Ok, but why would anyone bother training AI on porn? Seriously, I don't understand

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Gen AI porn and shitposts are the only 2 decent use cases I've seen of gen AI.

You can't make half of those without training it on porn.

Just to add I've seen a full 10 second clip of AI gay porn and it was very, very realistic, with only some minor things that set it off as fake. It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid I'm cumming to clankers now.

At this point, I'm betting you don't hear news about image models as the cutting edge is in anime titties and celeb nudes.

An article I read when this came up a couple of months ago said that basically porn was the best way to show AI unclothed human movement. Watching clothed humans move, you can get the basics but can’t see how the muscles are working. If you show it a Hollywood movie, they might see occasional shirtless scenes or artfully lit and blocked out sex scenes. Porn has the greatest amount of naked people moving their bodies.

Heh. Also what Spock said while "training".

Video generation, copyright matching, CSAM detection, those are just the first few that pop into my head.

Have you not heard that everyone is now doing NSFW chatbots? Meta is just trying to catch up with Grok and Chatgpt

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Grok probably has sex abuse fantasies because it was trained on NYtimes best selling literotica

I've heard about that. I just don't really understand why would anyone waste their resources on it. AI training is too expensive to waste it on that.

Have you looked at the porn industry?

sweeping gesture

I mean, FFS, sex is everywhere. 🤌🏼

Its the best datasets for human anatomy.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

probably for the AI to learn how to detect NSFW content???

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah. Sure. That's where the money is. Yup.
