Is your porn real?

Do you care? Should you care?

The various AI image generators can create all sorts of pictures. These include deep fakes. Your face on a nude body, being arrested or perhaps even wearing something unfashionable. People that don’t really exist being presented as if they were real people.

The issues here are around purposeful deception to cause harm or wrongly profit.

But what if there was no ill intent or deception?

If you had the choice of buying erotica with real people (that may very well be heavily doused with cosmetics, have undergone cosmetic surgery, or lightly photoshopped as is common in the industry) and buying erotica of entirely fictional people who never existed, which would you chose and why?

Is that you want to support models financially?

Or, that you don’t want models to be exploited?

Or, that if they are real people, do you have hope or, for that matter, a dread of bumping into them in real life?

Or, does it not matter to you at all: photons are photons?

And what would J Geils Band say?
