| Sexual and intimate chat with LLMs will be a huge market for whoever corners it. They'd be crazy to leave that money on the table. |

| That's why laws against drugs are so terrible, it forces law-abiding businesses to leave money on the table. Repeal the laws and I'm sure there will be tons of startups to profit off of drug addiction. |

The majority of illegal drugs aren't addictive, and people are already addicted to the addictive ones. Drug laws are a "social issue" (Moral Majority-influenced), not intended to help people or prevent harm. | |

It terms of harm current laws on drugs fail everyone but teetotaller who want everyone else to have a miserable life too. | |
| ▲ | chilmers 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | There are many companies making money off alcohol addiction, video game addiction, porn addiction, food addiction, etc. Should we outlaw all these things? Should we regulate them and try to make them safe? If we can do that for them, can't we do it for AI sex chat? | | |

| ▲ | runarberg an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | And that makes it all alright doesn’t it? There are also gangs making money off human trafficking? Does that make it OK for a corporation to make money off human trafficking as well? And there are companies making money off wars? When you argue with whataboutism, you can just point to whatever you like, and somehow that is an argument in your favor. | | |

(Not saying this as a message of support. I think legalizing/normalizing easy app-based gambling was a huge mistake and is going to have an increasingly disastrous social impact). | | |

| If your goal is to make money, sure. If your goal is to make AI safe, not so much. |

| It's not just chat. Remember image and video generation are on the table. There are already a huge category of adult video 'games' of this nature. I think they use combos of pre-rendered and dynamic content. But really not hard to imagine a near future that interactive and completely personalized AI porn in full 4kHDR or VR is constantly and near-instantly available. I have no idea the broader social implications of all that, but the tech itself feels inevitable and nearly here. |

| It will be an even bigger market when robotics are sufficiently advanced. |
