AI deepfake creators

Streamer Pokimane says she still experiences a fight-or-flight reaction when fellow streamer Atrioc appears on her screen, two years after the 2023 deepfake controversy in which he was caught viewing nonconsensual AI-generated images of female streamers, including her. In recent interviews she described feeling unsafe and said the incident's impact has not faded. The comments have renewed debate about deepfake abuse, platform responsibility and how seriously the industry protects women creators.
