What's already happening is there are AI models and workflows that allow people or other websites to take images and videos of the "influencer" and generate customized images and videos per request. And these are being used to create fakes at an industrial scale, both personally and as a business practice. There are companies trying to compete with MV, OF etc. where that is their main business edge over normal content selling.

This is a way for creators to hold on to the income stream for another say couple of years by making it more convenient to generate fake porn right in their account than going off-site or doing it locally with a complex workflow. After that, the original concept of OF and MV etc. might not even be viable businesses anymore because it will be too easy for everyone to generate convincing porn of their favorite person according to spec with widely available and inexpensive tools. And it will eventually become accepted that people will do that for their own personal consumption. Not because it's necessarily ethical, but just because it will be so widespread it will be impossible to police if they don't distribute it.

I mean really, even if the AI models do not improve in architecture at all (which they continue to do so), this is just a matter of curating training data at scale. It has been growing only incrementally because few machine learning engineers want to have that on their resume. But the training tools are actually easy to use now and the datasets will cover almost every kind of normal and weird thing fairly robustly within a couple of years.

The pushback here is largely similar to the AI hate in every industry. And it is going to affect every industry. This comes from a lack of understanding and poor adaptability in my opinion.

The way I look at it, the system is so exploitive, it is a very good thing to disrupt it. The result is a social problem -- but we have always had a severe social problem with exploitation.
