Generative AI tools have empowered amateurs and entrepreneurs to build mind-boggling amounts of non-consensual porn.

Each of these reads like an extremely horny and angry man yelling their basest desires at Pornhub’s search function.

    I tend to agree generating adult content of real people is unethical, but probably less so than how a lot of real porn is made.

    Well, even if that were the case, the “real porn” is still required to train the model in the first place.

    So, it’s unethical shit on top of what you think was even more unethical.

      Sure, and “impossible” meat wouldn’t have existed if people weren’t already eating actual meat. But it’s a better alternative. Porn is not going anywhere. If generative AI means less real people get exploited that’s a win in my book.

        This comparison only holds water if impossible meat were composed of bits of rearranged animal meat… Which it isn’t.

        That’s not necessarily a win for everyone. Some people actually like working in the porn industry. Besides that, their likenesses are being stolen and used to produce reproductions and derivative works without consent or compensation.

        Also, I think you and your buddies here are missing the plot. Generated porn and generated porn of real people are related but different things. I think that’s pretty commonly understood which is why these sites have policies in the first place.
