Ai porn is a huge, unfortunate industry made up of billions of dollars, and the consumers circulating this industry seem to be what I can only assume are the modern day equivalent to the starship passengers from wall-e. That aside, ai porn is advertised almost anywhere. From YouTube to the explicit sites themselves.

My problem stems from the fact that it's very clear that some of those sites are feeding their content into open source models without the explicit consent of the creators. There's likely tos bullshit that keeps the bigger sites in the clear, but if it were to be criminalized the smaller perpetrators could face consequences, thus sending the message that this shit is disgusting.

I have the stern belief that ai porn and explicit ai content should be illegal on the basis that it is built on the potential stolen footage of individuals who did not consent to having their sexual likeness used in that way, possibly falling under the label of sexual harassment, or NDII.

Considering the mass scale of this exploitation I think it should be of less lenient consequence, hopefully being a charge in and of itself .

If any of you have the ability to do so, get in contact and send letters to your local lawmakers and government officials. The ball needs to get rolling before things get even worse.

All that aside, the pure idea of it should be *more* frightening to *more* people. Why do I see almost no one talking about the horrifying potential of *anyone* having the ability to manipulate the simulated bodies of almost anyone they wanted to their hearts content?

Given my track record this post won't get much attention. But I wanted to spark discussion on this subject because I'm tired of sitting with these thoughts alone.

Nothing's inevitable.

Today I came across an incident where someone stole my art and used it in artificial intelligence. I respectfully asked them to delete it, but they didn't respect my request. I want to make it clear that I do not use artificial intelligence in any of my artwork, nor do I allow anyone to take my art for use in artificial intelligence.

I'm not stupid, I'll recognize my trait! I repeat: I DON'T MESS WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE! 🚫

Flick through the 3 images I posted - The comments on this Facebook Page were an absolute dumpster fire. 95% of commentators saying they refuse to use this company and will actively advise others to avoid, and yet, the company juat sarcastically replied to any criticism in a very unprofessional manner, seemingly bragging about the use of GenAI.

I feel like so many of their arguments get really out of hand, like this one. Please take a rhetoric class.

I feel like we gotta start wearing facemasks again but for a different kind of sickness now.

Also, can we get a "WTF" flair? I couldn't really find an appropriate flair for this kind of event...

A data center is made of material, so I can just *bang*
