Ok, but why would anyone bother training AI on porn? Seriously, I don't understand

    Gen AI porn and shitposts are the only 2 decent use cases I've seen of gen AI.

    You can't make half of those without training it on porn.

    Just to add I've seen a full 10 second clip of AI gay porn and it was very, very realistic, with only some minor things that set it off as fake. It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid I'm cumming to clankers now.

    An article I read when this came up a couple of months ago said that basically porn was the best way to show AI unclothed human movement. Watching clothed humans move, you can get the basics but can’t see how the muscles are working. If you show it a Hollywood movie, they might see occasional shirtless scenes or artfully lit and blocked out sex scenes. Porn has the greatest amount of naked people moving their bodies.

    Have you not heard that everyone is now doing NSFW chatbots? Meta is just trying to catch up with Grok and Chatgpt

    I've heard about that. I just don't really understand why would anyone waste their resources on it. AI training is too expensive to waste it on that.

    Maybe there's enough people ready to pay for their own personal porn production

    there are more cost-effective ways to produce amateur porn.

    It doesn’t make sense to me either but people pay for onlyfans and whatnot.

    what's funny is that onlyfans was supposed to be an alternative for patreon but it kinda evolved into what it is today by capitalizing on market demand. I remember back in 2018-2019 lots of folks in the culture industry seriously said that onlyfans will be THE functional business model for artists and writers to build and engage with their communities and sustain themselves on creativity alone. Flashforward 2020 - tits and ass!
