Does it creep anyone else out that the first "AI actress" they're trying to sell is a very young woman? It could've been literally anyone else. This is a character who can't say no, can't lay down boundaries, can't say something is unrealistic. If they want to show her flying on Epstein's private plane or getting shot at school, there's nothing to stop them.
She also can't physically interact with a real person.
Watching "The Substance" and thinking that it would be better as a Black Mirror episode.
In fairness, if we took every pedophile on earth and slapped a GACHA game in front of them to occupy their horny energies indefinitely? I wouldn't hate the idea of alienating and commoditizing this particular corner of the population.
At the same time, there's definitely a Pete Hegseth tier mental disorder that comes out of being perpetually surrounded by women who can't/won't say no. Eventually, you're going to have people who immerse themselves in this video game put the device down and try to interact with the real world on the same terms.
Ai is really only good at creating young women because that's what 90% of headshots online are
Go browse image generation models up for download on https://civitai.com/. Even when you're not signed in, almost all the models are advertised with generated images of young looking women. And if you create an account and turn on not safe for work, it gets even worse because everything then becomes highly pornographic, because that's what people use the models for primarily.
That is what 95% of image/video generation is used for, creating porn for mostly young looking women.
So it makes sense that's what they're trying to sell here, not saying it's right or moral. Feeling creeped out is probably an appropriate response for many people
For me, I don't really care. Sex sells, that's how it's always been and will continue to be into the future.
Young + attractive + female = talented
