If you think about it, there are already tools that can do pretty convincing face swaps with few clicks and just from one low res photo at whatever angle. Long are gone the times you had to train the models for hours and had to have few hundred photos to just get "okay" fake. Once deepfake video creation becomes this simple, it is game over for porn industry.

Since why would anyone go into porn industry, when they can just use a tool to create lewd content of themselves if they are so inclined to make a living that way? And then it goes the other way around, why would anyone buy it if they can just homebrew it for free.

All in all, it is a good thing. Less exploitation of actual human beings and more power to "consumers". But then there have to be rigid laws against actuall AI porn dissemination, it should be illegal for anything else than private use unless actual consent to be used as source can be proven.

i make porn

i’ve spent thousands of dollars on camera equipment

i post it online, in 4k, for free, and there’s no way to pay me for the content

i do it because i like the exhibitionism (among other things)

i do it because in the sex-positive communities i prefer to associate with, it’s like posting your day to facebook

i do it because the camera pushes me to imagine new and interesting things to do

i do it because it helps me meet people with similar tastes that aren’t flakey and are equally sex positive and non-judgemental

there’s an enormous amateur community (that often becomes professional) that makes porn because they want to… money is a nice thing to help buy new gear for porn, but it’s not the primary concern
