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.

You know what's great? You are already free to do that without imposing dystopian circumstances on other people.

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…

> 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. Bradbury explores (amongst other things) a constantly hedonistic society in Fahrenheit 451 : * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit_451 Elements of that also found in Huxley's Brave New World : * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World

It's almost a central theme of "Brave New World." I've always wondered why 1984 gets so much credit for prescience when Brave New World and Vonnegut's "Player Piano" seem to have (from this vantage point) got our nail on the head a little better. If you haven't read "Player Piano" its about a future where, as all jobs have been automated, society is divided into engineers and non-engineers on the dole who are basically assigned busy work (either fake road crew, or fake soldier) so they can get money to buy the stuff the engineers are making.

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.

maybe thats good for them to find a job where they are not judged by their look and their ability to take c*k

Definitely, just like it's good for coal miners to be out of that awful line of work -- they seem really happy about it down in West Virginia.

While we're at it, we should free up software developers to no longer have to have jobs where their body is on the line, with high rates of scoliosis and carpal tunnel too.

Taking away someone's livelihood without readily having an alternative to immediately substitute is rarely something you're going to be thanked for. There are absolutely abusive porn studios, but there's also a good portion of cottage industry "amateur" porn that's popped up in recent years, where the only "boss" is a site taking their overhead cost for hosting and distribution.

Not that I take issue with the march of progress here. Just saying that someone will be better off without their job is a bit off.

I'm not imposing anything on anyone. Merely stating the inevitable.

There already are porn stars whose careers depend in them looking like celebrities. Long before AI, in the early days of the internet, there were “nudes” of Gillian Anderson/Dana Scully. You own your body, bur your face is not as unique as you think it is. https://nypost.com/2021/07/13/uncanny-taylor-swift-lookalike...

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?

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

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 this is true, why do you think your recommendation holds any value? Well, it isn't true, sorry to disappoint heh. My suggestion for him to go to a red lights district (preferably in another country) is for exposure therapy as he is afraid of human contact in all of its forms. > This is not about sex per se, this is about absolute sexual beauty No, it is not about "absolute sexual beauty" or whatever flowery lang…

Thanks for this message

I just absolutely fail to see the issue with CGI porn, even of the underage variety (because let's face it, that's all anyone is going to care about when it comes to banning it).

Trying to argue that fake pictures of non existent kids doing bad shit is somehow "child porn" is about as dumb as saying Saw (the movie) is an actual snuff film.

Is it vulgar and offensive - of course. Is it child porn - no, because the person in the picture does not exist.
