A very NSFW website called Pornpen.ai is churning out an endless stream of graphic, AI-generated porn. We have mixed feelings.

    “eh I’ll take a look”

    first thing I see is a woman on her back with her legs behind her head, smooth skin where her genitals should be and nipples in the middle of her buttocks.

    “alright then”

          I feel like we will start to see that more often. S complaint I see a lot here is that some people want extremely niche content that is very specific. If you have some people who get into those very specific poses and do those very specific things then run it through SD’s image to image feature you can make the person look sexy but have the same pose. The same way you have folks do mo cap for roles we might start seeing people specifically hired to do this sort of stand in.

      I think it is just a matter of time for the disturbing stuff to circulate. If people can create their darkest desires they will.

      Then cue debates and political campaigns about AI in general and if we should allow anyone or anything to create depraved images, pronographic or not.

      Weakling.

      I’ve been clutching so hard, the pearls fused into my flesh years ago. I’ve bankrupted myself buying more pearls, inserted one by one into my clenched fist.

      Luckily the mere sight of me - a lurching pearlescent beast with glinting pearls for eyes - causes clams to voluntarily offer their own in reverance, my own unending supply.

    People who insist on real flesh porn will ultimately be viewed as weirdo’s out of touch with reality like people who insist everything sounds better on vinyl.

      Why would I want to encourage the flesh trade where real women are hurt? And are limited to what humans are physically capable of?

      When I can have AI generated people who are able to do anything imaginable and no one gets hurt?

      They’ll be arguments that ‘once people get used to the fantasies they’ll want to try it in real life’ but we all know that that just isn’t true fr 40 years of video games. There hasn’t been any uptick in the events of people eating mushrooms and jumping on turtles or - what ever the fuck a goomba is -

      It went quite a bit faster than that. StableDiffusion has only been out for about 13 months and this started about three months after that with Unstable Diffusion. What this article is reporting on is already quite a few months old and quite a bit behind what you can do with a local install of StableDiffusion/Automatic1111/ControlNet/etc. (see CivitAI).

    “Are we ready”, in the sense that for now it’s 95% garbage and 5% completely generic but passable looking stuff? Eh.

    But, as this will increase in quality, the answer would be… who cares. It would suffer from the same major issues of large models : sourcing data, and how we decide the rights of the output. As for it being porn… maybe there’s no point in focusing on that specific issue.

      The actual scary use case for AI porn is that if you can get 50 or more photos of the same person’s face (almost anyone with an Instagram account), you can train your own LoRA model to generate believable images of them, which means you can now make “generic looking” porn with pretty much any person you want to see in it. Basically the modern equivalent of gluing cutouts of your crush’s face onto the Playboy centerfold, only with automated distribution over the Internet…

        Using a LoRA was the old way, these days you can use Roop, FaceSwapLab or ReActor, which not only can work with as little as a single good photo, they also produce better locking results than LoRA. There is no time consuming training either, just drag&drog an image and you get results in a couple of seconds.

          So how will any progressive politician be able to be elected then? Because all the fascists would have to do is generate porn with their opponent’s likeness to smear them.

          Or even worse, deepfake evidence of rape.

          Or even worse than that, generate CSAM with their likeness portrayed abusing a child.

          They could use that to imprison not only their political opponents, but anyone for anything, and people would think whoever is being disappeared this week actually is a pedophile or a rapist and think nothing of it.

          Actual victims’ movements would be chopped off at the knee, because now there’s no definitive way to prove an actual rape happened since defendants could credibly claim real videos are just AI generated crap and get acquitted. No rape or abuse claims would ever be believed because there is now no way to establish objective truth.

          This would leave the fascists open to do whatever they want to anybody with no serious consequences.

          But no one cares because they want AI to do their homework for them so they don’t have to think, write, or learn to be creative on their own. They want to sit around on their asses and do nothing.

              That’s not possible with AI-generated images impossible to distinguish from reality, or even expertly done photoshops. The practice, and generative AI as a whole, needs to be banned. They’re putting AI in photoshop too so ban that garbage too.

              It has to stop. We can’t allow the tech industry to enable fascism and propaganda.

            We’re going to go back to the old model of trust, before videos and photos existed. Consistent, coherent stories from sources known to be trustworthy will be key. Physical evidence will be helpful as well.

            Because that’s called Libel and is very much illegal in practically any country on earth - and depending on the country it’s either easy or trivial to put forth and win a case of libel in court, since it’s the onus of the defendant to prove what they said was entirely true, and “just trust me and this actress I hired, bro” doesn’t cut it.

      AI is still a brand new tech. It’s like getting mad at AM radio for being staticy and low quality. It’ll improve with time as we get better tech.

      Personally I can’t wait to see what the future holds for AI porn. I’m imagining being able to get exactly what you want with a single prompt, and it looks just as real as reality. No more opening 50 tabs until you find the perfect video. Sign me the fuck up.

      They suck quite a lot at genitals too. But what makes hands especially tricky is simply that they are pretty damn complex. A hand has five fingers that can all move independently, the hand can rotate in all kinds of way and the individual parts of a hand can all occlude each other. There is a lot of stuff you have to get right to produce a good looking hand and it is especially difficult when you are just a simple 2D algorithm that has little idea of 3D structure or motion.

      Some things I was able to put my finger on after looking at a bunch of the images in the feed:

      • It doesn’t do skin well, treating it more like a smooth plastic than a surface with pores, wrinkles, and fine hairs.
      • It doesn’t understand lighting, so shadows don’t agree with highlights or even each other.
      • It doesn’t understand anatomy. A lot of the images were fine in this regard but others had misplaced muscles, bones, and impossible limb positioning/truncation.
      • It has no idea how to draw vaginas. Nipples are also not well understood, though it does better on average with those. They still look more like a plastic than skin, but most of them were passable at least, while I didn’t see a single vagina that looked even close to right.

          Yeah, a lot of the vaginas on that site look like hentai vaginas. I can understand it more with AIs since vaginas have a ton of variance to them, so trying to make an “average” vagina will end up not looking like any actual one.

          But the artists that draw them like that just disappoint me (though with the caveat that I have no reason to believe I’d do any better if I were to draw that). There’s a ton of inspiration out there and many do an amazing job with the rest of the body, why do they make one of the important parts (for porn) look like an afterthought?

          Though the anime style ones aren’t as bad as some others where the AI seems like it’s trying to average boy and girl parts lol.

              Using a term casually rather than medically won’t affect the quality of AI porn. Though maybe ensuring it knows the difference between a labia, clit, urethra, vagina, and asshole will produce better results.

            To be fair, the focus of this era’s porn has hardly ever been the vagina, under any amount of scrutiny. A few aspects of sex in porn prioritized higher are, in no particular order: bounce, sounds, phrasing, setting, texture, animism/passion, power roles, etc. Hell, I’d rather that more effort has been made to visually hide prophylactic use than to focus on the vagina itself.

            I’m not in any way saying I agree with this, simply pointing out the facts as they are these days.

      The images on the site aren’t very good (typical low-detail airbrushed-look) nor are they generated very fast. See the examples here (mostly SFW) on what you can actually do, it takes about 15sec per image on a mid range gaming PC.

      That said, one big limit of current AI models remains: It’s always images of a single subject, it can’t do multiple subjects or complex interaction. Also facial expressions still always look quite bland. It can be worked around with inpainting and stuff, but plain text prompts have a hard time generating interesting images.

      You can change it to men, but most of the results are intersex(?) or outright women anyway. I guess the training data is heavily weighted toward examples of women.
