Is AI porn the next horizon in self-pleasure -- and is it ethical?

The AI revolution is well and truly upon us. As we grapple with the ramifications of generative AI in our professional and personal worlds, it's worth remembering that its impact will be felt in even the most intimate corners of our lives -- including our private browsers. Whether you're aware of it or not, AI is coming for the porn industry. Already, there are a number of new genres emerging which make use of generative AI, such as hyper porn, a genre of erotic imagery which stretches the limits of sexuality and human anatomy to hyperbolic new heights (think: a Barbie-esque woman with three giant breasts, instead of two). There are also various iterations of'gone wild' porn, a subdivision of porn which sees users attempt to'trick' safe-for-work image generation models like Dall-E into depicting erotic scenes -- and enjoying the work-arounds and euphemisms which these tools may use to avoid depicting explicit sex.
