Have you already noticed the trend of image search results for porn containing inferior AI slop porn?

I have. It sucks. The world we're headed for maybe isn't one we actually wind up wanting in the end.

I like the idea of increasingly advanced video models as a technologist, but in practice, I'm noticing slop and I don't like it. Having grown up on porn, when video models are in my hands, the addiction steers me in the direction of only using the the technology to generate it. That's a slot machine so addictive akin to the leap from the dirty magazines of old to the world of internet porn I witnessed growing up. So, porn addiction on steroids. I found it eventually damaging enough to my mental health that I sold my 4090. I'm a lot better off now.

The nerd in me absolutely loves Generative models from a technology perspective, but just like the era of social media before it, it's a double edged sword.

It sounds like you have a personal problem that you’re trying to project onto the rest of society.

No, I'm providing a personal anecdote that some members of society that do have, or may develop, the same or similar problems are having both the (perceived) good and the bad aspects of those problems seriously magnified by this technology. This can have personal consequences, but also the consequences can affect the lives of others.

Hence, a certain % of the population will be negatively affected by this. I personally personally think it's worth raising awareness of.
