AI Is Already Changing Porn. Is It for Better or Worse?

Someone had a fun writing assignment lol

Goddamned Shakespeare!

I read it for the articles!

WTF is playboy?

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.

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.

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.

There's stiff competition. Good for the consumer.

Everyone thinks they have good gaydar because they can spot the ones they can spot.

A producer hates their performers? Say it ain't so.

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.

More like Lic Vagina, amirite?

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'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.

I think Ai is a solution to our fucked up relationship with naked bodies and sex.

I think your attitude to sex work is a fucked up relationship with naked bodies and sex.

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
