Can't track it down now but I remember reading that the adoption of the printing press happened so quickly because demand for a certain collection of erotic stories was super high and it made printing ridiculously profitable. Porn again.
That's a very naive view on the capability of AI. AI is very good at recognizing and recreating patterns. It can help to detect cancer but cure it not so much
True. I have heard of AI protein folding and that's used as a tool for understanding metabolism and making new medicine. Antibiotics not such much I think but I would happily stand corrected.
My point is, it's not the one solution that fixes everything but a tool that's already applied where it can be. I'm not even sure that's a point at all since OP's post is obviously a hyperbole and more about "we use this very potent technology for porn". Don't take my first comment as a disagreement but rather as a FYI or whatever.
That's a very pessimistic view on the capability of AI. It is already assisting in creating vaccines and other medicine. It can certainly help find the cure for cancer.

Hmm... could a substantial percentage of the population develop a fetish for curing cancer during our lifetime? That would be awesome.

We usually call them scientists or researchers, but yes...

Don't we also use AI to fold proteins and make new medicines such as antibiotics? If not, then we should probably see if we could.

If it's good enough for porn, it's good enough for curing diseases 👍... but first 🍆 😁.

AI is used in porn? How?
LwL@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
Image AI is being used to generate tons of porn.
Human horniness can be a great driver for innovation, really.
pipariturbiini@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 2y
Creating new porn images by teaching an AI/learning model what existing ones look like, or swapping faces on video as an example.
