Came across this discussion my friend Anders shared.
Here's the OP:
Ai PORN IS THE NEW GOLD RUSH FOR TECH BROS AND ITS SCARY AF
It used to be that if you wanted to get into the porn business, you needed to pay real humans to have sex on camera. Wallah, Playboy was born! Nowadays things are different. All you need to be is an Ai developer living in your parent's basement with loose morals. A quick search revealed 68 USA Universities with Ai developer certificates.
After two men recently reached out to me about getting hooked on Ai porn, I knew that I needed to check it out. I found a blog with 72 Ai porn sites indexed by best ratings. As I opened up a handful, what I found was terrifying. So what exactly is Ai porn and why should we all give two fucks?
Ai porn is the ability to go to a website and type in exactly what you want to see. Age, size, build, bust, butt, race, facial feature, facial expression, anime, realistic, etc. Basically whatever you can imagine it will create, whether legal or illegal in this physical 3D reality. Mostly its photos but video is on the horizon.
Unlike PornHub, where its free and therefore you are the product by the ads they serve you, these sites are built as a pay to play model. You get a few free credits and then you gotta pony up. So not only are they commercializing your life force, they are also commercializing your wallet.
What I find to be the most disturbing is the sites which allow you to upload your own photo and then they undress the person. Just consider that for a second. If you have a photo of yourself on the internet, someone could save it and undress you, switch your gender and then begin wanking off. #deepfake #dystopian #terrifying
This has already become an issue in NYC where teenage boys did this to girls in their school and it spread like wildfire. Legal actions are now being taken but state laws haven't caught up to how fast the tech is spreading. Be especially aware if you're a parent and install the browser blocker called www.bark.us.
The other thing I find super disturbing is that the images that other users have created and which get ranked highly get stored into a library which you can view. Seeing what people are creating is downright freaky. I have no idea why people want women to look like devils and goblins but I have a few theories that I won't share publicly.
So what's the big deal, it's fake anyways? Nah, bro, it's not. Ai porn shackles men by making you think your ai girlfriend is real and you're truly creative. She's not real and this is not creativity. Plus, it proliferates the parts of the psyche which eroticize perfection. Lastly, this type of porn breeds narcissism - Whatever I can imagine, I can and will have!
If you are addicted to #aiporn, have an #aigirlfriend, or are generally struggling to attract a mate, I am launching a program called Retain Your Life Force this summer. Stay tuned or shoot me a DM so I know to reach out to you when it's ready. Your real intimacy, with a real human partner, awaits!
