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"

Once again pornography is setting unrealistic standards for women.

Great, more man made horrors beyond comprehension

if xkcd was right about jpeggy porn being niche, i'd bank on terrible AI porn becoming a niche in the future too.

I personally can't wait for AI to cause a thotmarket collapse.

But then who will you treat like shit?

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.

Fast forward 25 years past the first Ai war and a ragged but triumphant humanity must rediscover the lost art of waxing.

At what point was porn NOT graphic, but now this thing IS GRAPHIC. Are we talking all caps, or just a small difference between the live stuff and the AI shit? Inquiring minds want to know.

"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.

When I first heard Stable Diffusion was going open source, I knew this would happen. The only thing I'm surprised at is that it took almost 2 years.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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).

Not sure how people will be so into this shit. It's all so generic looking

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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...

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (17 children)

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.

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.

Does it say something about society that our automatons are better at creating similated genitals than they are at hands?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

It says that we are biologically predisposed to sex, which we are, like animals, which we are.

It doesn't say anything about society, it just confirms the human condition.

Went and had a look and it’s some of the funniest stuff I’ve seen all day! A few images come close to realism but a lot of them are the sort AI fever dream stuff that you could not make up.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Ai has no ficks to give to people who are not ready.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Meh. It's all only women and so samey samey. Not sexy IMO, but I don't think fake is necessarily not hot, art can be, certainly.

AI porn for the longest time has just looked so off to me, idk what it is

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, so many humans drawing porn don't understand anatomy or what vaginas look like. It's hard to train when your input data is already bad.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tbh, if people don't know the difference from a vagina and a vulva, I don't expect AI to do a great job generating any good porn.

I am a little surprised that no one had created a site like this for child pornography.

I am not a legal expert, but my layman's understanding of Ashcroft v Free Speech Coalition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashcroft_v._Free_Speech_Coalition is that as long as there is no person being harmed by it CSAM is legal.

Maybe later rulings have changed this. One can hope.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

CivitAI is a pretty perverted site at the best of times. But there's a disturbing amount of age adjustment plugins to make images of children on the same site they have plugins to make sex acts. It's clear some people definitely are.

I remember reading that this may be already happening to some extent, eg people sharing tips on creating it on the deep web, maybe through prompt engineer, fine tuning or pretraining.

I don’t know how those models are made, but I do wonder the ones that need retraining/finetuning by using real csam can be classified as breaking the law.

Hentai maybe. But realistic shit is 100% illegal, even just making such an AI would require breaking the law as you'd have to use real CSAM to train it.
