    For years, we’ve been warned that the robots are coming for us. Now they’re asking us to come for them.

    Some gold quotes in this one

    I definitely think it’s worse.

    There’s a lot of very unrealistic hentai body proportions trained into the models.

      Even the AI upscales are generally worse. I prefer Bluray quality 4k porn as much as any guy, but I’d prefer to watch a pixelated 480p than 99% of upscales which look like rotoscoped animation.

    I mean…if it stops the exploitation of the “starts”, that’s a net positive. There’s some horror stories out there.

      The part where people are trademarking their likenesses and partnering with AI companies to maintain control of their image is nice. It never even occurred to me the possibility of porn stars to be part of the AI layoff steamroller, but this is essentially it. Why hire you for more when we can generate more?

      I also liked that the AI partners gave them creative control over their likeness and the ability to turn down certain prompts that violate their consent. Going to grok as a workaround to still get to see someone do something they aren’t comfortable with is really messed up though.

      The article ending with the long term implications of AI pornography blurring the lines of consent for some people due to the nature of on demand anything goes at the click of button mentality developing is a take that is never thought I’d read in a playboy. This article was really a great read.

    It’s good. All media is presumed to be fake. Nobody can be hurt by naked bodies anymore, the market for real porn collapses and overall real exploitation is reduced. I think Ai is a solution to our fucked up relationship with naked bodies and sex.

      I think Ai is a solution to our fucked up relationship with naked bodies and sex.

      I think your attitude to sex work is a fucked up relationship with naked bodies and sex.

      A lot of men “learn” about sex via porn and later act out things they saw, even if it’s inconsiderate of their partner

      To be clear, this is not a new problem caused by AI but I’m not excited about how AI will be interacting with the problem
