Someone had a fun writing assignment lol
Goddamned Shakespeare!
Legitimately true too. People think of Shakespeare as this high class author, but no. He wrote for the common person. This is actually something he'd write if he were alive today.

Its not often that playboy.com is a valid source for technology news...
I read it for the articles!
The BIG ones ? I presume
It’s not about the size of the article, it’s about the rhythm of the rhetoric!
I like big articles and I can not lie.
I understand, you can fully immerse yourself in it and everything around you suddenly becomes black 😂
All articles matter...
Small articles are more direct to the point .

I definitely think it’s worse.
There’s a lot of very unrealistic hentai body proportions trained into the models.
Even the AI upscales are generally worse. I prefer Bluray quality 4k porn as much as any guy, but I'd prefer to watch a pixelated 480p than 99% of upscales which look like rotoscoped animation.
Frame interpolation is pretty good. It can take a 10fps gif and interpolate to a pretty good 60fps. The color and resolution is still crap, though.
I found it amazing that even gooners have standards. I've noticed in general they hate AI-generated hentai and still prefer porn animated by humans.
You have to consider them like art critics.
They’ve put in their ten thousand hours studying the material. They’ve found their niche and subcategory. They don’t want to see that some generic rehash of the same pose or whatever, they want something with an opinion, that makes them feel something, and where you can look at it and see the genius behind it.
So it doesn’t surprise me they’re averse to slop.
…or so I’m told anyways.
Its impressive how passionate you are about this Topic despite being an outsider.
Worse. Wtf does ai know about Mac and cheese sounds? Dont get me started on the shitty anatomy
Judging by the amount of content online, I’m guessing it knows quite a bit.
I mean this in the sense that it probably has a giant data set to learn from.
If you are speaking about experience, then nothing.
This is why I only watch porn made by small businesses owners.
There's stiff competition. Good for the consumer.
stiff competition
The AI porn cannot pass for real porn that I have seen.
Everyone thinks they have good gaydar because they can spot the ones they can spot.
I was thinking that just as I posted. Can anyone provide an example, like a piece of heterosexual porn because I don't want to watch the other type, that is AI that looks real? Just out of curiosity.

easy bet, it’s always worse, you might just not realize why yet
Rule 34, a maxim that everything imaginable has been portrayed in porn, has now been taken to its logical extremes.
Not yet, it hasn't.
Vic Lagina, who was a lead producer and director for the porn production company Brazzers for 16 years and is the author of Filthy!: The Rise and (Pending) Death of Vic Lagina, welcomes it. “As a former business owner in porn, the prospect of completely eliminating humans from the equation in porn production would be extremely enticing,” he wrote in an email to Playboy, celebrating an end to “self-serving attitudes of performers, … questions about revoked consent despite whatever rigid protocols are in place, … bad hygiene, … and waiting for wood from a shaky male performer” before concluding: “It sounds like a dream.”
huh.
A producer hates their performers? Say it ain't so.
They mostly love money
That more an indication of how horrible producers can be and how this mentality is exactly the same in Hollywood. Tom Cruises character in tropica thunder is a direct representation of these people.
More like Lic Vagina, amirite?
More fingers. That's better or worse depending on what floats your boat.
I mean...if it stops the exploitation of the "stars", that's a net positive. There's some horror stories out there.
The part where people are trademarking their likenesses and partnering with AI companies to maintain control of their image is nice. It never even occurred to me the possibility of porn stars to be part of the AI layoff steamroller, but this is essentially it. Why hire you for more when we can generate more?
I also liked that the AI partners gave them creative control over their likeness and the ability to turn down certain prompts that violate their consent. Going to grok as a workaround to still get to see someone do something they aren't comfortable with is really messed up though.
The article ending with the long term implications of AI pornography blurring the lines of consent for some people due to the nature of on demand anything goes at the click of button mentality developing is a take that is never thought I'd read in a playboy. This article was really a great read.
I'm fine with ai porn if it actually looks like real people. This weird obsession with anime bodys as if they exist in reality is, well, weird.
meh. I have yet to see ai porn that was all that good.
