I never would have thought that creating erotic AI images would bring me such lasting joy. I’m a professional photographer, and I find the creative quality of the AI (composition, lighting, characters) to be extremely high. What the AI does in two minutes used to take a whole day—and was prohibitively expensive. “A naked beauty descending the stairs at the Paris Opera” would have been impossible in the past. And the image quality is fantastic. Okay, the resolution isn't great yet, and the hands look really bad.

Plus, these AI tools were obviously programmed by young Western nerds: the breasts are always too big and perky. Blonde women are always 20 years younger than the gray-haired ones, even when I specify an exact age. I have to make a lot of adjustments to get closer to what I want. But the AI keeps ignoring my prompts—for example, it’s hard to get a side view; the AI just loves the front view.

But it’s my little dirty hobby, and I have time for it actually.
