Aw man thank you for the heads up. It is hard enough as it is trying to meet others who are black like me who are nudists/naturists. So far I’ve found a couple but it seems to be a rarity
I like how we're supposed to believe this is a casual shot of them on a diving board in a public pool when their body is lit by what appears to be perfect studio lighting while giant windows pour sunlight indiscriminately over the entire scene.
If you're talking about your sex life with friends over beer, and especially without the consent of your partner(s), that's very much not a good thing. That's very much crossing a boundary.
But I agree with Jaydee that unless your spouse is okay with it, might not be a good idea to just discuss your sex life with your friends. It might embarrass them. For me it’s not a big issue, but to some people it is.
Don't think embarrassment is the big issue there. Think violation of privacy and trust is a much larger issue. And unconsented objectification of a partner.
Just because a lot of people do it, doesn't mean it's ok. Toxic masculinity is present in most people assigned male at birth, doesn't mean that it's an acceptable part of society.
Believe or not, sometimes, the norm isn't the right thing.
I'm not so anti-AI and I'm a trained artist. Its just another tool like Photoshop or the camera, each of which faced backlash when they hit the scene. I'm open to seeing were AI goes.
How fake is fake? I don't attach my real name to this profile. I do have the occasional nude of myself on here but its rare. I have two other profiles -one with my real name and one for my art - but they don't interact with this profile much.
It's not quite 'just another tool'. I mean, it's often used to replace artists entirely, it's not exactly great for the environment, and it's trained off of stolen content.
That's not to say there's 0 ethical uses, but that number is going to be pretty low. Positives don't outweigh the negatives.
The "trained off of stolen content" comment always concerns me. Everything we learn as humans is also trained off the content of others. Why do we expect it to be different?
Things are different because one's a complex living being, and the other is a program.
As humans, we take inspiration from things, but if we were to take other people's copyrighted material and reproduce it (maybe altering it slightly), but not making it transformative, that's theft.
Not to mention the people put prompts in, then claim to be an artist. Like, all they are is a glorified art director, but with a much lower standard. It's like commissioning someone, then claiming you did it, because you told someone what to do.
AI-ing an image doesn't feel nearly as good as completing a painting or even a quick sketch for me. It will never replace my own hand in my own creation. Other people can do what they want with AI. I'll continue with real materials for my own personal satisfaction.

Cuz that's totally how photography works /s

Just being A devil's advocate. No disrespect.
