AI-generated pornography will disrupt the adult content industry

How is this different than the status quo? Pornography is already a commoditized. I personally believe that people will pay for the parasocial interaction. Sure, AI will increase the amount of free content slop, but the amount of free content slop was already overwhelming. People will continue to pay more /because/ they imagine they have some kind of relationship with their favorite camgirl or vtuber.

I wish someone loved me so I would not be excited about this.

I also do hope that this can lead people away from (instead of deeper into) (financially) parasitic, parasocial relationships/one-sided dependencies, which seem to be common when purely profit oriented companies or humans become involved.

Free and open source seems to be the way of healthy love here.

Interesting how porn seems to run with technologically 2-3 years ahead of other “industries”. This is nice if this leads to less exploitation of humans … bad if this leads to more social isolation / depression.

Within 5 years, there will probably be an AI video generator that has been trained on pornography and can compete quality-wise with human made porn.

Within 10 years, you will have interactive AI generated VR porn where you can walk around the scene and interact with the performers.

Within 15 years, you can plug your brain into the porn matrix where you can taste, touch and smell your interactive porn.

Within 20 years, you will be a human battery for the machines.

It's a little weird that we can induce addiction remotely, through the sense of vision, using purely computational means. Maybe not as weird as memes, but close. By putting a person and a neural net in a control loop, I wonder how much you can influence, say, their hormone levels. Surely the media have been hacking fear-attention and cortisol for a long time. But what happens as this becomes even more automated? We'll be like those Australian beetles, if we aren't already.

Can AI disrupt the industry of posting about how AI will disrupt things?

Based on the hordes of AI generated models with OnlyFans profiles, it seems like it might already be having an effect. Wouldn't be surprised if it was being used for a lot of this sort of content on other sites and services too.

I imagine every second site in the future will be AI generated porn. It is going to disrupt much more.

This is already happening. I know someone who's making an adult game in Twine for fun, and they use AI images for just about everything because they're not an artist. They say while there's inconsistencies, it gives them more freedom to depict what they want without the high cost of hiring an artist for near-photo realistic digital painting. From what they've told me, they're not alone in jumping on the idea and there's a wave of Twine porn games using AI images. And some even go so far as to mix in real people with AI generated depictions of them to fill in the gaps for the desired content.

Most people would disregard such things because they're just "stupid games for perverts" and not think about the impact, but if such things get normalized in adult gaming it's bound to spread out from there. Normalization is normalization no matter where it starts from, after all. A major concern of mine is that somebody creates images for such a game, and the images and content are based on a real person that the game's creator personally knows. If the game gets traction, that person's privacy would essentially be gone, and their sense of identity would be shattered because they aren't a public figure. There have already been instances of teenagers using AI image generators to create fakes of fellow students in order to blackmail them or just enjoy for themselves.

When everybody is naked, nobody will be.

It's faaar away.

Imagine a vid generated from user's story. I and my wife would pay for that.

This article is stupid (frankly) and written from an exceptionally prejudiced porn-is-evil perspective. I’m wondering whether it qualifies for flagging.
