    More fingers. That’s better or worse depending on what floats your boat.

    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

    Rule 34, a maxim that everything imaginable has been portrayed in porn, has now been taken to its logical extremes.

    Not yet, it hasn’t.

    I definitely think it’s worse.

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

      I found it amazing that even gooners have standards. I’ve noticed in general they hate AI-generated hentai and still prefer porn animated by humans.

        You have to consider them like art critics.

        They’ve put in their ten thousand hours studying the material. They’ve found their niche and subcategory. They don’t want to see that some generic rehash of the same pose or whatever, they want something with an opinion, that makes them feel something, and where you can look at it and see the genius behind it.

        So it doesn’t surprise me they’re averse to slop.

        …or so I’m told anyways.

      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.

        Frame interpolation is pretty good. It can take a 10fps gif and interpolate to a pretty good 60fps. The color and resolution is still crap, though.

        I was thinking that just as I posted. Can anyone provide an example, like a piece of heterosexual porn because I don’t want to watch the other type, that is AI that looks real? Just out of curiosity.

      Judging by the amount of content online, I’m guessing it knows quite a bit.

      I mean this in the sense that it probably has a giant data set to learn from.

      If you are speaking about experience, then nothing.

    Vic Lagina, who was a lead producer and director for the porn production company Brazzers for 16 years and is the author of Filthy!: The Rise and (Pending) Death of Vic Lagina, welcomes it. “As a former business owner in porn, the prospect of completely eliminating humans from the equation in porn production would be extremely enticing,” he wrote in an email to Playboy, celebrating an end to “self-serving attitudes of performers, … questions about revoked consent despite whatever rigid protocols are in place, … bad hygiene, … and waiting for wood from a shaky male performer” before concluding: “It sounds like a dream.”

    huh.

      That more an indication of how horrible producers can be and how this mentality is exactly the same in Hollywood. Tom Cruises character in tropica thunder is a direct representation of these people.

      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.

    I’m fine with ai porn if it actually looks like real people. This weird obsession with anime bodys as if they exist in reality is, well, weird.

    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’d call this exploitation:

      According to Joi.AI, there are restrictions in place to respect real performers’ virtual boundaries; the bot will not, for example, entertain being humiliated. But, as seen with Grok and the like, fans are already creating twisted scenarios out of the performers’ control, proliferating a violation of privacy.

      “When sex becomes frictionless, it stops reflecting real intimacy and starts training people to expect control without responsibility,” Lust warns.

      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

        I want to add i remember a redditor posted about his gf not being able to have sex for 2 hrs a day everyday because she was too sore. He didnt know better because he learned from porn. just like eating tide pods and every other stupid fake crap we see. Someone will try it and hurt themselves and others.

          …what porn are you watching where you learn that 2 hours every day is normal? Are there pornos out there with multi-day narratives that are longer than feature films?

          Clearly this couple had grossly mismatched sexual appetites, but I don’t see how porn is to blame for thinking it’s normal to go that long that often.

            There are. Streaming has apparently freed lots of genres of media from formatting / scheduling expectations.

            If I had to guess its because porn videos can be long and media makes fun of men that cant last long.
