    Oh hey it’s me! I like using my brain, I like using my own words, I can’t imagine wanting to outsource that stuff to a machine.

    Meanwhile, I have a friend who’s skeptical about the practical uses of LLMs, but who insists that they’re “good for porn.” I can’t help but see modern AI as a massive waste of electricity and water, furthering the destruction of the climate with every use. I don’t even like it being a default on search engines, so the idea of using it just to regularly masturbate feels … extremely selfish. I can see trying it as a novelty, but for a regular occurence? It’s an incredibly wasteful use of resources just so your dick can feel nice for a few minutes.

      Now imagine growing up where using your own words is less effective than having AI speak for you. Would you have not used AI as a kid when it worked better than your own words?

        Wdym “using your own words is less effective than having AI speak for you”? Learning how to express yourself and communicate with others is a crucial life skill, and if a kid struggles with that then they should receive the properly education and support to learn, not given an AI and told to just use that instead

      Using it for porn sounds funny to me given the whole concept of “rule 34” being pretty ubiquitous. If it exists, there’s porn of it! Like even from a completely pragmatic prespective, it sounds like generating pictures of cats. Surely there is a never ending ocean of cat pictures which you can search and refine, do you really need to bring a hallucination machine into the mix? Maybe your friend has an extremely specific fetish list that nothing else will scratch? That’s all I can think of.

        He says he uses it to do sexual roleplay chats, treats it kinda like a make-your-own-adventure porn story. I don’t know if he’s used it for images.
