don't know what i hate more; people or ai
Definitely people, AI doesn't do anything by itself, it's a soulless tool.
I understand what they're saying.
Like, I hate Blockchain and NFTs. But both are just souless technologies in their own right.
Lol, What to hate worse, the people or the shit they make us all go through? 🤔
I'm trying to be a more understanding person, but goddamn
Brother…what.the.fuck…? What kind of degenerate BS is this?
Meanwhile they remove "billionaires shouldn't exist"
Glad I deleted my meta account.
I don't like this sentence
I'm so tired of this fucking timeline, man.
Several timeline rating agencies have rated this timeline in the bottom quartile.
Steal content, use AI to pretend the model has down syndrome, sell paid fanvue videos (because onlyfans is stricter with AI).
Chat, I don't even
What a horrible day to read and comprehend the English language
This made me laugh and laugh. Thank you
That... Is certainly a way to combine words together.
what a brave new world we live in
There is like 3-4 different progressions of awful here. Im going in the woods with a stick
That's not a combination of words I expected to see today.
Difficult to know what even to say about this. It might be legal? But it is a deep violation of the social contract.
It's promoting the fetishization of already deeply marginalized and possibly easily exploited people due to their genetics.
This is going to create a subclass of gooners who want to groom and exploit the mentally handicapped in real life which is definitely illegal.
You're probably right, but this feels an awful lot like a 'violence in video games will lead to violence in real life' argument.
While I don't disagree with you, what if the violence in the game in question was specifically against people with Down's Syndrome? I think that may bring it a little closer to being equal - in terms of the analogy, anyway. I don't think the big problem here is the AI porn necessarily, so much as the fetishization of not just a minority, but one with an impairment. (Which I think is only further compounded by said impairment being largely cognitive/developmental in nature, as well.)

While I do wholeheartedly agree that promoting fetishization of marginalized people who are vulnerable is despicable, evil, and just about any other pejorative you can think of--but it's a thought crime.
It's not illegal to create digital art (even the disgusting kind) which depicts fictitious grown adults doing grown adult things.
I would argue that if any such subclass of degenerate could exist, then they already do exist. You're not creating this subclass and any claim of expansion of such a subclass would be anecdotal at best and bullshit at worst. If they're out there they're out there. It's a chicken and egg problem. Which came first, the pornography or the degenerate?
We have a constitutionally protected right in this country to freedom of expression and that right cannot be infringed simply because you believe that it could lead to more people being taken advantage of. The right to that expression must be protected regardless of how repugnant you believe the resultant actions are. As history is shown any number of times the restriction of any right is a slippery slope in any capacity. There's a quote by Noam Chomsky which is particularly relevant here;
If you believe in freedom of speech, you believe in freedom of speech for views you don't like. Goebbels was in favor of freedom of speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you're in favor of freedom of speech, that means you're in favor of freedom of speech precisely for views you despise.
As a society we need to strongly condemn these actions, and we need to ensure that the most vulnerable among us are absolutely protected. But as soon as you start making thought crimes illegal you open the door to any number of machinations. How long before the extreme right use that precedent to start prosecuting individuals for other thought crimes? I would bet my last dollar it wouldn't take very long...

I feel complicated about AI porn in general, but I'm not even all that offended about somebody with down syndrome having an onlyfans, provided they have the cognitive function to understand those actions, and I certainly have met individuals with down syndrome who do.

Capitalism breeds innovation
AI? Oh good. I’ve been seeing this “down syndrome baddie” content in thumbnail form and just sort of threw my arms up like “2025 things I guess?” There was that video going around last year about a woman with Down syndrome talking about how she wants to go out and drink and be a club rat that everybody was applauding, so I figured this was the natural next step.
Give a person with down syndrome alcohol? I'd rather feed a Gremlin after midnight
“Hey bartender… you don’t serve me a margarita, so I don’t drink a margarita…”
I’m a bartender. You’re damn right I won’t, and good. I’ll grab my boss if the issue ever comes up and they can handle that one. Haha.
