Pornographic use has long been the "break glass in case of emergency" for the LLM labs when it comes to finances.
My personal opinion is that while smut won't hurt anyone in of itself, LLM smut will have weird and generally negative consequences. As it will be crafted specifically for you on top of the intermittent reinforcement component of LLM generation.
- estimator7292 8mo agoWhile this is a valid take, I feel compelled to point out Chuck Tingle. The sheer amount and variety of smut books (just books) is vastly larger than anyone wants to realize. We passed the mark decades ago where there is smut available for any and every taste. Like, to the point that even LLMs are going to take a long time to put a dent in the smut market. Humans have been making smut for longer than we've had writing. But again I don't think you're wrong, but the scale of the problem is way distorted.
- MBCook 8mo agoThat’s all simple one way consumption though. I suspect the effect on people is very different when it’s interactive in the way an LLM can be that we’ve never had to recon with before. That’s where the danger may lie.

- viraptor 8mo agoYou could commission smut of whatever type you want for quite a while. And many people do so. Even customised smut is not new. It's just going to get a bit cheaper and automated.
- azan_ 8mo agoYou couldn't talk to commissioned smut. Of course you could request changes etc. but the feedback loop was nowhere close to what you can get with AI. Interactivity is a very big deal.
- goodmythical 8mo agoThere are absolutely people getting paid to roleplay smut in chat sessions and have been doing so at least since original Second Life and likely since the dawn of chat.
- flarn2006 8mo agoSounds like an improvement then. If people have more freedom to enjoy what they like how they like it, I see that as entirely a good thing.
- intended 8mo agoAt the degree of generalization you are working at, yes. More preference matching is a good thing. This is spherical cows territory though, so its only good for setting out Birds Eye view of principles.
- formerly_proven 8mo agoThere are several large platforms for interactive 1:1 or 1:few smut in various media forms. “LLM enthusiasts” have been using smutai for a couple years now. Smut generation is probably on of the top three reasons for people to build local AI rigs.

- cal_dent 8mo agoi've always wondered how much the increasing prevalence of smut & not so niche romance novels, that have proliferated since e-readers became mainstream, have had on Gen Z and younger's sometimes unrealistic view/expectations of relationship. A lot of time is spent on porn sites etc. but not so much on how mainstream some of these novels have become
- cluckindan 8mo agoThey had similar wonderings in the Victorian era, and probably in the Roman empire and ancient Greece too.
- Gud 8mo agoBut you don’t think there are big differences?
- Lerc 8mo agoWell they are vastly more aware of the notion of consent now.
- fc417fc802 8mo agoThey might well have been right - I'm no anthropologist. Certainly they had neither the quantity nor ease of access that we do.
- kuboble 8mo agoYes, human nature hasn't changed but there is a reason why only recently obesity epidemic has developed. Cheap unlimited access to stuff that was always scarce during human evolution creates an 'evolutionary mismatch' where unlimited access to stuff bypasses our lack of natural satiety mechanisms.
- cluckindan 8mo agoThat is completely discounting the effects of PFAS and plasticizers on the human endocrine system and the downstream effects on obesity.
- bakugo 8mo ago> The sheer amount and variety of smut books (just books) is vastly larger than anyone wants to realize. We passed the mark decades ago where there is smut available for any and every taste. It's important to note that the vast majority of such books are written for a female audience, though.
- monksy 8mo agoI want smut that talks about agent based development and crawdbot to do dirty dirty things. Does that exist yet. I don't think so.
- indrora 8mo agoBest I can do is [1] Sentient Lesbian Em-Dashes and [2] An AI hallucination made real for now. The man's probably thinking something up though.

- Cthulhu_ 8mo agoThey wrote a book about it too, "Slammed In The Butt By My Hugo Award Nomination".

- measurablefunc 8mo agoPeople are already addicted to non-interactive pornography so this is going to be even worse.
- jjmarr 8mo agoI can do as much smut as I want through the API for all SOTA models.
- josephg 8mo agoI don’t know if this is still the case, but as of a year or so ago OpenAI would suspend your account if they noticed you using their models for this sort of thing. They said it was against their TOS.
- bpavuk 8mo agotrue, but: 1. you have to "jailbreak" the model first anyway, which is what's easier to do over API 2. is average layman aware of the concept of "API"? no, unlikely. apps and web portals are more convenient, which is going to lower the bar to access LLM porn
- subscribed 8mo agoWhy llm smut in particular? There's already a vast landscape of the interactive, VR games for all tastes. Why LLM is supposed to be worse?
- josephg 8mo agoI think the argument is that it’s interactive. You’re no longer just passively reading or watching content. You can join in on the role play. I’m not sure why that’s a bad thing though.
- subscribed 8mo agoSame with games as compared to videos, especially VR. Feels like someone angry at the machines capable of generating a tailored story.
- bandrami 8mo agoWhatever reward-center path is short-circuiting in 0.0001% of the population and leading to LLM psychosis will become a nuclear bomb for them if we get the sex drive involved too.
- fragmede 8mo agoRealtime VR AI porn will be the end of society, but by then, we'll also have the technology to grow babies in artificial wombs, which is also going to end society as we know it, since we won't need women any more (by then, we also won't need men for the DNA in their sperm to make babies either, which cancels out). Of course, if we don't need women or men, who's left? What's this "we" I'm talking about? Why, the AI's after they've gained sentience, of course.
- UltraSane 8mo agoI'm waiting until someone combines LLMs with a humanoid robot and a realdoll. That will have a lot of consequences.
- gehwartzen 8mo agoI can already see our made to order, LLM generated, VR/neurolink powered, sex fantasies come to life. Throw in the synced Optimus sex robots… I can see why Elons making the switch from cars. We certainly won’t be driving much
- spicyusername 8mo agowhile smut won't hurt anyone in of itself "Legacy Smut" is well known to cause many kinds of harm to many kind of people, from the participants to the consumers.
- PunchyHamster 8mo agoI guess technically it will make some onlyfans content creators unemployed, given there is pretty large market for custom sexual content there.
- BoredomIsFun 8mo agoFor those interested in smut I'd recommend to use local Mistral models.
