Tell HN: Patreon banned AI porn, I lost 5K subs without warning

Hey HN, about a year ago I launched my AI porn site on Hacker News [1] and it reached the top of the front page. Initially, the site was free to use. I got a ton of traffic and was overwhelmed - I ended up shutting down the site. Dozens of users told me they would pay for the service, so I set up a Patreon and re-opened the site. Users could pay for "Pro mode" for additional benefits on the...

> Porn. It's always porn.

I posted about my AI porn site pornpen.ai here last year and it reached the top of the front page. And yes, it's still going strong :D (and we've integrated SDXL and videos recently)

Good question. I figured that many people who come to the site will just press generate right away without realizing you can choose tags. When 0 tags are selected, you get weird results. So I wanted to make a good default selection. But maybe a better option is to force users to select some tags first, and start empty?

I'm working on it! In the meantime try the search feature, there are tons of pre-generated images to search through.

I think what happens is that in the early stages of generation, the model picks up on arm-like structures and just keeps building it out. It doesn't realize that the overall structure will be flawed later on.

Creator of pornpen.ai here, looks like this discussion is ramping up again! Wanted to respond to some of the points made here and in the article.

The grotesque images: Simply put, the model is not good enough yet. This will improve over time as the models get better.

Diversity/male gaze/heteronormative: Generating men and other genders did not yield very high quality results unfortunately, so I didn't include it in the initial launch. I am also manually fine tuning the prompts, so it was easier to pick one category (women) and go with it. I hope to expand this in the future.

Sex workers: I do agree with the quote in the article that this will not replace sex workers (at least for now) in the same way that I don't think dalle/midjourney/stable diffusion will replace illustrators. In the future, I believe this technology could create a new category of sex worker that can generate content without using their own body (similar to VTubers).

It's harder to say what will happen in the future though. If these models keep improving at this pace, I think these types of discussions will be more important. Let me know if you have any questions!

Sorry, sometimes it produces really strange results :P

Sorry, I'd like to add all genders but currently the model only produces quality results for women. Hopefully that will improve going forward.

Hey HN, I've been working on https://pornpen.ai, a site for generating adult images. Please only visit the site if you are 18+ and willing to look at NSFW images.This site is an experiment using newer text-to-image models. I explicitly removed the ability to specify custom text to avoid harmful imagery from being generated. New tags will be added once the prompt-engineering algorithm is...
