I see your points, but I was thinking about the future,
Deepfakes are hard to make NOW, but that will change. As I see it, there will be a time when producing porn will be pretty easy for everyone, even non-technerds. I can see it with SD now, a few prompts and porn comes. I use a faceswap and the porn is automatically my favourite face, 50% successrate. In the future those will be videos, and I guess we can choose the ingredients for that soup. Choose the cock, the boobs, the faces, the fetish, click "go" to produce a video that is better than the best real stuff of today.
Of course they are fake. They are not reel. THat is pretty important too and that will never go away. But I feel ai-generated porn as a fetish is already there and more and more people will explore this. AI Porn will change our societies in ways we can hardly imagine. Most people might want porn with real humans, but some will like artifical stuff more. Just imagine you could fill your favourite "model" with an AI "soul", that learns individually what you teach it. Millions will fall in love with that. And some people will like the idea to offer themselves to that. And regarding celebrities... I can hardly imagine that they can protect themselves from that. They will try. They will fail. Then they will learn to accept it. But maybe I am wrong. Let's talk about this again in ten years
Im an older guy, but I guess even I will live to see at least a part of that future. Let's see if that will be utopian or dystopian. I guess both.
I doubt it, government and companies are cracking down on deepfake porn, if it will be possible to make porn at home (talking about realistic porn, but not celebs), then porn industry with lobby against it, you will never ever be able to do celebs (big AI models needed to do video require a lot of compute power, no company ever will invest as much money to train an NSFW equivalent of Sora and make it free and open source, it just won't happen ever unless these video AI models become very light to train but doesn't seem like that's will be the case, the trend for new models is that they are getting a lot more complex and larger and with size comes how taxing they are on hardware and how much of said hardware you need to train them in terms of compute power and memory). Even now generating exactly what you want with Stable Diffusion is very hard, if it was a matter of writing prompts or feeding it an image and telling it "animate it how I want it" then we wouldn't had need so many of those other tools we need to make something even close to what we want and 9/10 times you generate something you get garbage, be it with 1.5, SDXL, Cascade or 3.0, all of these models still have issue generating complex images, there is no doubt thing will continue to improve, but when it started you had to be a very technical, then it got easier, but as we kept trying to improve it, it again became very technical, you pretty much can't make a good image using prompt alone and a base model provided by SD which also might be dead soon as the company is in trouble (they are loosing lots of money, not making much, failing to secure investment and recently several important/key employees have quit the company, they are facing issues with copyrights in their training data, SD might soon be dead) and competition is quite ahead (talking mostly Open AI as they are the biggest player right now).
If it ever comes to a point where one will be able to generate perfect porn video using AI, this will not be a good time to live in as it will mean that by this point everyone in video industry will be out of jobs - directors, videographers, actors, composers, screen writers, and if AI will be able to do perfect videos, it will also be doing perfect images (graphic designers, UI/UX designers), create perfect code (software engineers/progammers), accountants... factor workers... everyone.
The moment AI does perfect videos with no issues and is completely uncensored and capable of everything is moment we will reach the point of no return, we will have created a true AI and humanity will be doomed, no one will have time to make porn, we'll be fighting each other to not starve... or fighting AI... And I know this must sound like I'm just writing some sci-fi skynet inspired crap, but it's the truth, the moment AI can perfectly replace jobs of many talented artists, or in this case the job of a pornstar, a porn director, porn writer, porn video editor, it will replace whole industry, a perfect AI video means no one will care it's AI made, it will be perfect, indistinguishable from real stuff, so why bother paying for real stuff.
Truth is I doubt this will ever come to be, we will never make perfect AI, so there will never be perfect way to make AI porn, and if it's not gonna be perfect, it will either require a lot of human touch to make it good - which means average non technical person won't be able to do it, or it will continue to be rubbish, which means no one will care, and haters will continue to hate it.
Try going to twitter and call yourself an "AI artists" and watch the hate coming your way, some people react to "AI art" the same way Trump supporters react to seeing a vaccine, pride flag or Joe Biden.
