The term in question alludes to a well-established internet adage positing that if something exists, pornographic content featuring it will eventually be produced. This concept, when applied to character-based AI platforms, suggests the creation and dissemination of sexually explicit material involving characters from those platforms. This includes both depictions of real characters and the creation of fictional characters specifically for such content. The existence of fan-created content of this nature is not new and predates advanced AI technologies.
The prevalence of this phenomenon involving AI platforms raises concerns regarding ethical boundaries, the potential for exploitation, and the safety of users, particularly minors. While platforms generally have terms of service prohibiting explicit or harmful content, enforcement can be challenging due to the sheer volume of user-generated material and the evolving nature of AI-generated content. The history of similar phenomena in other online spaces demonstrates the difficulty in completely preventing the creation and distribution of such material.
