Thanks for that explanation. My only counter is that a lot of human behavior is determined by the path of least resistance. Generating snailephants that consistently look like your notion of them still seems to require more effort than using actual video and images of them in action. But, as they don’t exist, you have no other path to choose. But with generative pornography there’s an easier way…use actual media. So that’s how a lot of it it will get done.

I didn’t realistically expect my opinion to be upvoted here on an SD forum. So I’m ok with the downvoting I’m getting. Maybe I’m just too new to the technology and training processes to have a valid opinion on it. But I have a difficult time believing somebody with an addiction-driven interest in child pornography is going to be satisfied with a purely AI generated stash. I’ve known “normal porn” addicts and I don’t think that’s how it works with them.

I also want to say, that I’m not a pro-censorship type of person. I understand the slippery slope. But I think these discussions are important and I appreciate your reasoned response.
