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...…

The future is not Orwell and his "a boot stamping on a human face— forever." It's AI expertly pushing our little human psychological/emotional buttons forever. The future is going to be FILLED with AI hyper-trained to persuade us with beautiful people made from these models to do whatever the heck people controlling that AI want.

Speaking of AI generated visual porn, I wonder why AI Dungeon, Replika and Character.AI shut down all NSFW interactions in their text chat, even if you pay. Maybe ethical concerns?

I was on AI Dungeon in 2020 when they had a GPT-3 backend and no censorship. Holy Cow that was addictive! I bet a large percentage of the population could combine that with stable diffusion and live their whole lives in there!

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)

Drawings (in manga form for instance) depicting underage sex are considered child pornography in many jurisdictions. Prison sentences are given for having it. AI generated cp is most certainly also cp.

At least now at least I can parse "boltedontits" correctly, and not as "bolt e don't its".

I got my braces from a boltedontist :E

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…

Exactly. As morbid as it is, people might eventually get bored of the fake stuff and might crave (or even fetishize) the "real" stuff.

Note that this article is from four months ago. Their Patreon and Kickstarter have been suspended but they collected money on their website and they will first focus on making yet another anime model.

The big news in the Stable Diffusion land has been the release of ControlNet: https://github.com/lllyasviel/ControlNet. It hasn't gotten much traction on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34761780. It allows you to maintain the shape of existing images (or sketch new ones) and use Stable Diffusion to fill them out, my example: https://twitter.com/LechMazur/status/1626668677473918981.

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…

Consuming content does not really make me happy or feel good. It is stimulating and addictive, but as of now I am still motivated to see friends, do sports, work towards goals etc. even if I often get sidetracked by my online material.

If you think about addiction simplistically and mechanically, drugs will always be more capable of releasing dopamine than what our bodies are capable of naturally. It would make sense to me that there is a limit to how addictive content can get, when consumed in the usual ways.

This is also a (health) education problem, and at least in Finland problematic social media use has been linked with "moderate/low school achievement, low health literacy, and low parental monitoring"[1] (though if there is causality, it probably goes both ways for some of those).

For what it is worth, for me personally there is a limit after which I get twitchy and need to do some hard or uncomfortable in the physical world to feel good again.

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

Most porn actors are young girls doing it a few times (as they are required to do more extreme things to stay relevant) and being seen forever. They also don't think about how easy it will be to identify them in the future as face recognition/matching gets even cheaper.

I'm wondering is "being seen forever" as big of a deal as it used to be? If you have nudes somewhere on the internet does anyone actually give a shit?

"But I think it's only a matter of time before this becomes automated."

I think it will take a loong time, before it gets fully automated and deliver passable results, that are not 100% generic and repetive. But even if:

"And then I'll probably overdose and fry my brains out during a never ending binge on random-seed generated, precison-engineered, personalized dopamine bombs. "

Wouldn't it still simply get boring after a while and you stop watching porn?
