Nudes and porn are very different things. Also the answer is yes, there are people who actually give a shit about who they marry / date / hire for work

> there are people who actually give a shit about who they marry / date / hire for work So are those who are not offended that their employee did some nude modeling or sex work are... careless or inconsiderate in some way? Should hiring or dating include some kind of background check based on puritanical definitions of "moral character"? Perhaps people who think that way should wear some kind of scarlet letter. That…

I don't know what ,,should'' happen, there have been many firing because of sex work related reasons.

Also those background checks won't be the official reason these people won't get hired, it's always easy to create an alternative reason, just how it works with agism, sexism and racism.

I'm gonna ask something awful, but isn't this the end of child porn? It's sad but isn't it the least painful option? I wish it would then lead the people that need mental health to a professional, hell, couldn't we engineer an ai that progressively guides their misguided patterns to an acceptable level? (assuming such a thing exists)

No. Creating child porn, be it drawings, written, or AI is illegal. (even though no real person was involved at any stage). Buying a sex doll with proportions that are closer to a child than an adult is also illegal. Given that some sex dolls are partial. (not the entire legs for example) the difference can get murky My references here are to Norwgian law.

In the US this is not true.

> I am very worried tbh. Currently, it took a couple hundred dollars and a week to generate that porn, because the artist has to work with special models and do a lot of manual iterations, inpainting, etc, before it becomes even passable, and then even more iterations to make it almost flawless. But I think it's only a matter of time before this becomes automated. > And then I'll probably overdose and fry my brains o…

Tbh this reads like a comment from somebody who never visited a red light district, not tried a lot of MDMA and neither saw top quality AI porn. If this is true, why do you think your recommendation holds any value? I can totally feel the parent poster. This is not about sex per se, this is about absolute sexual beauty that is quite hard to find even in the top secret VIP escort salons, not even talking about the pro…

If you are looking for "absolute sexual beauty", how about searching a partner that you love and care about instead of in "top secret VIP escort salons".

To be honest, I kinda feel AI porn is actually more ethical than the current porn industry. Much like written or drawn porn, it does not rely on the objectification of actual people. Instead it can fill a niche without hurting anyone. There is the problem of it replacing real jobs, but this is not unique to the field. The main problem, in my eyes, is AI porn that mimics real people. This is the main place I'd like to…

I agree with the core sentiment, but not the "without hurting anyone" part. Porn addiction (and its consequences) has been the elephant in the room for a while.

Porn has been around for generations.

I am addicted to (human) pornography and when I first heard about AI porn, I vowed to myself to never watch it, because I knew it would be like heroin on steroids to my brain. Welp, curiosity got the better of me, and I gave in and decided to check it out, but not the anime type that the Techcrunch article seems to have as pixelated examples. Instead, I ordered some photorealistic AI porn from an artist and it was...…

In near future we will all work for AI and AI will pay us in custom-generated porn.

I don't think most porn stars care about getting rejected by FAANG

If they cared about their reputation, they wouldn't be porn stars

Pics or STFU. Seriously, though, you could post a screenshot of one those fake 10/10 faces you are talking about. You're already anonymous. Otherwise, I don't buy this. If what you say is true, that better-than-real porn can be produced for $200, then porn stars will all be redundant within a year. I think that would be a good thing, as many porn stars are victims of abuse. Although I think more harm will be done to…

10/10 like anime woman, not photorealistic.

No. The real stuff will just fetch a premium.
