Definition[]
Generative AI pornography or simply AI pornography refers to explicit content produced using generative artificial intelligence (AI). Unlike traditional pornography, this content is synthesized entirely by AI algorithms, including Generative adversarial network (GANs) and text-to-image models.[1]
History[]
Generative AI entered the adult industry in the late 2010s, evolving from AI-generated art and visual content. By 2022, tools like Stable Diffusion enabled users to generate NSFW images from text prompts.[2] Despite warnings against misuse, open access to such tools sparked debates about ethical boundaries.[3]
AI-generated influencers[]
Generative AI enables the creation of virtual influencers on platforms like OnlyFans and Instagram, mimicking human interactions.[4] These AI personas raise concerns about authenticity and consent.
AI porn platforms[]
By 2023, platforms for customizable AI pornography gained popularity, allowing users to generate content tailored to preferences using prompts and tags.[5] These sites mix personalization with discovery, fueling discussions about creativity and ethical implications.[6]
Ethical concerns[]
Generative AI pornography has sparked concerns about misuse, including revenge porn and AI-generated NCII (Non-Consensual Intimate Images).[7] A 2023 study revealed 98% of deepfake videos online are pornographic, with most victims being women.
OpenAI is exploring ways to responsibly generate age-appropriate NSFW content while maintaining bans on deepfakes.[8] Critics argue such efforts risk normalizing harmful practices.[9]
AI Undress[]
In 2024, San Francisco sued apps enabling non-consensual AI nude generation, citing legal and ethical violations.[10] New laws aim to combat deepfake misuse, including mandatory disclosures and victim protections.[11]
Deepfake vs. generative AI porn[]
Generative AI pornography differs from deepfakes by producing content entirely through algorithms, avoiding real people's likenesses. In contrast, deepfakes involve modifying real footage, often without consent.[12]
