I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn’t quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. I the spirit of their own long-held stance:
A photoshopped version of the “You wouldn’t download a car” ad saying: “You wouldn’t download an actor”
I don’t mean to sound anti-woman, but I have often fantasized about a world in which men have sex robots and can program them to have whatever personality and body type they want.
So maybe downloading actors from the bay will be a reality in our lifetime. I know they already have 3d porn games like this. I’ve even seen them hooked up to fleshlighta that are attached to a motor.
I mean maybe we’re already there if you’re rich enough.
Before we get there, it is wise to re-examine what we lose when everything is commodified. You might not mean to sound anti-woman, but you do sound anti-woman, anti-personhood even, because what you’re saying is that a person’s body (regardless of gender and sex) and likeness can be commodified without the person’s consent, or even knowledge that it is happening. You might be interested in reading Michael J. Sandel’s “What Money Can’t Buy” and examine your fantasy from an economic-political point of view.
Yep, I figured it was going to be offensive in some way, but I bet that day is coming, offensive or not.
Suuper late reply. Morals change, ethics evolve. I probably won’t be alive the day this happens, so I’ll leave with a shrug.
Companies would be happy to sell it if that is profitable. But we aren’t prepared for that. Imagine what hole would create a working and accessible sim where you can just copy a person into a porn. Being spammed with a livestream of anon doing your underaged children or a dead grandmother is not that far from now. One another Pandora’s box.
While TERFs are mad at transwomen for “replacing woman”, AI pretty much could replace them, especially in the arts. Won’t be very good, but would be good for whatever theocratic fascist governance, that see problem with not all women being relegated to be incubators.
