This will not be an ordinary story, it could make you think, wonder, investigate. It could even disturb you.
This is a very current story - we have all heard of AI and its growing intrusion into our existence and perheps alterior existance, because what is real? is an emoji you sent real because you sent it? what happens if you are only presumed to be the sender? if a computer has been programmed to be "you" and send "your replies" and "your emojis" is it still a real you? and what way has anyone to know that?
What about images, "real" images. lets think about that - porn stars, are people, like you and me, who are faking an entire reality and existence - one that is constructed for a purpose, for selling what is "hot" and "sexy", they are lucky enough to sell "themselves" - body, sexual ability, sometimes personality - as a product. This is now a comodity itself, - and it has a new name: likeness. The ability to sell "you", or: your likeness of you.
Wait! you may say - there is only one of you! but is there only one of you?
Some humans, are lucky enough to do very little to be hot and sexy, they can sell their actual existence and fake very little, they do not need to do porn, or win a sports medal. they are influencers in that people want to be influenced by them, for any number of reasons: beauty, fame, sexual arousal, dream job, funny, creative..
as they are as hot and sexy doing almost anything, and do not have to construct a sexual existence, just a parallel existence of a social-star, not one that has their actual family or friends, but one that is just on the outside of their real place and real interactions.
AI can construct our likeness. well, you would say - Ive seen such porn. it is not believable. it lacks human-ness. robotic. This has changed very quickly and like many issues where an unlikely place of first-adopters earlybird implementation is porn, AI is targeting porn as "the final frontier" into completely duplicating likeness. Into making likeness, as believable
and real as an actual living and breathing porn star. If they can do that, they have bridged and crossed that final frontier
between real, reality - and fake-real, fake-reality. One where our favorite porn star is twice a week uploading amazing content of "himself and others" to only fans, yet - he has not done porn in the past months at all, he has perhaps travelled to south america, and opened a store in his home town. We are following "him" showing us his pump, flexing, daily gym routines, even getting naked outdoors, smilling as we like his smiles - cheeky and youthful, showing of his incredible physical ability, or having the best of times with another friend from a porn reality that they shared.
Yet they are not in touch, yet he is not in any gym, or even in any scene, they have all been created not by him but by him selling his likeness. Yes, he was approached in early 2023 by an AI company to help them create the most real unreal version of himself. He was paid an incredible sum he could not refuse, tens of millions of euros. This instantly made him a multi millionaire. There was just one catch - he had to help them create him, and they would perfect their algorythms, until he could fool anyone that its him, by zoom, by video, by a phone conversation, by an entire clip of sex, that he did not take part in, yet he filly did. every movement, eyebrow change, kiss, muscle movement, moan, tounge kissing a sexy chest of another man - it was all his likeness, yet none of it was physically him. It had him even fooled, at first - he was shocked. It was like watching a mirror - but you in the mirror had another "person" attached to it, operating and talking. The more the porn star sat and looked at himself, he could not identify anything unreal. there was no telltale fakeness.
As he saw himself playfully lifting another muscled guy by his thought, dangling in the air and throwing him effortlessly onto a bed a few feet away, he knew he could never do it physically. that was too unreal. At that point the AI company rep paused the video. "we inserted some more fantastical strength and ability, we can play around with anything, your abilities, your sounds, your form, your body reactions".
The star was stunned, shocked but he knew this is why he was offered such a large life-changing sum. it was going to change his life. His lawyer had refused to let him sign selling his likeness for a decade to the AI company. Instead, they would be joint partners. As he was not so active for a few months, it was perfect timing to release the likeness of him back into the world. All his social interactions would be led by AI and performed by it. He would be allowed to sign off on any image and clip. If it was not enough "him" he could ask to alter here or there. Of course, he had asked his likeness to have a larger, thicker penus. more prominent abs. a perfect haircut. Who wouldnt? But there was a clause in the agreement: all his noticable measurements, expressions, ticks, imperfections would be staying to provide the most real likness of himself. He had to help them fool everyone, including friends, associates and fans. It would be the best version of him - but not so much as to give away that it is 100% AI-constructed.
He would get a bit of an elevated surroundings. A nicer house as backdrop with infinity pool. A ferrari supercar to "drive" in, even a bit more muscle where he wanted to. His hobby of climbing would go as far as skills that would be as good as an olympic athlete. AI would create real rooms, sunsets, ice cream stands, forests and his city scenes, all modelled and pre-built.
As he returned to grace the only fans and accounts, to take sexy elevator selfies and gym stories of his ripped body glistening in post-workout pump and sweat - none of this was his real reality. He was rather sick and had lost some muscle over a long recovery period from a virus. Yet for his fans - he was at the very peak of his condition. thousands of likes and tens of thousands of new onlyfans subscribers meant AI had succesfully broken the borders between real and constructed-real.
