I have no idea how I would feel if someone used my face in fetish or sexual content. Never happened. It’d probably make me uncomfortable. But, I imagine I would be ok if I grew up in a culture where sex wasn’t as much of a taboo. Maybe I would find it flattering. My mental test for deciding whether something should be illegal or unacceptable is questioning if any one would see it the same if religion never existed. During #metoo I remember reading an article where the author was uncomfortable with the “drug fueled sex parties in Silicon Valley.” They basically didn’t want consenting adults to do drugs or engage in group sex. The argument against fetish content with AI generated characters reminded me of the #metoo author’s discomfort with the drug/sex freedom of the Bay Area. The article about Sora sounds like the author is uncomfortable with people generating fetish content, regardless of the content featuring real people or not. It’s sad that the liberals now include the prudes/conservatives.

I don’t think one is a prude or a conservative for not wanting AI generated porn of themselves to exist. I also don’t think one is a prude or a conservative for thinking there are consent and power issues around anything that commingles sex and the workplace. Things can be unacceptable without being illegal. Things can even be unacceptable without needing to be banned or privately controlled. My bar for what should be unacceptable is a lot lower than my bar for what should be illegal or privately banned. Making weird pregnancy fetish videos of real people without their permission is definitely unacceptable. I have no issue with the idea that anyone doing that should be shamed.

  I was pretty clear about my agreement with the real people AI fakes issue. And pretty clear on what I considered to be prudish. Would mind reading my comment and editing your response? Or you’re responding to someone else? Edit: the fact that the author is right to be uncomfortable with their face on generated fetish content, doesn’t make their stance on fetish content with generated characters less prudish. They can be right about one thing, and prudish about the other.
