I am looking forward to this becoming common and effective. Being able to generate animated hentai in assorted styles would be neat. Lina Inverse getting boinked by Donald Duck could be a thing.

Oh my God! That's disgusting! AI porn online!? Where!? Where do they post those!? There's so many of them, though. Which one?

I'm a representative of the American pornographical societies of America and I would like to educate myself and others in this disgusting AI de-generated graphical content for the purpose of informing my friends and family about this. Could we please have a link?

Fucking disgusting unethical shit. Tell me where to find it so I can avoid it pls.

fuck you guys, I'm hoarding it all like the filthy perverted bad dragon I am!

[–] drmoose 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Good.

Hot take but I think AI porn will be revolutionary and mostly in a good way. Sex industry is extremely wasteful and inefficient use of our collective time that also often involves a lot of abuse and dark business practices. It's just somehow taboo to even mention this.

[–] JackFrostNCola 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Sometimes you come across a video and you are like 'oh this. I need more of THIS.'
And then you start tailoring searches to try find more of the same but you keep getting generic or repeated results because the lack of well described/defined content overuse of video TAGs (obviously to try get more views with a large net rather than being specific).
But would i watch AI content if i could feed it a description of what i want? Hell yeah!

I mean there are only so many videos of girls giving a blowjob while he eats tacos and watches old Black & White documentaries about the advancements of mechanical production processes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 minutes ago

I hate it when you find a good video, it does the job really well, so a few days later you're like, yeah let's watch that one again, you type in every single description you can about the video and find everything else but the video you want and they're barely anywhere near as good.

Hell I'd take an AI porn search engine for now, let me describe in detail what the video I'm looking for is so I can finally see it again.

The year is 1997. A young boy is about to watch a porn video for the first time on a grainy VHS tape. An older version of himself from the far off year of 2025 appears.

Me: "You know, in the future, you'll make your own porn videos."

90s me: "Wow, you mean I'll get to have lots of hot sex!?!?"

Me: "Ha! No. So Nvidia will release this system called CUDA..."

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I thought this was going to go Watchmen for a moment. Like...

It is 1997, I am a young boy, I am jerking off to a grainy porno playing over stolen cinemax.

It is 2007, i am in my dorm, i am jerking off to a forum thread full of hi-res porno.

It is 2027, i am jerking off to an ai porno stream that mutates to my desires in real time. I am about to nut so hard that it shatters my perception of time.

[–] ThePantser 10 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Oops the stream hallucinated and mutated into a horror show with women with nipples that are mouths and dicks with eyeballs.

Did I stutter?

It’s time like this that I think, ahhh, the Internet never truly changed :D

First off, I am sex positive, pro porn, pro sex work, and don't believe sex work should be shameful, and that there is nothing wrong about buying intimacy from a willing seller.

That said. The current state of the industry and the conditions for many professionals raises serious ethical issues. Coercion being the biggest issue.

I am torn about AI porn. On one hand it can produce porn without suffering, on the other hand it might be trained on other peoples work and take peoples jobs.

I think another major point to consider going forward is if it is problematic if people can generate all sorts of illegal stuff. If it is AI generated it is a victimless crime, so should it be illegal? I personally feel uncomfortable with the thought of several things being legal, but I can't logically argue for it being illegal without a victim.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

i have no problem with ai porn assuming it's not based on any real identities, i think that should be considered identity theft or impersonation or something.

Outside of that, it's more complicated, but i don't think it's a net negative, people will still thrive in the porn industry, it's been around since it's been possible, i don't see why it wouldn't continue.

[–] drmoose 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Identity theft only makes sense for businesses. I can sketch naked Johny Depp in my sketchbook and do whatever I want with it and no one can stop me. Why should an AI tool be any different if distribution is not involved?

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

revenge porn, simple as. Creating fake revenge porn of real people is still to some degree revenge porn, and i would argue stealing someones identity/impersonation.

To be clear, you're example is a sketch of johnny depp, i'm talking about a video of a person that resembles the likeness of another person, where the entire video is manufactured. Those are fundamentally, two different things.

[–] drmoose 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Again you're talking about distribution

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

sort of. There are arguments that private ownership of these videos is also weird and shitty, however i think impersonation and identity theft are going to the two most broadly applicable instances of relevant law here. Otherwise i can see issues cropping up.

Other people do not have any inherent rights to your likeness, you should not simply be able to pretend to be someone else. That's considered identity theft/fraud when we do it with legally identifying papers, it's a similar case here i think.

[–] drmoose 1 points 18 minutes ago

But the thing is it's not a relevant law here at all as nothing is being distributed and no one is being harmed. Would you say the same thing if AI is not involved? Sure it can be creepy and weird and whatnot but it's not inhertly harmful or at least it's not obvious how it would be.

I've been thinking about this recently too, and I have similar feelings.

I'm just gonna come out and say it without beating around the bush: what is the law's position on AI-generated child porn?

More importantly, what should it be?

It probably goes without saying that the training data absolutely should not contain CP, for reasons that should be obvious to anybody. But what if it wasn't?

If we're basing the law on pragmatism rather than emotional reaction, I guess it comes down to whether creating this material would embolden paedophiles and lead to more predatory behaviour, or whether it would satisfy their desires enough to cause a substantial drop in predatory behaviour.

And to know that, we'd need extensive and extremely controversial studies. Beyond that, even in the event allowing this stuff to be generated is an overall positive (and I don't know whether it would or won't), will many politicians actually call for this stuff to be allowed? Seems like the kind of thing that could ruin a political career. Nobody's touching that with a ten foot pole.

what is the law’s position on AI-generated child porn?

the simplest possible explanation here, is that any porn created based on images of children, is de facto illegal. If it's trained on adults explicitly, and you prompt it for child porn, that's a grey area, probably going to follow precedent for drawn art, rather than real content.
