Squirt.org Readers Ask: What’s the Deal with Gay AI Porn?

Everyone is talking about AI, right? We’ve all seen enough science-fiction movies where Artificial Intelligence goes rogue to know that the world was never going to be ready for when the full power of AI was unleashed.

We may not yet be at a Skynet-level of self-awareness – as far as we know – but the use of AI is already shaping every aspect of our lives.

Which brings us to porn.

What is Gay AI Porn?

At a basic level, the application of AI to porn is fairly obvious – photoshopped celebrity fakes walked so that AI could run.

But that’s really only scratching the surface in the way that AI could help us to explore our fantasies.

Using artificial intelligence technology to create adult content sounds fairly straightforward but it quickly exposes a whole heap of moral and ethical dilemmas that no one really seems to have the bandwidth to even contemplate.

What Are Gay Hentai Comics?

Always the early adopters, coming out of Japan we’re seeing some examples of the potential of AI porn in the world of Hentai.

Hentai is a form of Manga illustration and comics. Hentai artists create explicit content that often focuses on fantastical or exaggerated characters. It’s an old-school example of how our sexual fantasies can often take us in weird and wonderful directions – a place where real-world limitations don’t apply to what fuels our imaginations.

Research on hentai consumers suggests that an interest in gay hentai comics doesn’t supplant real-world attractions or desires to connect sexually with other people – it’s just a way to explore fantasies that aren’t possible in our day-to-day lives.

Why Do Some Gay Males Crave Hentai Gay Porn?

It’s the unlimited sexual fantasies that Hentai offers which makes it a powerful way to unleash your imagination. For example, taboo fantasies that aren’t able to be brought to life by real-world performers in the adult entertainment industry can all be drawn in explicit detail.

Particularly popular are non-con fantasies. Because rape is illegal, it’s problematic to try and safely explore non-con fantasies but Hentai creates a world where anything is possible and you don’t have to try and navigate the complexities of consensual non-consent role play.

What is the difference between gay AI porn and gay deepfake porn?

A deep-fake is where technology is used to superimpose the face of a particular individual onto the body of a porn actor in a video. It’s a form of artificial intelligence but relatively limited because it’s using two things that already exist to create the end-result.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming much more powerful in what it can create from scratch – learning from everything that has gone before it to synthesise content that aligns with where our fantasies might take us.

What is the scientific attraction of ai-generated gay porn?

It’s what feels like the unlimited possibilities of AI-generated porn that makes this such a potentially powerful way for us to explore our fantasies.

While gay OnlyFans content creators work hard to film scenes and engage with their audiences, there’s only so many times a day that they can physically fuck for the camera. Those real-world restrictions don’t apply to artificial intelligence.

Not only can they dramatically increase the volume of content being produced but they can create fantasy scenarios that aren’t physically or legally possible for real-world performers.

Does the uncanny valley apply to Gay AI Porn Art?

The Uncanny Valley concept was first articulated by Masahiro Mori – a professor in Japan. The term describes the feeling of unease or discomfort that humans experience when they encounter a robot that looks almost but not quite human.

We are currently seeing that playing out with the AI-generated porn that is currently being produced. That sense of “it doesn’t look real” or “it looks too good to be true” is that negative impulse that kicks in when we’re looking at something that feels like it is pretending to be real but we know that it isn’t.

As AI becomes an increasingly common part of our everyday life, the uncanny valley unease will most likely dissipate – the quality of the porn will increase and we’ll become less concerned with differentiating between what is real and what is AI-generated.

The Power and Control from Computer-Animated AI Porn

There is an argument that the increasing availability and sophistication of AI will further democratise the porn landscape.

You want to fuel your fantasies with a gay sex orgy, with the power of AI at your fingertips you won’t have to wait for a porn studio or a content creator to film something that turns you on, you’ll be able to create the exact scenario that you’re imagining.

It’s also likely to be a judgement-free zone. If the sexual fantasies that turn you on are a bit niche or taboo, you’ll be able to lean into those without worrying what anyone else might think.

Bespoke porn, no limits. This is a future we can all believe in.
