The Future of Mom/Son Erotica [and erotica in general]

[HeyAll]

[this isn't a criticism/attack by any means, it's the future of things]

Someone retweeted a mom/son story I posted. When I looked, right away I knew the account was a porn account, because it had a female name with numbers at the end. What kind of self-respecting woman is going to retweet a HeyAll taboo story, right? They only read it privately.

Anyway, I glanced at the profile, clearly not a real person. The account links to an Instagram account in the bio.

So I clicked the link:

https://www.instagram.com/jessieanderson85

Each picture has comments on her beauty and smiling/heart emojis and so forth.

The issue? These are AI images. On the twitter account there's mom/son suggestive comments as if she's the mom tempted by her son. Do men want to be fooled or they really don't know?

Imagine where this is headed in 5-10 years. I don't have a strong opinion one way or another. Sign of the times.

Where is all this headed? Maybe I'm glad that I'm probably too old to see the culmination of it. One possibility is a dystopian world with elements of Blade Runner and The Matrix as examples. The real and the artificial will be mixed together and no one will be able to know where the boundaries are. It's also possible that people who grew up with this will find it normal.

Or maybe Skynet will come and destroy it all.

Some will “write” stories using AI and there’ll be other AI pretending to “read” it, same for pictures and videos, and I don’t get what anyone gains from this nonsense. I’m more fan of old-fashioned analogous in-person sex anyway

 

[SimonDoom]

The only thing I'm confident about with respect to "where things are headed" is that I have no clue.

I remember when the Internet first exploded onto the scene in the mid-90s I had certain ideas about how it would change things, and I was mostly wrong. Other than certain baseline predictions, like "AI is here to stay and will grow in influence" I think it's hard to know what changes it will create.

We write stories of "ideal" porn acts for others to read as a fantasy!

It's the same as "romance novels" which women read about some unrealistic ideal relationship, or superhero comics and movies, where people can escape in a fantasy of someone having unnatural powers to defeat evil.

What you're describing is just another form of fantasy escape for the masses, in a different medium, with a different artist. In the case of AI, the "artist" is a team of geeks programming the computers, and others directing that software toward producing a ever more realistic CGI character. We've been seeing the same thing with the evolution of Virtual Reality with more realistic avatars growing better as time goes on.

The entertainment industry is evolving, just as movies evolved past the need for live stage plays in theaters.

It's not about being "fooled". But there will always be a few who will put on a cape and jump off a roof thinking they can fly, or send their life saving to the Nigerian Prince!

Darwin is still evolving.

Nah. We're two years away of 2027, so Deus Ex: Human Revolution is our future, except with far much more inequality, and a further divide in society if my thoughts about Neuralink are correct. Thankfully we don't have mechanical augmentations (as of writing of this post), otherwise it'd be much worse considering how current technology is using us instead of us using it. People are also painting Elon Musk as the real life David Sarif even though he is more like Bob Page, and Eliza Cassan is what we now call algorithms, but fake news with AI had been made, and everyone, regardless of political affiliation, consumes them all without thinking it twice.

Hmmm...

How many times do I look around to see people staring at their cellphones to find their answers to a question, or asking "Siri" for how to respond to someone else's question?

That cellphone may as well be implanted in their head. And with earbuds, some people don't even need to look at their cellphone. Just touch the earbud and ask; "Siri, what's the answer to ...?" then listen to that quiet voice in their head.

That future is closer than you think!

Precisely what I said: technology is using us instead of us using it. There's already brooches in the market that offer LLM capabilities, and I especulate they aren't secure. Imagine the havok it would cause if it was an unsecured implant instead. 2 years for 2027. Ready your floral trench coats.

All of this is true, I suppose, but that's what humans do. Maybe we're more suited to being hunter-gathers as we were through most of our existence. Hardly an easy life, but agriculture had unexpected affects, like the creation of human hierarchies. Well, its a little late to change that one, although I would miss my morning corn flakes.

This guy wrote a book about the effects of the industrial revolution in the 19th Century. His subtitle: "The Industrialization of Time and Space." Life is full of trade-offs.

By the way, what is supposed to happen in 2027 as mentioned above?

Well, I'm too old to have first-hand knowledge of this, but dating apps have become the main way people meet nowadays for that sort of thing. There seems to be widespread awareness of their problems, but that hasn't stopped people from using them. There's a chart somewhere that I have to dig up. Maybe I'll comment again later.

I think someone got the year wrong from the first Bladerunner movie, which was set in 2019.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is set in 2027 A.D.

I was just using the movie as an example of a dystopian AI society. The fact that it's difficult to tell a replicant from a real human is probably why I mentioned it.

Okay, it's a video game I never heard of. Interesting that triangles seem to have symbolic importance in these things.

There's still time for us AI-controlled autonomous sea mines to fill the oceans, plunging us into the Cyberpunk 2077 timeline. Heck, there's still time for us to turn over all supportive functions to the Frame, eventually leading to the ultimate destruction of our species and a whole series of metal operas.

