How does this affect real women on OF? Will they lose business?

They will lose a lot, because real women on OF are predatory, and extract money from desperate men. Why pay for that when you can have basically the same thing for cheap/free?

And tailor them to exactly what you want them to say, do, and how to look.

Hell, just a couple minutes on a Teams or Zoom call and I not only have your physical features but I can also clone your voice.

Wow. This is by far the creepiest comment I've read on HN.

You're very naive if you don't think his scenario is playing out all over the internet as we speak. It will blow up into a nightmare scenario for a lot of people very quickly once the tech gets better.

I don't believe I said that.

Why don't you go out and simply hook up with a nice and willing woman, instead of spending effort to automate your Fleshlight?

Lol I can appreciate the comment and concern. I am roleplaying a creeper, I am a parent of two teenage girls and have seen some of their friends go through some nightmarish scenarios.

"Simply?" Most men don't find that they can simply go and do that. Porn is the "simple" answer. And it's addictive.

One can only hope. While I think prostitution should be destigmatized, normalizing it is incredibly damaging. I understand that most people won't discern or weigh the distinction here, but I feel it is important and pretty well studied at this point.

Ye. Is there a "Not my daughter" variant of Nimby I can use?

I think the point is more "not my son (should use these services)" than "not my daughter (should provide these services)."

Provided, a woman does it safely, and can partition their emotions well, I don't think individual women are really harmed by, for example, running an only fans account. I think the male population is massively harmed by substituting bought commodified sexual attention/stimulation for genuine companionship with a woman.

Sure. But is OF really used as substitute though? Isn't it just interactive porn?

exactly.. Porn is entertainment, not education.

Hopefully. The first actual victim of AI job displacement: Sex workers. Freaking hilarious.

they're already switching to automation and outsourcing.
