Remember when we used to watch romantic movies and before we witnessed the first kiss on the big screen? Directors used to come up with new ways to show intimacy. Like two flowers brushing against each other, or the door gently being closed, or let’s just say you can hear the song Carless Whisper already. It was definitely creative and people 100% knew what it meant but we have moved way past that.

Today, we have an up-and-running pornographic industry that generates revenue. And like every other industry you can think about, it is progressing and developing with time. The pornographic industry has become huge and artificial intelligence has also managed to enter the adult industry.

With the advent of AI in the pornographic industry, you can experience better and more immersive pornographic videos. Recently, text-to-image generators were also transformed into AI porn generators after Stable Diffusion was open-sourced. There’s so much going on around AI and porn, and there are many reasons that tell us how AI will transform the porn industry. Here’s how AI is being used in the world of pornography.

There’s so much going on around AI and porn, and there are many reasons that tell us how AI will transform the porn industry.

Experiencing porn in VR headsets

VR technology is now increasingly being used. VR tech was primarily used in the gaming world, and in the medical field, and now with the metaverse slowly coming into our lives, VR will surely play a bigger role.

The first VR porn was created in 2014 by Ela Darling, an adult entertainment actress. Naturally, as compared to typical screen-porn viewing, VR porn gives you a more interactive and immersive experience. According to a study conducted in 2020, VR porn produces a more positive experience for viewers.

Websites offer 180-degree, 360-degree, and POV (point of view) perspectives in the VR porn category. You can imagine the experience VR porn can provide if you have used VR headsets. Now, with VR gaining popularity, everything around it will also rise up. On the other hand, VR porn gives users a more interesting option to choose from rather than just watching porn on their screens.

The AI-powered sex toy

VIECI, a sex toy company developed an AI-powered oral sex simulator. Autoblow AI was created because the company that the industry was more focused on giving women high-quality toys as compared to men. The company also claimed that this sex toy was, “the first ever device that uses artificial intelligence to replicate human sexual techniques”.

In order to achieve this, data scientists working on creating this toy utilize six days of porn to train the AI algorithm in replicating oral sex. This toy was accessible to underage people and was also misused to exploit and assault women.

How PornHub and other websites incorporate AI on their website

Similar to how OTT platforms suggest users new content to watch depending on their interests and what they have previously watched, porn sites also do that for their viewers and this is done through AI. PornHub has also used AI tech to tag around five million actors’ names in their videos. It has also developed a system to make the categorization of videos simple. PornHub also used facial recognition technology to identify the faces of professional actors.

These are some uses of AI that are done on many platforms and porn sites have incorporated them as well.

PornHub also used AI technology extremely creatively in the industry. In May 2021, PornHub introduced its Remastured project where the company utilized machine learning to fine-tune around 125-year-old porn movies in 4K. This project also featured the first-ever kiss shown in films from The Kiss, 1896.

The harm of deepfakes

With the incorporation of AI in the adult entertainment industry, you can also see a rise in deepfake images. Through AI, people can easily replace the face of actors in a video/photo and it has the potential to be used for harmful purposes such as blackmail.

Recently, an application came into the limelight where when you feed a “fully-dressed” image to it, it processes and undresses the image for you. Fortunately, this application was banned because people were misusing it but unfortunately AI is evolving, and very soon many such applications will come into the limelight.

Celebrities are time and again harmed by deepfake pornography and they are in fact very vulnerable to attacks like these because their images are publicly available in good quantity. Today, you can still identify whether an image is a deepfake or not but with time, as technology gets better, more people can be targeted and the quality of results will also improve.

AI-generated porn won’t address the ethical issues of the industry

The creator of the website This Person Does Not Exist, Phil Wang developed a system called GAN to produce images of people that don’t exist every time you refresh the page. Now, the people in these images don’t really exist and they are generated through an AI model that is trained on many images.

So, if you want the system to generate nudes, you have to train the model with the appropriate data. Nonetheless, the naked images that belong in the dataset are of real people and the use of their images may or may not be consensual. This means that while you may think AI-generated porn will reduce abuse in adult entertainment, it won’t. In fact, it may lead to actors losing their jobs.

Also, since this content will be created using AI, one can create videos that are violent and extreme and fulfills the creator’s wildest fantasies which certainly won’t have a positive impact on our society.

New AI text-to-porn generators

In 2022, we saw many AI-generated text-to-image generators shining at the headlines. Open AI’s DALL-E, Stability AI’s Stable Diffusion, and many more joined this list.

This also allowed people to come up with AI porn generators. PornPen is a text-to-porn generator that allows you to generate pornographic images of women by selecting different tags. A discord-community Unstable Diffusion, that offers monthly membership options consists of porn enthusiasts who are creating a more “reasonable community” to work with the wider AI community.

The use of AI in porn is still in the grey area looking at the harm AI-generated porn is causing to the adult entertainment industry and society. There are a lot of concerns that are revolving around AI technology in the porn industry and once they can be addressed lawfully, they will be encouraged in the industry.
