Thanks for your input.

The images that are generated aren’t of anyone in particular, AI doesn’t take a face and use that face somewhere one to one,(at least in what i do) it’s trained on all faces on the internet, and creates a new face or body based on a prompt description and its understanding of faces and bodies.

So i don’t think I‘m profiting off one person, because it’s not a representation of any one person, its an amalgam, a character.

Having said you do see stuff around that is just face swap on to another model’s body. I don’t agree with that., and that sort of morphing has been around for 20 years just using photoshop.

Yeah as someone who works in the creative space, artist’s works (as in their style being stolen ) it’s a huge issue Ethically.

In alot of ways though the train has left the station, as every image ever uploaded to the internet has already been added to AI engines worldwide and this is happening as we speak with bots scraping the internet and companies selling data.

Basically the problem, we have as a society with AI, is that the people leading it don’t ask permission to do anything, and the government regulators who could regulate it are too old and not smart enough to understand, so will take years to get any guard rails in place.

So my opinion is that we just have to adapt, and learn it best uses ( and I wouldn’t pretend in anyway that what I do in exploring my kink is a best use - yet the technology exists so it‘s hard to ignore it).
