People have been freaking out about AI lately. But should they? Is there really anything to worry about? Yeah, there is, even in porn.

Economist Richard Baldwin said, “AI won’t take your job. It’s somebody using AI that will take your job.” Those were powerful words, and they are something you should really think about.

Artificial Intelligence isn’t going anywhere. It’s going to become part of your life, just like the calculator became part of everyday life. Many years ago, people had to calculate things by hand. Can you imagine?

Today, we think of the calculator as commonplace is sliced bread. But when it first came out it was a huge issue.  Did you take jobs? Not really. It just made the job of those who used it a whole lot easier.

Artificial Intelligence is like that. It’s not going anywhere, but it will change the way we do things, and yes, that even means in porn.

But before you start freaking out, let me quote the now-infamous Ben Afflick chat about AI.

Speaking at CNBC’s Delivering Alpha 2024 investor summit, Affleck has also voiced his support for AI but said that it cannot possibly replace “human beings making films”.

When asked if AI should be perceived as a threat, he said:

“Movies will be one of the last things, if everything gets replaced, to be replaced by AI. 

AI can write you an excellent, imitative verse that sounds Elizabethan. It cannot write you Shakespeare. What AI is going to do is going to disintermediate the laborious, less creative, and more costly aspects of filmmaking that will allow costs to be brought down, that will lower the barrier for entry, that will allow more voices to be heard, that will make it easier for the people that want to make ‘Good Will Huntings’ to go out and make it.

“That’s how large video models and large language models basically work. Library of vectors of meaning and transformers that interpret it in context, right? But they’re just cross-pollinating things that exist. Nothing new is created.

AI for this world of generative video, is going to do key things more, meaning – I wouldn’t like to be in the visual effects business, they’re in trouble. Because what costs a lot of money is now going to cost a lot less. And it’s going to hammer that space and already is and maybe it shouldn’t take a thousand people to render something but it’s not going to replace human beings making films.”

One day there will be AI porn movies but not today and not anytime soon.

Let me show you why.

This is an AI-generated image of Sophie Dee. She looks amazing, right?

That photo may appear wonderful but here’s the thing. Sophie Dee looks nothing like that anymore. That photo was trained on a dataset of Sophie Dee photos from 10 years ago.

She’s aged. Improved and looks very different today. This is what she actually looks like today.

This is one of the flaws with AI. A person ages. A person changes her hair color and hairstyle. A person might get a tattoo or 10 of them. She might get breast implants.

And that will make her look different.

AI can only imitate what it’s been trained on.

Sophie Dee is a real person, so she’s going to change. She’s going to age.

And AI can’t account for those things (just yet).

The first image I showed you based on what Sophie Dee looked like 10 years ago looks great. But as you can see, she doesn’t look like that anymore, so just how relevant is that AI model of Sophie Dee today?

AI video generation is even more complicated and that is one of the many reasons why the technology isn’t quite ready and may be one of the last things that is affected by AI.

You are not likely to see life-life realistic recreations of porn stars in video for many years to come.

Is it possible? For sure. One day. But not today and not anytime soon.
