Recently, pictures or videos of "Sun Wukong and White Bone Demon kissing" appeared on many social media platforms, but these contents were synthesized by AI software. AI technology could use image synthesis and video editing functions to forcefully piece together such an absurd and bizarre picture of mythical characters who originally had no emotional entanglements and belonged to both good and evil. This kind of behavior of using classic characters to synthesize spoof and vulgar content attracted people's attention to copyright, portrait rights, legitimacy, and moral bottom line issues. It was also suspected of violating the portrait rights and reputation rights of others (if it involved the combination of real people). It also desecrated classic cultural symbols, misled the values and aesthetic orientation of young people, and had a bad impact on social ethos and cultural values.
