The danger is that AI will stifle creativity the same way porn stifles sex: not by eliminating it, but by making the synthetic version so convenient that some folks never bother developing the actual skill.

I’m an AI maxi but this analogy blew my mind. I’ve never heard it described in this way, makes me see the negative effects of relying on AI for creative endeavors too much. If your whole sexual experience is through the lens of porn, you’ll have a very distorted view of what sex with a partner is.

Thank you! Look, on a spectrum, I'm probably much closer to AI maxi than AI doomer. I just think it's worth being as pragmatic and critical as possible without stifling.

I get caught up in all the positive potentials of AI in material and pharmaceutical science. I need more critical thinking to even me out. Your cast was definitely a start for me. Thank you 🙏🏽
