| >The porn industry Honestly ... I think the rise of [almost breaking the uncanny chasm] AI-generated images and video is going to both help and hurt the porn industry How will it 'help'? Generate, on-demand, whatever form of sexual fantasy the user can prompt How will it 'hurt'? Generate, on-demand, whatever form of sexual fantasy the user can prompt When actual, IRL humans are involved, there are always limits to what can be produced When that limitation is gone ... the cuffs will be off! Is AI-generated 'underage' sex still "pedophilia"? When those 'engaging' in whatever activity the prompter has suggested 'do not `exist`'? What about so-called 'extreme' BDSM/pain/fetish/etc? If the 'actors' are all AI-generated ... is it still [potentially] `wrong`? There are a HOST of ethical and legal issues that are about to hit the porn industry ... and those who want to - rightfully - prosecute those who want grossly-illegal/-unethical material! Strictly by the letter of the law ... it 'cannot' be `kiddie porn` if the images are not of real people. Yet ... by the spirit of the law ... it most certainly is `kiddie porn` if the images are of obviously `underage` individuals! Or what about so-called 'snuff videos'? It is actually a beheading if the `beheaded` is AI-generated? The legal system is going to have a LOT of work in front of itself in this dawning era, to be sure! |