Well look at '1984'. Orwell had so many things correct but even he never imagined that Big Brother would not be something forced upon the people by an oppressive, authoritarian regime, but rather BB would be welcomed, sought after, purchased and attached as if it were a part of the body, tightly clutched by it's addicts! Winston Smith was able (or so he thought) to find places to hide from BB's eye. In truth, BB goes everywhere with the person. Skynet? Will be welcomed. Within 5 years we will have full size sex-bots with the Tesla logo. You already cannot know whether what is on TV is AI or not, or what you hear is AI or not. Mark my word - LE 5 years - sex-bots indistinguishable from bio-humans.

Mark my word - LE 5 years - sex-bots indistinguishable from bio-humans.

I should note that I wrote a story - my only sci-fi on here - about a future female android. I admit I lifted the idea from an old Rod Serling Twilight Zone episode. "The Lonely." Yet she is not truly a "sexbot" because even though she's pretty affable, she has a distinct personality of her own. She does't even look that extraordinary. In the end, the convict she is given to decides he prefers the give-and-take of dealing with a "real" person instead of being with somebody who blindly obeys him.

As for people in general, they do rebel against controls that become too tight. Big Brother was based on Josef Stain. After his death, the Soviet Union loosened up somewhat. But later it collapsed almost overnight. I'm not fond of Putin, but he is nowhere near to being as rigid as the old system. So I have do have some hope for the future.

By the way, I don't think Tesla is going to be around in the 22nd Century. The company that created the android I mentioned is the fictional Zola Corporation, headquartered in Long Island City. Don't ask me what Queens will look like in 2114, because I didn't describe it.

Yet another example of the future [non-porn example]

Well if it's any consolation, most of the followers and commentors are bots as well.

But the sad reality is that media does in fact warp perception and change habits. And as someone who was catfished some time ago, the reality is that men (especially where i come from) are horny fools of the highest order and will seek gold when there is only glitter.

But such is life. Every generation feels the one after it is worse. We can't help but worry about the future because we realise as we age how little is actually in our control.

What's your evidence for this?

 

[calmlikeabomb]

What's your evidence for this?

Until recently I was the head of marketing for the consumer facing vertical of a FAANG peer company. We did extensive analysis (using both traditional tools, as well as propreitery AI tools) to analyze follower behaviour for instagram influencers and popular accounts across multiple geographies, including Americas.

Active female profiles (1 or more posts a day, more than 1000 followers) in the age demo 18-45 (both influencer and non influencer) showed a bot follower ratio of about 40-50% pure bots (ie machine operated bots) and another 20-30% human bots (ie actual humans paid to engage). While the human bots made an effort to diversify their interests to appear genuine (eg: following big brands and local brands and celebs, as well as small niche influencers) to mask their behaviour, machine bots were less discerning, especially those following fashion/beauty influencers, and the cheaper ones (ie out of South or South East Asia, and parts of Latin America) would invariably default to following "soft erotica" accounts. The comments were dead give aways as well, for example, Human bots could follow different scripts, but defaulted to a standard pattern over a longer period of time, even over disparate categories, while machine bots showed recognisable patterns in the short term, that improved over the long term as AI kicked in. This research was about 18 months old, and I can only assume things have gotten worse.

TL;DR:

Marketing head for a large corporation with access to elite minds and big data.

Interesting. I wonder how many of our story "views" here are now AIs.

 

[8letters]

I think that as AI improves, our ability to detect AI improves. If you watch movies from the 60's, they'll show actors "driving" a mountain road by having them sit in a car while mountain road scenery is shown on a wall behind them. It may have fooled moviegoers in the day, but now, it looks ridiculously fake. Similarly, green screen scenes of today would probably fool moviegoers twenty years ago, but so often now it's obvious that it's a green screen scene. AI can generate pictures of pretty women that will totally fool people not aware of AI can do, but as I know what AI can do, I can spot them pretty well and it now pisses me off when people try to pass them off as real pictures. "Uncanny valley" hits so hard because the smallest mistakes really stand out to aware viewers. In the Nanny video HeyAll posted, I immediately recognized the voice as a program reading a script. It didn't take me long to realize that all of the pictures were generic stills. It didn't fool me at all, but then again, I knew to look for the subtle signs of a hoax.

OTOH, there will always remain the power to believe what you want to believe despite obvious evidence to the contrary.

Where are we headed? A little bit of Demolition Man, little bit of Idiocracy, lil bit of Ex Driver, lil bit of 1984, a lil bit of Terninator, maybe a lil bit of Repo, and possibly a lil bit of Cyberpunk 2077 and Futurama.

Where are we headed? A little bit of Demolition Man, little bit of Idiocracy, lil bit of Ex Driver, lil bit of 1984, a lil bit of Terninator, maybe a lil bit of Repo, and possibly a lil bit of Cyberpunk 2077 and Futurama.

I'm just afraid, from what I've seen, that it's more Idiocracy than all the rest combined.
