I’d suggest that if you think AI porn is anywhere near the real thing, that’s probably because you think porn is already slop in the same way that these AI bros think of code or creative writing or whatever other information-based thing you already know AI can’t do well.
Porn isn’t slop, people aren’t just interestingly-shaped slabs of meat. Sex is fundamentally about interpersonal connection. It might be one of the things that LLMs and robots are the worst at.
Who was that? I said sex is about interpersonal connection. I didn’t learn that from porn, I learned it from sex.
I trusted the audience to understand that good porn or erotica in general should be about portraying that connection in some form, which is what is actually hot about sex, but maybe I gave you too much credit.
But hey, if sexuality to you is really that shallow, you’re free to pity me, because I put absolutely no stock in your opinion.
False. Porn is sexy, and I can’t possibly be aroused by an image of a woman spreading her cheeks when her fingers are attached to her arse with a continuous piece of flesh, giving her skin the same topography as a teapot.
Everyone’s convinced their thing is special, but everyone else’s is a done deal.
I’m sad it makes me sound like such a pie-in-the-sky hippie when I say I think everyone’s contributions are not just special, but essential, and that’s why this whole mentality pisses me off so much, especially in the indie space.
Artists are like “Finally, I can have Ai do my code! But good art takes a special touch.”
Coders are like “Finally, I can have Ai do my art! But good code takes a special touch.”
“Idea Guys”, who never learned anything but want to make a game because they like playing them, are leading the charge. They’re so excited to put everyone who makes those games out of a job because they think they’ll finally get to “achieve their dreams” with freaking prompts.
But for the people who do the work, why the heck are skilled artisans so ready to sell out their comrades? This “highly competitive” nonsense, and one-great-glorious-man myth has simply turned us on each other, when the people with pointless bullshit jobs are somehow still employed, simply serving to harass and bother the people getting things done.
Meanwhile the only task where current AI seems truly competitive is porn.
Well it sure has a heckuva data set from every possible angle and lighting setup, doesn’t it? 😬 Lol

AI is really good at creating images of Jesus that boomers say “amen” to.
So is toast.

Wanking is about the emotional connection to a JPG, said someone I deeply pity.

Who wouldn’t pity those who make do with a lossy compression image format?
I do not need lossless copies of an image someone didn’t even draw.
Most porn is definitely slop.
Most commercially produced media is slop. Porn isn’t special in that regard.
That doesn’t mean porn is somehow specially devoid of artistic merit. Done well it can be beautiful and meaningful.
You’ve got a stereotype in your head that was put there by a misogynistic culture, but that’s not inherent to the genre.
Not everyone is there for the interpersonal connection. Some really are just that base and pathetic.
Having said that, seeking personal connection (or just sex) is a mistake in this age. Best to learn to let go, and get used to suffering.

I absolutely hate this, thanks

I’ll stop saying it if it stops being true.

They’re about 2% better at being a telephone IVR than the older ones, probably at 6x the power cost.
