been taken from social media have been used year after year to deceive, manipulate, and objectify women and girls without clothes.

Platforms like Deepfake Forum, along with platforms like Telegram, have emerged as common spaces for creating photos and videos. Some users even request money to add a specific face to a clear scene.

A copycat Althoff video producer offered to sell its 20-minute version for $10 on a deepfake forum, payable through PayPal, according to a review by The Post. (One version of the list has been viewed 60,000 times in the last four months.)

To attract attention outside the message board, some deepfake producers have transferred their content to X, where they hope to sell more clips or capture more viewers of the mainstream. Some Swift and Althoff nets were even posted on platforms like Instagram and Reddit, but they attracted only a fraction of the audience there and were quickly removed.

To replace X's moderators, Masks have often been directed towards "community notes" where volunteers can give advice on comments that - with enough approval votes - will appear in specific tweets. However, many posts with counterfeit Althoff videos lack such notes, and some notes are not seen hours after the video goes viral. Notes do nothing to prevent clipping, sharing, or saving a clip.

A community note was included in a post-Wednesday evening that the video was AI-generated and was "spread for awareness and income on Twitter." The author of the original post - which advises followers to search for the "leaked" video in "hidden" replies - later wrote a comment: "If you see it, I'm sorry."

However, the account did not delete the original post, and many X users shared it freely with their own followers. After 24 hours, the original post has been viewed over 20 million times and received 29,000 likes.
