Wanted to respond to some of the points made here and in the article.&lt;p&gt;The grotesque images: Simply put, the model is not good enough yet. This will improve over time as the models get better.&lt;p&gt;Diversity&amp;#x2F;male gaze&amp;#x2F;heteronormative: Generating men and other genders did not yield very high quality results unfortunately, so I didn&amp;#x27;t include it in the initial launch. I am also manually fine tuning the prompts, so it was easier to pick one category (women) and go with it. I hope to expand this in the future.&lt;p&gt;Sex workers: I do agree with the quote in the article that this will not replace sex workers (at least for now) in the same way that I don&amp;#x27;t think dalle&amp;#x2F;midjourney&amp;#x2F;stable diffusion will replace illustrators. In the future, I believe this technology could create a new category of sex worker that can generate content without using their own body (similar to VTubers).&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s harder to say what will happen in the future though. If these models keep improving at this pace, I think these types of discussions will be more important. Let me know if you have any questions!</text></comment>

Do the people making such comments think this won’t be applied eventually to all sexual preferences? Given that heteronormative male gaze drives the vast majority of porn consumption, doesn’t seem surprising that that’s where this kind of thing starts at first.&lt;p&gt;The bigger concern to me by far is revenge porn and use by children and that has nothing to do with gender.</text></comment>
