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

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.

I think even the "handcrafted" experience will become redundant in couple of years. Give it text prompt, give it source image, and it will generate everything up to a tiny detail to a spec in text prompt.

I see it taking up the bulk of porn production. But there's always those crazy humans who search for that genuine experience. Hipster porn if you will.

Hah, I liked it before it was hot. My main squeeze is vintage vinyl, none of this modern silicone stuff, that’s not authentic.

"Hipster porn", lol get that term patented asap, it may be really catchy phrase in next few years. What times we live in, rofl

Your contempt and over usage of terms like "rofl" makes me think you have a problem with people who don’t share your vision of sexuality. You should work on it.
