Controversial take:
A lot of porn production, from 'borderline softcore' like a lot of Instagram, to OnlyFans, to professional filmed hardcore, is some combination of shady/gross/exploitive.
...I will not complain if that industry gets smashed by AI.
As for the 'corporate control' aspect, all this stuff is racing towards locally run anyway (since 'free' trumps all in the porn market). DrawThings on iOS is already incredible, and that's a massively unoptimized app in its infancy.
This isn’t refuting your point at all, but if we complain that porn gives young men unrealistic expectations for sex now, wait until they can generate literally anything and that becomes their new normal for their expectations.
(To be fair, they’ve always been able to do this if their imaginations were big enough)
Right now they have real human women insisting to those men they love being choked and treated like shit all so those woman can make a buck.
There is nothing worse than that.
The Ai is fake. It is better.
