It's like he never heard of rule 34 before. Know what remains just as creative as AI can be and has been around awhile already?
People that like to draw.
Why are we linking to somebody's slashdot post talking about an article, instead of the actual article?

Well, this would not be the first time that porn has a strong influence on where technology is heading.
Remember VHS vs. BetaMax. BetaMax was the better system, but did not allow commercial publishing of porn on their type of cassettes. VHS, on the other hand, did. The rest is history.
That’s actually a common myth. Beta had porn too. What beta didn’t have was the ability to record a full football game. If I wasn’t at work I’d link the technology connections video on why Betamax lost

I'm not trying to say we can really ban this but I'm very unhappy about AI porn. Many sex workers are struggling as it is, and with AI people can make non consensual images of anyone which will leave them with the same stigma sex workers have to endure. I'm also not saying that stigma is good.
AI porn will prevent vulnerable men from being exploited by the OnlyFans crowd.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Porn has existed forever. Onlyfans is a type of porn consumption. A stiff, plastic, clammy-skinned woman with anime proportions isn’t about to replace the social intimacy that people get from OF. And yes, I know that there are some really good AI gen’s images out there, but it’s a different market entirely.
And if I want porn, there are a million sites for images and videos that don’t require a machine to steal the likenesses of a thousand women to output the most generic bland porn I’ve ever seen.
If AI is going to replicate the social and porn aspects of the industry, so you really think the creators aren’t going to exploit horny idiots out of their money?
From what I've read, OF is propelled not by naughty bits but social intimacy. Payment is less for getting to see someone in the buff, but for tidbits of social regard and acknowledgement.
Granted, AI will eventually be able to emulate this. But yes, while porn is about the last mile of a relationship's culmination, all the lonely people are craving the stuff that leads to the last mile.
