Hmm, flagged already? I'm guessing it's not b/c the topic is uninteresting, but rather more attempted engineering of what HN is allowed to discuss. Let people enjoy things, indeed.. Whatever the case, this feels like someone with no skin in the game i.e. a non consumer of porn (Magdalene Taylor) speculating about the whole thing from an "disinterested academic" viewpoint. Basic things like: > One can easily google “hot women” and find a functionally endless supply of free visuals yeah, but are they the types of images that are of interest? The real advantage of generation is the ability to generate images with features of interest without having to search (some things are hard to search for - see any niche porn sub-reddit to see what kind of thing), even harder if in short supply. If the author can't imagine this, I'm not sure what they have to say on the topic..
