AI discussion (no images/video)

[Toesheldback]

Hey!

I know there’s an AI thread in the pics/images forum, but I was curious if anyone wanted to discuss AI as it relates to fictional tickling. Whether stories, AI images and videos, etc.

“AI slop” is so common that Websters dictionary named it one of the top 3 new words/phrases in 2025.

Do you use AI for tickle fiction, images, or video?
Do you do RPs with AI characters?
No shame here.

I use AI primarily to generate tickling images/vids of my wife with her girlfriends. That and female celebs. I’m an f/f guy, so it’s pretty easy to find subject matter.

I won’t post any of it here, because I’m afraid it will make it to the larger intranet. I just figured out that not only can I create the girls to do what I’d like them to do - I can add audio and their lips will move as if they’re speaking.

It’s pretty crazy stuff. Take a screencap of your favorite video and make it veer into a completely different direction.

If I’m the unicorn here, that’s cool. Just wanted to open the door and see if anyone else wanted to step through

I’ve just started experimenting with AI and am using it to tickle the feet of my Wife, my Sister in Law, my late Mother, old girlfriends, girls I knew as a kid, Aunts, etc. so far, it’s been a blast, and VERY satisfying.

I've had a lot of fun with the AI App Kindroid. Create AI folks who interact both with me and among themselves. You can create images including photo-real and very short videos. You can interact with text or voice.

I do play around with AI art generators and have RP'd with a couple of AI tools. I've posted a few images I've generated elsewhere on the forum, but mostly I do it for my own enjoyment.

I'd love to do something like that with my girlfriend. Can you upload images of her to the AI engine without releasing them to the internet?

Theoretically yes, but is anything private once uploaded to the internet?

The moment you upload images of real people to an AI program, those images are added to the dataset. You might think you’re protecting your friends’ privacy by not uploading those AI images elsewhere -in reality the damage is already done.

I obviously cannot speak for the friends, spouses and associates in anyone else’s social circles, but I find it difficult to believe that a great many people wouldn’t be understandably upset that their likenesses have been used in some of the ways described here.

That being said, I expect most people in 2025 have willingly uploaded their own photos to one social media platform or another at some point, which means a lot of the bigger AI programs already have their image(s). Of course they didn’t necessarily expect that to be a result of sharing their image at the time, but it would have been naive to not think corporations like Meta et al wouldn’t repurpose our cherished memories somehow. Still, I daresay even if people had that understanding in mind, it was with the thinking they’d find their face on some foreign advertisement, not a random piece of porn on the internet.

I'm gonna be a voice of negativity here: I have no respect for people who use AI to write tickling stories.

As far as I'm concerned, using services like ChatGPT and Grok to generate stories for you is just cheating yourself out of an opportunity to express yourself. A lot about the writer can come through in how they've written a work. What sort of tickling do you like to see? What do you fantasize about? To a lesser extent, how do you view people and the world around you? The devil's in the details in this sort of creative work. Little details like your word choice when describing how someone is tickled can impact the entire scene in a bigger way than a lot of people seem to expect.

None of that comes across when you let an AI handle that for you. The standardized authorial voice they use means everything ends up looking the same. All of the author's quirks get washed away into it just being another forgettable tickling story.

I mean, if you just prompt “write a tickle story” you’re gonna get garbage. If you prompt well and evolve your prompts as the story evolves, it can be a rewarding tale. I like that AI will sometimes take a story in a direction I was t planning and didn’t anticipate.

I feel like there's a disconnect in what we're talking about here. To be clear, my complaint isn't about the quality of any given AI generated work, it's about how the standardized way AIs generate stories means that the author's worldview and preferences don't come across as well. I'm glad you personally find joy in these services generating something you weren't expecting, but to me it highlights the problem with the entire enterprise. If the AI is taking the story in directions you didn't want it to, it just goes to show this is really the AI's story, not the prompter's.

Personally, I believe that the goal of posting stories here isn't to do a good job. It's to do your best. If your best is bad then do a bad job. I'm not clicking on "Tickly Lesbians from Outer Space" in the Tickling Stories subsection of the Tickling Media Forum expecting Ulysses by James Joyce. It's a tickling story. It's okay if the writing quality is kinda shoddy, the plot is threadbare, the descriptions don't give too clear a picture of what's going on, and the character writing is stiff. The fun is in getting to experience what someoneelse fantasizes about.

The stories subsection is absolutely flooded with AI generated works these days. All of them read exactly the same to the point it's easy to identify them within the first paragraph or two. That isn't fun to me no matter how much effort they put into it. I click on TickleMantis stories because I want to read TickleMantis' brand of storytelling. Same for primetime, same for Viewmaster, and same for all the others. Churning out cut and paste stories in the name of putting something out there defeats the entire point of the exercise.
