I hope that the rise of machine generated porn, and other such content, leads to the realisation that it's all empty of value anyway, and always has been.

Then, millions of people will finally get back focusing on useful uses of their time.

No value?!?!? You anti-sex psychos are just nuts. Porn is both valuable and useful.

I'm happy that opinions like yours are the minority, and people like you are seen as prudish freaks.

That’s not how addiction tends to work, unfortunately.

Everything is addictive to some people. In the end, porn is entertainment, just like video games.

True. I think there’s an argument to be made that a market which seeks AI-generated content of specific people isn’t exactly looking for basic entertainment.

If traditional adult content isn’t stimulating enough that you need to seek fake video of $CELEBRITY, then that’s a pretty solid indicator that there’s a problem

Why would machine generated porn be different from, say, machine generated minecraft worlds? Both seem useful as a form of distraction and for entertainment to whomever wants to enjoy it.

Agreed, and that's exactly what it is. A distraction.

And distraction is a bad thing because humans can focus on useful things 24/7 while being productive?

If it's distracting you from important things, like being in the real world, forming relationships and building your life, then it's a bad thing.

When it's something like porn, which has no value and is highly addictive, then it's a bad thing.

Humans need sleep and can't focus on anything 24/7 for longer than a day or so.
