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)

It has been argued that YouTube does this in reverse, so probably.

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...…

This is what terrifies me most about AI’s insane growth now. Not the risk of it destroying creative jobs. The risk of it giving us exactly what we want to always perfectly stimulate our brains and shortcut our pleasure pathways. Smartphones in our hands is already putting boredom at risk of extinction. Where humanity will go when we can be exposed to unchallenging content that is precisely what we want 24/7, adapt to…

That sounds great actually. Reality is overrated.

I welcome the future where humans have become obsolete.

It’s not awful because it has been addressed before. Sure, if you can create child porn at your demand there’s no reason to go look for the real thing, at least in theory. There are a couple of problems though. How would the model be trained? It has to process child faces. This is a huge red flag by itself. The second problem is that it might get more people addicted to child porn. If it becomes so easy to access who…

Would you similarly argue gay porn is likely to make more people gay?

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…

Porn actors may feel differently if it’s their jobs/livelihoods at stake.

There are a small handful of true career porn stars, most do their stint and get out within a couple of years

,,putting women in the porn industry out of a job'' Sounds like a great thing. The industry is getting 18 year old women who don't have experience in managing money to sell their body for a few thousand dollars to be shown forever, then their porn value drops dramatically fast.

Sounds like you have direct experience here.

No because unfortunately Patreon, like every other service, is forced to use Mastercard and Visa who have decided they are the arbiters of morality in our society.

I believe it’s less morality and more these adult markets have a much greater level of risk involved. Loads more disputes, etc.

The issue has never been that the adult industry balked at dispute fees. PSD2 enforced two-factor payment checks also make disputes much less of an issue. This is entirely about Visa/Mastercard simply refusing to work with some industries.

Not gay per se, more like bisexuals.

How do you get your training data if no-one has been objectified in the supply pipeline?

That's a lame excuse tbh. If they had no objection they'd allow it for every merchant and then only after said merchant has a lot of "disputes,etc" would they then block said merchant from selling such services. They even have a genuinely good reason then!!

It's like saying "yeah we don't service the entire Chinese and Russian IP block because of risk and lots of hacking coming form there."

> The girls were literal 10/10 perfections, you would never be able to find humans like that, even among world-class supermodels. That sounds really boring, lol.

Well if that sounds boring, you could ask the AI artist to add in some imperfections. Anything is possible.
