How do you feel about AI generated (porn) content?

[That other person]

I’m totally for AI — in every way. I see zero reason not to use tech for the heavy lifting, whether it’s art, writing, or anything else. That said, I don’t think AI-generated content is quite “there” yet for truly professional-quality work.

Of course, it also depends a lot on the target audience. If you’re aiming at people who’ve never had sex in real life, then maybe a pair of giant cartoon boobs will do the trick. But for anything beyond that, quality and nuance still matter a lot.

I don't think having sex or not matters lol, people still have preferences on breast sizes regardless.

Also what would be the "heavy lifting" exactly? Because for some the heavy lifting is actually putting effort. Proofreading in writing is a help, yes, checking for typos, sure, but writing the story is not something you have to let the AI do. Mixing in music might help too especially for smaller musicians on a budget. But using it too much leads to that laziness, which is why we have what people call "AI slop". I would not call all that is made this way slop, but unfortunately a lot of it is, which doesn't help.

Again, I see it as a tool, not a replacement. You used it to polish your game, art or fix some stuff, smooth things out? Great. You had the AI make the entire thing? Nah. Unique sound, art and story still matters.

Just as an example, many games have DLSS. Many use that instead of even caring about optimization, which ends up with games falling apart on computers that have all the requirements to play them on the best quality possible, messy framerates, and an overall worst performance. So they fix them by patching the game over a period of time, which already shows they could have done that before. An issue that could be avoided most of the time if they also worried about optimization. It's why you can't just say "fuck it, the AI will do it".

The very fact AI exist has actually made me love actual artists much more due to how unique they can be, so I'd rather have the artists.

I see you're a real natural sex haver, so if i understand you correctly, experienced people who've had sex in real life with females get off to realistic porn and not cartoon giant boobs?

 

[suprisedcrankyface]

So what do you think about AI generated content? Do you prefer pictures coming from an actual artist or do you not mind having an computer doing the heavy lifting?

Poll needs another option... its currently yes/no/dontcare but there are many people who think its a good tool if used correctly (and a blight if not).

the problem with AI CG is the skill level for entry is now at rock bottom, and we are getting flooded with shitty art.

Its a tool as good as its user, and most users resort to AI because they cant actually create the image any other way (i.e. they have 0 talent for art).

I’m totally for AI — in every way.

So far, I've been on this path, too.
And I'm curious about the future.

Right now, AI just isn’t mature enough to deliver the level of control and consistency you need for top-tier production.

Quoted for truth.
(Even though it can leave us with an interesting artistic impression sometimes.)



"Ohhh... your cock hand feels so good!"

From personal experience , I know this is not (always) true.
And I know other 'experienced' non-incels who agree with me.

Nah.. i think experienced people are more demanding in general.

 

[aikotanaka6699]

All for it. Most AI don't look quite as good now, but it'll only get better

 

[KlioKli]

I choose "i do not know". There sure is that generic Ai arts that all feel the same, even the color palette... That sure gets boring after a while. But when something looks hot i do not mind if it is AI stuff or not.

 

[balitz Method]

Whatever else can be said about it in other contexts - and there's a lot to be said - with porn specifically it's just godawful boring. No generated image has any sense of what's supposed to be erotic about the scene it pumped out and that shines through more than the overly-glossy 'AI textures', the weird lighting, or the way it really only has one way of depicting anything it's told to portray.

Like look at this image that was posted above:


Nevermind that they appear to be in a padded cell or that the angle of the bed makes no sense or that there is a bench on the bed. Just look how sterile and sexless this is. Sure, their features are exaggerated and sexualized, but there's no sense that sex is happening here. She's impassively staring at the viewer (this is a hallmark of generated images; the focus subject will pretty much always be staring toward the 'camera' unless directed otherwise) rather than reacting in any way to anything that appears to be happening to her.

This is how they're all built. They're done in pieces, so what's happening in one area will have no real ripple effect on another area. If you tell it to include an expressive reaction, it will just copy/paste that reaction. The images the OP posted showcase this; it's always that same attempt at an ahegao-esque reaction. With actual eromanga artists their ahegao faces are very diverse and nuanced to the point where people can pick out individual artists by them. In generated images they express nothing; they're a stock piece that always looks the same so it's exactly as dull as the impassive default neutral AI face.

