Another banger from lemmites

Mate, you can use AI for porn

If literally -nothing- else can convince you, just the fact that it's an automated goon machine should tell you that we are not going to live this one down as easily as shit like NFTs

Mate, you can use AI for porn

A classic scarce resource on the internet. Why pick through a catalog of porn that you could watch 24/7 for decades on end, of every conceivable variation and intersection and fetish, when you can type in "Please show me naked boobies" into Grok and get back some poorly rendered half-hallucinated partially out of frame nipple?

just the fact that it’s an automated goon machine should tell you that we are not going to live this one down

The computer was already an automated goon machine. This is yet one more example of AI spending billions of dollars yet adding nothing of value.

Not that I disagree with you on how idiotic it is, but with AI you can give it very precise requirements on what you want to see.

There are people who would pay to have porn videos created to their taste. User fuckswithducks on reddit explained this a few years ago. Now people who have such extremely specific desires don't have to shell out thousands for a private video from their favorite star.

Which brings up ethical issues that the techbros seem to handwave away.

What's more ethical - paying someone to record and rape a duck, or making a computer play pretend?

[–] sjmarf@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

To be clear, u/fuckswithducks had a rubber duck fetish, so no actual ducks were involved in that specific case. Though I get your point.

Setting aside the fact that you could do this already with a sufficiently well-tagged library of traditional pornography, you're neglecting two big caveats

  1. People's porn tastes are so rarified that they need exacting specifications in order to enjoy it

  2. AI consistently and faithfully delivers on queries, rather than pumping out a bunch of vague approximations full of uncanny valley graphical artifacts

There are people who would pay to have porn videos created to their taste.

And they can already do that with Cam Girls, for infinitesimally less than it costs to run a high end AI model.

Now people who have such extremely specific desires don’t have to shell out thousands for a private video from their favorite star.

The high price is what makes the luxury good appealing. If everyone can get it, then it isn't what a handful of high rollers are after.

The real "money in AI porn" isn't reshuffled budget-tier bulk content. It's the promise of exclusive ultra-high-end luxury taboo. And the end of that road is just the porn version of Star Citizen. Someone who has baited a bunch of 4chan stogies with more money than sense into putting up $40k for the opportunity to have a five-way with Leia Oregon, Jessica Rabbit, and Rhea Ripley in six months to a year, once we've tuned the prompt just right.

But that's not any kind of industry. It's just scams.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 2 points 15 hours ago

The running cost of the AI model is shared between users. cam girl donations - technically also, but if too many people donate, you get less attention personally.

Personally I'm just going to keep on watching free porn. The gambling ads at least pay out to real people instead of fossil fuel companies.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

My biggest frustration is how confidently arrogant they are about it

AI is literally the biggest problem technology has ever created and almost no one even realizes it yet

Yet it will only improve with time

Imagine your fursona getting freaky with your waifu without having to commission them. And having infinite different ones come up.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 points 11 minutes ago

waifu

you completely lost me here.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 hours ago

If someone on pawb.social is saying it, I'll trust them for sure

[–] elrecoal19_1@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

what if we made porn NFTs? 😳

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

you're about 5 years too late

[–] elrecoal19_1@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Excuse me, I'll make it more clear now by adding an addendum to my original comment: /j

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Has anyone actually jerked off to AI porn? No shaming but for me there's this fundamental emptiness to it. Like it can't impress me because it's exactly like what you expected it to be.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 18 hours ago

what if, and hear me out.. you combine both and use ai porn to get nft
