Very delayed in posting this article and as with most things, tech has moved on since I had the thoughts around this and some of it has come to be. So, let's backtrack a little to Conspiracy #42 where we start to look at the possibility that AI can give us answer to everything, but more so that AI ends up being the creator of the environment we live in. That it creates a virtual world based on our wishes and desires and allows us to do what we want to. Well, yeah, the first thing that gets us down this path is porn and it's always a good indicator of how important a technology will be when porn becomes common place. Clearly if we're creating a fantasy world based on our desires, it's going to cater for our sexual desires along with any other fantasies we have of maybe being a rock star, famous actor or whatever we want to be. Well, we're already meandering down this path with the release of PygmalionAI (look on GitHub or HuggingFace if you want to find it, not the other sites that come up). Pygmalion offers a role playing AI designed to meet your desires and apparently it is fully designed to meet your sexual desires. The reviews of it are very good and it appears to be the best role playing model out there to date.

Now for the dark side, or at least the dark side as we exist today. I'm not going to get into a moral debate here and have no desire to whatsoever, but if we acknowledge that a person's sexuality is inherent and that someone feels the way they do because of who they are, should acknowledgement be given to people who have desires that are currently illegal? Again, I'm not wanting to get into a debate about what's morally acceptable or not, the law is the law and I agree with it as it stands, however, how does the law apply to people's fantasies with AI? Technically, you're not hurting a man, woman, child, animal, alien or whatever ... but ....
