The comments on the images are hilarious. So many (lonely?) men suckered in.
Stuff like this just doesn't scale well for IG (and similar services).
At some point, it will be trivially easy for everyone to make hundreds of such fake profiles and then IG will be inundated with it, drowning out the real-world content.
Though IG has a strong recommendation algorithm. If a user stops interacting with AI generated posts, it will stop recommending them. So you could be in a recommendation algorithm world with 0 AI generated content if you were able to discriminate well enough against AI generated posts.
The “AI” is just the visual stills. A human still has to craft the strategy, write the content, feed the model new fashion and generally be “influential”.
My partner is a professional photographer with large brand beauty clients, so I know all to well the extent of change from the raw image to the final release... To me, its a fine line, and just because some monkey wants to toy with photoshop as a career doesn't mean they can ignore all ethics. More so after all we have learned about the FRAUD of self worth and body image being pushed on young people, particularly young women.
People also look slightly different based on lighting and makeup. I'm guessing a LoRA trained on someone's face would be enough to get it consistent. Considering that people can make fakes with celebrity faces fairly consistently, I suspect the same technology can be used here.
There's probably someone sitting and picking out output as well, to get the best ones that keep with the desired image.
One of the tricks is to mix and match genders of known celebrities. E.g. A portrait a model that looks like Female Robert Downey Junior and Male Kim Kardashian.
Generation will be kind of consistent but still unrecognisable.
many would far rather be entertained by an AI than pay an actual human (woman) for company
many people view the latter as failure, while viewing the former as just entertainment no different than buying hentai manga or adults only computer game
same with placating their partners. “Oh this onlyfans is just AI there is no woman I’m interacting with”
and there is an exception to Section 230 immunity where site operators can be liable for user generated content if its possible a human was sex trafficked, obvious AI that is erotic doesnt have this problem as there is no human, leading to a more favorable business environment
I can see it being impossible to compete with very quickly, especially if the AI is always saying the right things and producing content quicker
It seems AI porn is its own niche at most. It's not replacing anything, mostly just feeding negative training data for human GAN, for both generation and discrimination.
Ageless, no complaining, no whining, no crying, just working overtime 24/7.
I wonder if this will create a boom and replace influencers except for those who do live shows which this wouldn't work for until robots arrive trying to do this.
The dystopia is moving fast and cheapening every industry.
Meta’s already added their own versions with celebs to instagram. The pictures of the people are not AI-generated but all the interactions are with a chat bot.
> influencer agency The Clueless was only inspired to design her because they found real-life models and influencers too unreliable and difficult to work with.
No strikes. No opinions (refusal to appear with other content). No diva behavior. Just a cog doing what’s expected.
It may be some years off but eventually video content will move toward synthetic actors and actresses. Some real actors will remain but will be a minority. People still go to see live plays.
Problem is that it hollows out the middle and all that's left is either expensive niche stuff or mass produced synthetic crap. Wood furniture is a good example today.
It's doing the same thing with employment and society in general.
Hollowing out middle class jobs and the middle class itself. And as we see, it won't stop there. Doctors, Lawyers, Programmers are all on the chopping block as well.
That is historically quite ironic given how cottage industry was the early industry before factories disrupted them. Of course you could call work from home coding cottage industry too.
Saying it another way: it will not work for most people and/or companies. D̵o̵n̵'̵t̵ try this at home.
