AI porn is scary dangerous. You're not afraid enough of it. (might be triggering)
NSFW and spoiler flairs because this topic may be triggering for some, idk.
I haven't seen it being talked about much around here so I decided to speak up. For the last three years or so, due to the sophistication of generative models, two scary dangerous activities involving AI have become very available, NSFW AI chatbots (which already existed, but not as refined as they are now) and AI porn generation. This is orders of magnitude worse than regular porn by the fact it can perfectly align with one's cravings or, specifically with the chatbots, serve as a loophole to maintain contact with porn.
I'm not here to judge those who talk with chatbots in general because there are tons of actually cool ones which can provide safe fun and role-playing, but it's addicting. And because of that, for those who are trying to quit porn, the NSFW ones may hit like a truck and get them to sext with AI's for hours. Nowadays, most chatbot websites only require you to sign in and you can talk for as long as you want with hundreds of thousands of SFW and NSFW chatbots without paying a cent. The loophole here is that you're most likely not watching porn (or maybe you are, because some of them have image generation), but you're still satisfying your lust in a way. You're still cheating yourself by sexting with bots which will fulfill your fantasies without questioning. I strongly suggest treating it as a relapse if you ever come across it.
AI porn is even worse. It's made-to-order porn, and the sophistication of AI's made them cheap and devilishly good at fulfilling the task. Like the chatbots, most of the porn generators only require you to sign up and you can generate porn as you want, usually for free. Can you fathom the danger behind this? Something that can, in seconds, create a porn image or video of your immediate craving? This is scary dangerous for those trying to quit. And just how regular porn has its "dark side" (because it's already disgusting by itself) of frequently exploiting women, search it up and you'll find AI is being used to make porn of real people, even minors (!) without their consent. This is criminal and disgusting.
In conclusion, AI porn is dangerous, and it's going to get worse due to its growing availability and sophistication. NSFW chatbots might get you to cheat on yourself by keeping contact with porn without the imagery, and the image gen is made-to-order porn ready to fulfill your lust. It's a hard time for those trying to quit, and it will get worse. Whatever you do, stay away from AI porn. Don't even peek at it. You're not afraid enough. Stay strong and don't give up on your journey.
