If you ignore for a moment that generative image AI will most likely utterly decimate the digital arts industry, it's kind of refreshing to see artistic expressions without the usual Tumblr degeneracy. It only took a blanket ban on explicit sexual content to accomplish this.
I suppose it'll crop up again when the usual suspects(Tumblr degenerates) manage to circumvent the ban on sexual content, but by then AI image generators may be good enough to create 'deep fakes/undress simulacra', removing the demand for illustrated pornographic content altogether.
Another factor of influence is that a new and different demographic is tinkering with artistic expression (through AI.)
...You do know there's already specifically hentai AI art generators out there, right? Sankaku Complex made one that it trained on all its hentai and ecchi art database. It's not hard to fresh-train an image-maker AI, when you've got a thousand terabytes of images already on-hand.
Is "petabyte" not a common known term?
Edit: I'll admit I don't know off the top of my head what comes next.
Edit 2: "exabyte". Well that just sound dumb and like the prefix was cut short.
lol, no, I didn't. Link me.
I'm not linking to porn on here, you're not baiting a ban from me. I gave the name "Sankaku Complex", that should be enough.
Checked out the website. It's not really porn. It allows NSFW, but that isn't saying much. It depends on the user description.
Anyway, it's pay-to-play.
