Adult entertainment may be customized on demand thanks to generative AI
Porn has always been a pioneer in implementing new technologies. The Erotic Engine author Patchen Barss claims that without adult entertainment, “there’s a very good chance that the VCR might never have taken off.” Many technological developments, such as the transfer from HD DVDs to Blu-ray and the simplicity of online payments, can be compared to this.
Go to the present. Some have attempted to discredit AI adult entertainment services by claiming that they are tricking their clients into believing they are dealing with real people. Nonetheless, many users are aware of what they are getting, and they claim that those who criticize AI-generated porn miss the point of how customized and available it is at any time.
According to this article, Tommy Isacs, a co-founder of Pornderful, claimed that AI porn “unlocks a realm of fantasies, delivering tailor-made and personalized adult content at the click of a button”.
Personalization satisfies a basic human desire.
“Our users can explore unique scenarios or preferences that can’t be found in traditional adult content, fulfilling their exact desires”, he said. “Who would ever believe that within 10 seconds, you could generate naughty images of the girl of your dreams?”
When you press a button, AI porn effectively offers endless variety, unlike human porn, which is dependent on studios and actors. “You can start with a model fully clothed and make her evolve, rendering her naked, change her lingerie, change her outfit, place her in different sex positions”, John Rabbit from AI-Porn explained. To him, it’s “like an infinite realistic video game that evolves in real-time with the community”.
Additionally, Rabbit views AI as a tool to help balance the scales—not just in the sex industry, but also generally speaking in terms of human interaction needs.
“AI porn is the solution for sexual misery. Because we are living today a massive change in relationships. Dating apps and social networks ruined the chances for an average guy to meet women”. John says. He went on to explain that women have access to a lot of potential interests, which makes it harder for the average man to compete against richer, more popular competitors. “AI rebalances things”, he said. “Guys can now create their own virtual woman to compensate for this lack of relationship“.
This instant gratification of sexual fantasy explains the appeal. PornX claims that their research demonstrates that consumers are motivated to pay for AI-generated content due to their specific tastes and that this is where the money is. These preferences can be completely fulfilled in the form of an AI-generated image.
“AI will definitely redefine economic models in the adult entertainment industry by enabling new revenue streams and reducing production costs”, a PornX spokesperson explained. “Now we are very interested in expanding our marketing strategy and would like to include more premium content, partnerships, and advertising”. At the moment, the platform depends on Patreon to receive funding from its users.
For many of these platforms, the question of profitability is one of when rather than if. “The adult industry will be seriously in trouble when it is possible to generate your own interactive porn movie with AI. It’s a question of time”, John Rabbit from AI Porn said.
Generally speaking, the enormous amount of GPU power needed to make images is the most expensive aspect of these startups’ operations. When enough money is made to cover those expenses, the company turns a profit.
But sometimes, a line needs to be drawn. There’s a reason why the porn industry couldn’t handle many of the particular appetites that AI can satiate. It’s arguable if using AI to gratify dubious or sinister cravings is good or bad. But can the same case be made against AI porn if games like GTA or Call of Duty already allow players to enter a world in which they can become mass killers and enjoy doing so?
The answer will vary depending on the user’s legal system. The majority of the world’s jurisdictions regard hypothetical NSFW AI images as legal. If any children are depicted, this is different. Playing games with the law is risky, especially because certain US states have already taken steps to outlaw the activity.
All AI platforms have significant filters to prevent this. The most typical techniques to balance workaround keywords include prohibiting hundreds of keywords. As prompt hackers develop creative strategies to get over filters, this process is continuously curated. They may be barred from the platform if that is found.
In addition to this, deepfakes and revenge porn carry a risk. Only three U.S. states had legislation specifically addressing deepfake pornographic content in February 2023, even though 48 states and Washington, D.C. had made revenge pornography illegal as of 2020. According to reports, those who are subjected to these edits feel humiliation, dehumanization, dread, worry, and other negative emotions.
AI essentially opens the doors to internet undressing by enabling the ability to inpaint and alter the appearance of an image. It is quite simple and takes only a few seconds, and most of the time, a banner, similar to the ones that allow a 12-year-old to click “I’m 18” and access the entire catalog of the biggest porn suppliers on the internet, is all that stands between a malicious user and a deepfake nude.
The entire undressing scene has divided actors’ opinions on the industry. “People have to differentiate deepfake from AI-generators because it’s
not the same thing. Deepfake is illegal. Ai generator is not”, John Rabbit explained. But other sites think that such services can be useful if proper guardrails are set. “Imagine undressing someone you love and lost, or changing clothes of an unpleasant photo”, the administrator of a Telegram bot that supports inpainting and deepfaking said. “all services have risks and businesses should provide limits to make sure they are being properly used”.
Deepfaking is replacing the faces of individuals with synthetic faces generated using a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). Further, using Deepfakes the original information that humans were present in the scene is kept in contrast to
inpainting, where individuals are completely removed and the missing part of the photo is filled in a way that is visually consistent with the background.
Many well-known Stable Diffusion models with NSFW capabilities were developed by DucHaiten. He thinks technology has the potential to completely transform the adult market. “I always laugh at the problem that AI will replace humans; AI will kick humans out of their game. It’s all bullshit; AI is just a tool”, he said.
In his opinion, AI porn may improve human-produced entertainment rather than replace it.
“Imagine the actors becoming more beautiful; they can transform into fantasy characters without makeup; the film lighting will be more beautiful; the camera angles will be more beautiful; the realistic context will be larger”. He highlighted how artificial intelligence enables low-budget porn movies to match the caliber of high-end Hollywood productions.
“I would definitely like to see porn movies like that”, he said.
“The flow of porn content consumption will be changed forever”, Users won’t have to look for what they want to see; they will just make it, according to Tommy Isaacs of Ponderful. In the adult industry, AI appears to be driving innovation. The technology is ready to open up new creative opportunities while potentially heightening ethical problems if used improperly.
Some people could see echoes of “Brave New World”, a book by Aldous Huxley in which civilization satisfies itself with unending artificial pleasures. But behind the artificial comforts of his dystopia, there is a yearning for the authentic and significant.
“Fewer and fewer men are engaging in those risks, and I think AI and the combination with sexbots, is going to create an industry where men start having relationships with algorithms and dolls”, Scott Galloway, a professor from NYU, said in an interview for The Diary of a CEO podcast.
In the end, one fundamentally human desire—the need for real closeness and connection—remains irreplaceable. No perfect AI utopia can ever replace the chaotic, frail reality of being human. And maintaining humanity may be our greatest problem in a world where algorithms are obscuring borders more and more.
The advent of personalized AI porn raises complex questions about its impact on real-world relationships. While customized erotic content caters to unique desires, it risks promoting unrealistic expectations for intimacy. People may find it harder to be satisfied by imperfect human partners if they are accustomed to frictionless AI fantasy fulfillment. Some could become trapped in erotomanic obsessions with imaginary AI personas. However, for others, exploring unconventional erotic themes through AI could provide a safe outlet for taboo interests they are afraid to openly seek. Technology offers endless possibilities for living out private fantasies. Yet it cannot replace the messy sincerity of human bonds. As with any powerful new capability, society must weigh AI porn’s potential to both expand and impair our humanity. Its perfect artificial pleasures highlight the ultimate need for real understanding.
