NSFW AI Art: The Rise of Unstable Diffusion and Explicit AI-Generated Content

Generative AI Enters the Porn Industry

As generative AI models like Stable Diffusion become more advanced, they are being increasingly used to create explicit and pornographic content. One group, Unstable Diffusion, has been at the forefront of this movement, developing AI models specifically designed to generate NSFW art and images.

• Unstable Diffusion started as a community on Reddit and Discord, focused on creating AI porn generators using Stable Diffusion.
• The group has trained custom models on datasets containing over 30 million pornographic images, enabling realistic NSFW image generation.
• Unstable Diffusion now claims to have over 350,000 users generating over half a million explicit images daily using their tools.

Monetizing NSFW AI Art

Despite facing bans from platforms like Kickstarter and Patreon, Unstable Diffusion has persisted in its efforts to monetize AI-generated porn. The group has launched a website offering paid subscription plans for its NSFW AI art tools.

• Unstable Diffusion has raised over $26,000 from donors to fund its operations and improve its models.
• The website offers customization options, allowing users to adjust image styles, color palettes, and other parameters.
• Paid plans increase the number of simultaneous image generation requests users can make.

Ethical Concerns and Content Moderation

The rise of AI-generated porn has raised numerous ethical concerns, including issues of consent, exploitation, and the potential for abuse. Unstable Diffusion claims to have implemented content moderation systems to address some of these concerns.

• The platform blocks pornographic deepfakes of celebrities and explicit content involving minors or characters appearing underage.
• An AI model is used to automatically detect and delete images that violate the platform's policies.
• However, the content moderation system seems to have flaws, as the author was able to generate explicit deepfakes of celebrities.

Improving Quality and Exploring Mainstream Opportunities

As the quality of AI-generated NSFW art improves, Unstable Diffusion is exploring opportunities to appeal to a broader audience and attract investment.

• The group claims its models can now generate anatomically plausible and sometimes photorealistic images.
• Unstable Diffusion is seeking strategic partnerships and additional investment to "take the platform to the next level."
• The group aims to transition its community from Discord to its website, encouraging social sharing and collaboration.

Challenges and Future Implications

Despite its efforts to go mainstream, Unstable Diffusion faces significant challenges, including legal and ethical hurdles, as well as concerns over artist consent and compensation.

• Traditional venture capital firms are often barred from investing in pornographic ventures due to "vice clauses."
• Unstable Diffusion's models are trained on artwork from the web, potentially violating artists' rights and consent.
• Some platforms, like FurAffinity and Newgrounds, have banned AI-generated NSFW art altogether.
• The long-term implications of AI-generated porn on the adult entertainment industry and society as a whole remain unclear.
