AI content generation is on fast track to kill the whole porn industry. (self.technology)

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.

Since why would anyone go into porn

They like having sex and they like doing it on camera.

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.

You have vastly underestimated how much I want people to see my pussy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not saying there aren't people who enjoy it. But I assume the numbers of those who say they do vs those who acutually do wildly differ. You got to keep in mind that there is a huge incentive in making consumers believe that actors and actresses enjoy it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's fair but I think your estimate is way off. At less than 1% you're basically saying that nobody really enjoys doing porn. Additionally, I think things like inadequate wages, being forced to interact with crazy customers (fans), and unsafe working conditions would make people want to quit the industry rather than the sex work itself.

You're right, I think it's not the sex work in front of a camera but rather all that comes with it. Including stalking, risk of contracting STDs, highly unregulated work environment...
