This sort of thing makes me wonder about paraphilia’s that might emerge - images which might tweak some human reactions in a way that human bodies just can’t. Like those flowers that mimic female flies so well the males prefer them to actual female flies.

People have suggested this has already happened with the unrealistic portrayals in porn, in regards to the acts themselves being easier (and with less concerns about cleaning up before or after), and also with body shapes focusing on and emphasising certain traits that are uncommon to the point that IRL they're either unhealthy or require surgery.

(I don't know if such claims are well founded, just that I've heard them).

Just visit r/boltedontits.

gotta love an /r/ with rules that make sense.

At least now at least I can parse "boltedontits" correctly, and not as "bolt e don't its".
I got my braces from a boltedontist :E
that already applied to anime porn or 3D rendered porn, no? after all, AI porn is just imitating these. now it's just easier to mass produce.
Doesn't make up and plastic surgery already count?
That would require a lot of people to rate generated images, to use as feedback to push the training in that direction? How are they going to pay them for all that work? Oh, wait, ...
Art already does that! Don‘t you know about furry porn? Hyper, macro, vore -there are all kinds of fetishes that would be impossible in real life. Insane hyperoptimizations.
how'd that turn out for the flies?
Well, if the nature documentary I saw is to be believed, they eventually get tired of the plant not acting quite right and go find a real female fly. (IIRC it’s some sort of orchid)

Which I guess makes evolutionary sense - you want to use the fly for pollination, but you can’t be so sexy it completely gives up on procreation, or you run out of pollinators!