They top out at being half-decent nude figure generators. When it comes to making them portray actual situations they can't even get simple things that are necessary to convey eroticism right; there are too many unspoken relationships between objects in a picture that's meant to turn humans on that can't be guessed by probability algorithms. Porn that isn't erotic is just dull.

 

[KlioKli]

Yeah, that image is rather creepy than erotic indeed. And i agree with your other points as well... I think AI would need a long way to create something erotic on a reliable base.
Although i think it can be a handy tools, especially with games... Sadly it is rather badly used, just some slammed AI art and texts that feel super generic.

 

[balitz Method]

They'd be more useful to produce variants. Like if you can only afford a couple of portrait pictures for your characters the programs could give you a few other expressions. Or if you need some variant tile sets to keep environments from looking too samey.

The ones that come off as slop are the ones that put it front and center when they're really better as hole-fillers.

To comfort you a bit , that pic did not arouse me at all either.
It only made me laugh hard.

There is 'real life porn' that makes me laugh too, though.
Both in pictures and vids.
But, especially in clips/vids, if the funny bits are done well, and if the scenes (actors) offer variety, then I will keep watching. (My favourite actress in this 'genre' has always been Eve Laurence.)
But AI pics like the one above... well... ...

The other point, about porn that is or isn't erotic... if porn is not really erotic, I am still able to use my own fantasy to create a more erotic and arousing story around it. Especially when the female actors/characters turn me on. I do realize though that this makes me a lucky dude. Because I'm not always dependent on what the porn itself has to offer.

 

[KlioKli]

Fantasy plays a big role here indeed. Like i prefer to imagine myself in the Ladies place. So if she looks that joyless it is rather a turn off. I think there is a fine line between "still allowing some good fantasizing" and being a turn off.

But in my humble opinion that goes for both real life porn and AI generated porn.
There are plenty of vids and picture galleries in the real life category that look like an 'obligation' job, too, alas.

 

[KlioKli]

True that. But "non AI" things being bad as well is not a good "excuse" for AI things being meh as well. I am sure there can be many sexy things done with it. Sadly it is easy to mass produce content with it...

I hear you.
But AI is in progress.
So maybe it will get better.
There are already examples of more involved looking AI generated models.

Adding to that: when a 'real life actor/actress' looks not involved, it's actually more worrying.
And, let's not forget: when watching porn, there are plenty of people who mostly wanna see big cocks, big boobies, bodily fluids and all the other usual suspects.
I won't even deny that, in many cases, I'm one of them.

But, at the moment, for the final 'release' I personally still switch to real life porn/erotica. The times I lost my bodily fluids while watching AI generated porn can be counted on one hand. I mostly use it to 'warm up'. And, I admit: for me, the artificial staring into the artificial camera lens can be a good begin to start a(nother) cuckold fantasy.

 

[KlioKli]

Those are really good points and i agree to all. That is why i choose the "don't know" option. I think AI Art has a lot of potential and it would be shame if it would not be used, just because it ends up some cheap alternative. Especially in the gaming sector one could create personalized stuff.

 

[MissCougar]

I have never been able to get off to anything AI yet. Not that it might not happen in the future somehow! I am always looking for the weird things in them, or just generally both admiring what a computer program can do while also scoping out how clean or muddled or slightly off it looks.

AI does a great anime head and a great anime penis though. I dare say its penis capabilities are top notch.

You'll probably have/will get off to AI art without knowing it's AI.
If someone tells you "Hey, this is AI" of course you'll be more interested in analyzing it. If the most hated person in history drew something, everyone would try to find fault in it, when the same drawing done by somebody else would be well received.

The real issue is when you can tell something is AI, without prior knowledge. That means something is off, and way before you can get "off" to it, you'll start noticing details that'll ruin the experience.

Anything is possible! Though admittedly I do not actually get off all that often at all, and even rarer for some game to do it... so I think just by the numbers I know in my head the chances are verrrrrryyy slim to none.

I am working on it though so we'll see.

But I do play with AI myself also so there is that.

 

[KlioKli]

If there are just "minor" details off i rather can overlook them... And i think already did. Sometimes i do not pay that much attention when there is the "need" for some content.
What bothers me more is how similar a lot of things look. Often it is the same glossy look, the same kind of colors. I tend to ignore those.
