I'd suggest that if you think AI porn is anywhere near the real thing, that's probably because you think porn is already slop in the same way that these AI bros think of code or creative writing or whatever other information-based thing you already know AI can't do well.
Porn isn't slop, people aren't just interestingly-shaped slabs of meat. Sex is fundamentally about interpersonal connection. It might be one of the things that LLMs and robots are the worst at.
Wanking is about the emotional connection to a JPG, said someone I deeply pity.
Who wouldn't pity those who make do with a lossy compression image format?
I do not need lossless copies of an image someone didn't even draw.
Who was that? I said sex is about interpersonal connection. I didn't learn that from porn, I learned it from sex.
I trusted the audience to understand that good porn or erotica in general should be about portraying that connection in some form, which is what is actually hot about sex, but maybe I gave you too much credit.
But hey, if sexuality to you is really that shallow, you're free to pity me, because I put absolutely no stock in your opinion.
Most porn is definitely slop.
Most commercially produced media is slop. Porn isn't special in that regard.
That doesn't mean porn is somehow specially devoid of artistic merit. Done well it can be beautiful and meaningful.
You've got a stereotype in your head that was put there by a misogynistic culture, but that's not inherent to the genre.
Not everyone is there for the interpersonal connection. Some really are just that base and pathetic.
Having said that, seeking personal connection (or just sex) is a mistake in this age. Best to learn to let go, and get used to suffering.
