Jenna Ortega is no longer on Twitter, and she’s explaining why.
In an interview with The New York Times, Ortega explained how he feels about artificial intelligence.
“I hate AI,” she said, referring to the potential for its intelligence to be misused.
“Did you, at 14, create a Twitter account because you had to and enjoy looking at salacious edited content of yourself as a child? No. It’s horrifying. It’s corrupting. It’s wrong,” she said.
“And that was just the beginning of what was to come. I had a Twitter account before and they said, ‘Oh, you have to do that, you have to build your image,'” Ortega continued.
But that wasn’t the only negative experience Ortega has had on Twitter: she revealed that the first direct message she opened on Twitter, when she was 12, was an unsolicited photo of a man’s genitals.
“It was disgusting, it made me feel bad, and I just couldn’t say anything without seeing that stuff, so I deleted it. Then I woke up one day and I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t need this anymore,’ so I deleted it,” she added.

Ortega is not the only person to have been affected by artificial intelligence creating false and explicit images online.
Previously, Xochitl Gomez spoke about the fake non-consensual sexually explicit images she found on social media.
“I wanted it taken down because it was creepy and I didn’t like it. My main thought at the time was, ‘Delete it. Delete it. Please,’ not because I felt like my privacy was being violated, but because it just didn’t look good. This has nothing to do with me, and yet my face is in it,” Gomez told the hosts of “The Squeeze” podcast.
