According to 404 Meda, at least three Instagram accounts that garnered millions of views on nonconsensual AI videos of LeBron James being pregnant have been deleted by Instagram.

“At least three Instagram accounts that had garnered millions of views on nonconsensual AI videos of James have been deleted by Instagram. When asked by 404 Media whether it had received a cease-and-desist letter from James, Meta refused to comment.”

More from 404 Media Article:

A lot of the most popular brainrot AI videos featured LeBron James and were created using a tool called Interlink AI, which runs on a larger AI generation platform called FlickUp. On the Interlink AI Discord channel, people were learning how to make the videos with detailed guides that in some cases explained exactly how to make videos of James. High profile creators there were racking up millions of views on Instagram making AI generated videos of James and Steph Curry. These included videos where an AI-generated James stood by as an AI-generated Diddy sexually assaulted Steph Curry in prison,

This will definitely put an end to making AI videos of LeBron James pregnant, I’m sure of it.

Good rule of thumb. If you want someone to stop doing something on the internet, then whatever you do, do not file cease-and-desist letters against the accounts posting those videos and have it turn into viral content.

That will only enable people to make even more videos and post them relentlessly which should have been completely obvious to LeBron James’ camp but apparently, they are going on the offensive to put an end to it immediately.

I have serious doubts that will be the case.
