       | How is this different than the status quo? Pornography is already
       | a commoditized. I personally believe that people will pay for the
       | parasocial interaction. Sure, AI will increase the amount of free
       | content slop, but the amount of free content slop was already
       | overwhelming. People will continue to pay more /because/ they
       | imagine they have some kind of relationship with their favorite
       | camgirl or vtuber.

         | Not just as a parasite using somebody's pictures or videos, but
         | by the object him/herself. Instead of talking to one person,
         | you could talk to 1000 and each of them sees you wearing
         | whatever they want, and generally doing whatever artistic
         | behaviours they want to see - and have the impression that they
         | have your full attention. I expect this will further push the
         | attention towards a few, who will get very rich.

         | Yes. You could write an extension that uses a LLM to read HN
         | headlines and hide the ones that talk about AI disruption.

       | This is already happening. I know someone who's making an adult
       | game in Twine for fun, and they use AI images for just about
       | everything because they're not an artist. They say while there's
       | inconsistencies, it gives them more freedom to depict what they
       | want without the high cost of hiring an artist for near-photo
       | realistic digital painting. From what they've told me, they're
       | not alone in jumping on the idea and there's a wave of Twine porn
       | games using AI images. And some even go so far as to mix in real
       | people with AI generated depictions of them to fill in the gaps
       | for the desired content.
       | 
       | Most people would disregard such things because they're just
       | "stupid games for perverts" and not think about the impact, but
       | if such things get normalized in adult gaming it's bound to
       | spread out from there. Normalization is normalization no matter
       | where it starts from, after all. A major concern of mine is that
       | somebody creates images for such a game, and the images and
       | content are based on a real person that the game's creator
       | personally knows. If the game gets traction, that person's
       | privacy would essentially be gone, and their sense of identity
       | would be shattered because they aren't a public figure. There
       | have already been instances of teenagers using AI image
       | generators to create fakes of fellow students in order to
       | blackmail them or just enjoy for themselves.

       | Interesting how porn seems to run with technologically 2-3 years
       | ahead of other "industries". This is nice if this leads to less
       | exploitation of humans ... bad if this leads to more social
       | isolation / depression.

       | whether it qualifies for flagging.
