An opinion expressed on social networks has sparked an intense debate on comment forums in Japan, by openly pointing out that the artificial intelligence (AI) that can generate illustrations based on user instructions, currently “only serve for pornography” or “to make erotic content.” The original publication, which quickly became a trend, raises a deep reflection on the use that is being given to these emerging technologies.
In the publication, the vulgar, childish and disgusting use of generative AI is questioned. It is mentioned as being used to strip real women naked and spread them over the Internet, to generate erotic voices from female voice actresses and make them speak obscene dialogue, as well as to steal artists’ designs and sell them as erotic illustrations. The question that arises is whether this type of use really represents a significant technological advance.
Although the progress that AI has represented in various fields, from art to medicine, is undeniable, unfortunately, as the publication highlights, the bad uses of these technologies have been highlighted more than the good ones. The ability of AI to generate visual and auditory content autonomously has opened the door to a series of ethical and social dilemmas, especially with regard to privacy, intellectual property and respect for human dignity.
This debate reflects the need for a broader and deeper discussion about the role of AI in society and the responsibility of both developers and users in its application. Meanwhile, controversy continues online, with conflicting opinions about the true scope and implications of these emerging technologies:
- «Technology and eroticism will always go hand in hand».
- «Yes, yes they do».
- «I think it is used for many other things.».
- «I prefer that to them being used to make weapons.».
- «History shows that war and pornography have developed technology».
- «Eroticism and war are essential elements for technological innovation».
- «And the convenient internet we use now. It was popularized by pornography».
- «AI should be used to create a world where there is no more conflict and everyone can live prosperous and happy, but I don’t know how to make use of it with a brain the size of mine».
- «Movies, VHS, computers, DVDs, games, internet, smartphones. I think they all involve porn in their development».
- «Good luck getting them to ban learning without permission, they aren’t regulating it fast enough so they can do whatever they want».
- «If you only think it’s used for pornography, it’s because you’re just searching for that on the Internet.».
- «The developers were baffled that Japanese users only used it for pornographic purposes».
- «Even on X (formerly Twitter), which this guy uses, uses AI in many of his ads».
- «It is the right kind of technological advance to satisfy people’s desires».
