Shitty companies are selling AI editing tools explicitly for this purpose. Their ads are all over Instagram. They've been found in supposedly regulated app stores. Yet, I've never seen anyone report on this trash industry.
There is no stopping the existence of these tools when running on local hardware, but it shouldn't be this easy for teenagers. Somehow these companies manage to make money while real sex workers find themselves shoved into platforms like OnlyFans because no credit card company will process their payments. That's the wrong way around!
404media is doing excellent work on tracking the non-consentual porn market and technology. Unfortunately, you don't really see the larger, more mainstream outlets giving it the same attention beyond its effect on Taylor Swift.
