If you think about it, there are already tools that can do pretty convincing face swaps with few clicks and just from one low res photo at whatever angle. Long are gone the times you had to train the models for hours and had to have few hundred photos to just get “okay” fake. Once deepfake video creation becomes this simple, it is game over for porn industry.

Since why would anyone go into porn industry, when they can just use a tool to create lewd content of themselves if they are so inclined to make a living that way? And then it goes the other way around, why would anyone buy it if they can just homebrew it for free.

All in all, it is a good thing. Less exploitation of actual human beings and more power to “consumers”. But then there have to be rigid laws against actuall AI porn dissemination, it should be illegal for anything else than private use unless actual consent to be used as source can be proven.

    I for one welcome our Ferrangi holodeck overlords.

    It leaves a sour taste in my mouth, for traditional handcrafted human generated pornography to come to a climax. I can only hope with suitable support, the industry can swallow the bitter blue pill, and maintain its stamina for just a bit longer.

    Artificial content generation is a threat that’s going to come over and over again, it’s going to be in and out of the zeitgeist.

    I am confident, as the porn industry lays exhausted and spongy on the ground, that there will always be an appetite, a fetish, for genuine human generated pornography. Hand polished porn if you will. Lovingly crafted to fit even the tightest niche.

    What does worry me, is the AI parasocial relationship tsunami that’s hitting the internet. There’s going to be a lot of people growing up with these very awkward AI relationships, that are not going to be able to handle real people, having a distorted view of how humans work because they spent all of their time dealing with approximations of humanity online.

      That’s what many a lot of them say, and what a lot of consumers (want to) believe. Take out all monetary aspects and I’m suprised if more than 1% of the models actually continue to “enjoy having sex” infront of a camera.

        i make porn

        i’ve spent thousands of dollars on camera equipment

        i post it online, in 4k, for free, and there’s no way to pay me for the content

        i do it because i like the exhibitionism (among other things)

        i do it because in the sex-positive communities i prefer to associate with, it’s like posting your day to facebook

        i do it because the camera pushes me to imagine new and interesting things to do

        i do it because it helps me meet people with similar tastes that aren’t flakey and are equally sex positive and non-judgemental

        there’s an enormous amateur community (that often becomes professional) that makes porn because they want to… money is a nice thing to help buy new gear for porn, but it’s not the primary concern

          And on the amateur side, most men think “I want my wife/GF/SO” to see my penis. It’s a pretty standard behavior.

          And you have vastly overestimated how much people want to see your pussy. And even more overstimated how many want it for money. Soon if you post your pussy somewhere once, they will just make hundreds of pussy shots without you

        I have to ask: why is people that enjoy having sex infront of a camera so unbelievable to you? I am guessing that you are anti-porn. Is that what you want to believe?

    Sounds like you don’t understand the sex work industry.

    • People already get porn for free. Nothing new here.
    • Some things you can’t synthesize. Like experiences.
    • For a lot of people it’s not just about the sex but the personalities of the models.
    • Some make the content because they like to make the content.

      Personalities of models. Lol, that is some niche market my dude. Never watched a porn a said to myself “wow, I really like her personality”. It’s just smut to beat my meat to, nothing more, nothing less.

      In the dystopian future I propose, you can make any kind of porn and have anyone star in it. Your hot neighbor? Gotcha! The pornstar you masturbated to 20 years ago when she was young in her glory days and now is old and saggy after 5 kids? Gotcha! Rapsutin?..errr…gotcha!

      You can even dream perfect personality for that pornstar if that is your thing. There is nothing that cannot be synthesized anymore. You can even dream up years of her backstory and have her post daily updates live aka “onlyfans”.

      Sure, authencity will be left to slowly bleed out on pavement, but majority of people will step over it on their way to perfect synthesized reality they always wanted

      It may all sound doom and gloom, but that future is fast approcahing by mile steps and it will be here sooner than later and lot sooner than many people realize or even want to admit it, because to lot of people that kind of future is unimaginable and scary as fuck. But you cannot stop the progress, that train already left the station.

      There are basically two camps: Ones that fear the synthetization and digitalization of our lives will happen and then the other that embraces it.
