Potentially tin foil hat thoughts; but it bugs me too. I also believe we will be the last generation with this problem though. Progress is only a few gravestones away.
First, at it’s root this isn’t a problem that we can solve. You can run ai locally, it’s distributed already, and can be completely run offline. Big brother aside it’s part of reality now. Since we can’t solve it, that means we have to adapt. In this scenario we likely change what is socially considered taboo. Generated content by definition is not a real person, it’s actively being pursued. I’m sure there needs to be more research into the long term effects of AI, but there could even be positives. One of the learnings from the reddit pedophile ama was that unhealthy people can feel ashamed and desire a safe outlet. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8888370/ A fake person appears to be a potential solution.
Second and likely the slowest to change is shame of nudity. Some cultures accept it, I’m personally happy we that we make people cover themselves just for sanitary reasons. But the religious agenda has pushed shame and when anyone can generate nudes, why care?
