f you know that AI is going to do a thing and there's no stopping it. And in this case, AI is definitely going to be doing porn, right? Everybody knows that and it's definitely going to be doing porn where it pretends that somebody you know is in the porn scene, maybe even with you. So you know that's going to happen. And it doesn't mean you're going to use OpenAI to do it, but there will be a bunch of, as Sam points out, there'll be a bunch of open source free models of AI that might not be just as good as the ones you pay for, but it'll be good enough that it can create endless porn that you just want on demand.

And what Sam said is if you know something's coming and there's no way to stop it, and I think this falls into that category pretty well, that you should first restrict it and people will do it anyway. And then you'll learn something, but you won't have gone too far because you're still restricting it. But at some point, you have to inoculate the public. I think he used that word, inoculate. In other words, the only thing you could do is let it out. You just don't want to let it out without a little bit of thinking about how fast you do it. And so it's basically about getting people used to it. If you can get people used to it and bored by it, it might not even be a problem.

I was trying to think, you know, at the moment because I have the prostate cancer, I don't have normal sexual thoughts because the first thing they do is give you a drug that takes all that away. So I'm basically a walking eunuch. So when I look at this, I don't have any way to appreciate whether I would have wanted to use it for porn if I had any interest in porn, which I don't. But when I think about it, I think I'd probably, let's say I were a younger, hornier man, I'd probably try it. I'd probably say, "Hey, make me a scene with these two people in it." And then I would be mildly amused. Maybe I'd do it again. But somewhere around the third or fifth time I had to tell the porn what to do and then it didn't quite do it and I had to tell it again, it would start feeling like work. You know what I mean?

I'm not sure that it really presents a possibility of enjoying it in the long term. Short term probably I'd give it a try. A lot of men would. Long term I feel like it would be the same problem with art that if you know they're not real people, you can't really get past it. That's what I think. So I think as weird as this sounds, I think that the AI companies will have to loosen up and let you do whatever you want. But I do like Sam's idea of rolling it out and inoculating people a little bit before they get the full thing.
