I've been thinking a lot about the movie "Forbidden Planet" (1956) where Dr. Morbius talked about how the ancient Krell race became extinct in a single night after firing up a machine that could turn thought into matter.
Our current state of AI or automation does not even come close to this level of technology, but the question at the heart of the movie is still relevant: If we could make any thought become reality, would our "monsters from the Id" destroy us?
At the moment things are a little bit strange - and they're gonna get stranger. There are so many things this technology will allow us to do in the kink space, probably things we haven't thought of yet. Realistic non-con videos are only one. Best believe there are others.😈
Porn...finds a way, so assume this type of content will be created.
It will be easy to do; it will vary in quality but be good enough to get off on; there will be a metric shit-ton of it.
Doing nothing has the potential to cause real harm to real people, if it hasn't already, in terms of reputation, livelihood, or mental well-being.
Responding with outright censorship will encourage the construction of spaces that will be harder to detect, even harder to police.
So here we are - an interconnected, globe-spanning fetish community engaged in conversation with itself about how far we can - and far we should - go with this still-evolving technology. This is good. We might not have answers we can all live with yet, but we will hone in on them.
In the meantime, let's keep talking.
