Jenna Ortega<\/a> didn’t mince words about her feelings towards AI. \u201cI hate AI,\u201d she stated bluntly. While acknowledging its potential for good, particularly in medicine, Ortega shared her unsettling experiences with the technology.<\/p>\nJenna Ortega, known for her roles in horror shows like Wednesday<\/strong><\/em> and movies such as Scream<\/em> and X<\/em>, has always been drawn to the spooky side of entertainment. However, the young actress has faced a different kind of fear since becoming famous as a child star on the Disney Channel \u2013 one that stems from artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\u201cDid I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It’s terrifying. It’s corrupt. It’s wrong. It’s disgusting,\u201d Ortega revealed, highlighting the dark side of AI in social media.<\/p>\nAmerican actress Jenna Ortega arrives at the Critics Choice Associations 2nd Annual Celebration Of Latino Cinema And Television held at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel on November 13, 2022 in Century City, Los Angeles, California, United States.

Her first experience was shocking and inappropriate for her age.<\/p>\n\u201cThe first [direct message] I ever opened myself when I was 12 was an unsolicited photo of a man’s genitals. And that was just the beginning of what was to come,\u201d she shared. Even more disturbing, Ortega mentioned receiving AI-generated child pornography of herself.<\/p>\n
The pressure to maintain an online presence for career reasons led to more unpleasant experiences. \u201cI used to have that Twitter account and I was told that, \u2018Oh, you got to do it, you got to build your image.’ I ended up deleting it about two to three years ago because the influx after the show [Wednesday<\/em>] had come out, of these absurd images and photos, which is so repulsive, and I already was in a confused state that I just deleted it because it was unnecessary, and I didn’t need that.\u201d<\/p>\nJenna Ortega at the Miller’s Girl World Premiere \u2013 PSIFF at the Mary Pickford Theater on January 11, 2024 in Cathedral City, CA.

The show’s popularity, particularly a viral dance scene featuring Ortega, intensified her online presence.<\/p>\nNow 21, Ortega reflected on her past use of Twitter (now X) for sharing political and personal views. However, the onslaught of disturbing content eventually led her to abandon the platform.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then I was grated with this stuff and it’s just disgusting,\u201d she explained, adding that the content made her feel \u201cbad\u201d and \u201cuncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\nAmerican actress Jenna Ortega wearing Versace arrives at the World Premiere Of Netflix’s \u2018Wednesday’ Season 1 held at the Hollywood American Legion Post 43 at Hollywood Legion Theater on November 16, 2022 in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, United States.

\u201cI deleted it because I couldn’t post without seeing such content. I didn’t need that daily exposure. One day, I just woke up and thought, \u2018I don’t need this anymore.’ So I let it go,\u201d Ortega explained.<\/p>\n
Ortega mentions she’s learning self-protection strategies. She still maintains an Instagram account.<\/p>\n
