I don’t really understand people who pay for photos etc. I think its more than just the actual images, but actually having some sort of “relationship” or interaction with someone, even if it is transactional and based on, more or less, acting?
The future is going to get really… weird. I just hope it doesn’t lead to hurting real people, but people are terrible and will probably find a way?
I’m perversely curious what the current state of AI “porn” is - they’ve solved the extra fingers problem, but are nudes given away by supernumerary nipples* or the like?
The big AI image generators won’t allow anything risque, much less actual nudity, but actual porn is certainly in the training data (and can be seen obliquely in how clothed images of women are rendered), so…
*Edit: The question is raised: is AI porn creating digital witches?
All I know is this painting of a pipe I have really pushes all my pipe porn buttons.
If you think AI is perplexed by hands, just imagine how it will be confused by the scrotum.
I suppose for guys like that it’s that they could already just fuck a melon but it isn’t expensive enough to feel “cool” yet.
People would pay money for something as abundant as nudes on the internet? Maybe it’s their first day using a computer and they haven’t even heard of AI yet.
What are the ethics of AI porn? (something more anonymous, not “fake-celeb/person-you-know” porn which has its own separate problems)
Is it more ethical to peruse computer-generated pornography, or, er, human-derived? Specifically, considering the amount of abuse and human trafficking associated with the human pornography industry.
If I could figure out the prompt magic needed to make realistic images of people that looked like the same person from one picture to the next, I’d probably find better things to do with it than sell nudes to horny men on the Internet.
Although I guess that selling nudes would be a good way to raise funds to make and distribute my AI-generated indie movie.
I’m not sure that “Our female lead believed in our creative vision so much that she basically took up sex work to raise the money we needed to make this movie” would be a selling point, though. I’m not saying it’s never happened in the history of film, just that it’s probably better to leave that detail out of the marketing materials.
It’s a parasocial thing.
It’s not like artists haven’t been selling portraits of nude women since forever.
“Claudia is a Fraudia” in 3… 2… 1…
Yeah, some people like to support the people who provide them with pornography, in hopes of being less exploitative.
Uncanny valley girls?
That’s nowhere near as creepy as this:
If that’s the case, they must be feeling pretty betrayed. I’d hate to try to support someone trying to make a living only to find out they never existed. Maybe that money is still accomplishing that goal in the end, but the lack of transparency makes it seem less likely.
Trying to create robotic sex slaves is how we end up with Blade Runner. That’s bad.
The larger point is that reddit is fucked. Incentives + text posts + anonymous sources of any kind are just going to be swamped. Bots yelling at bots, all the way down.
Identity verification communities (of some sort) is the only game in town, going forward.
