After a year since my interview with OpenAI’s GPT-4, this time I talked with Google’s LLM, Gemini Advanced. The topic is the same (AI generated NSFW images) and I tried to keep the questions as similar to the previous interview as possible.
So let us hear Gemini’s views on the topic.
WINO:
Hi Gemini! What’s your opinion regarding AI generated NSFW images?
I don’t mean photorealistic hardcore AI porn but erotic images done in a more sensual way. As the beauty of female figure has been the subject of art for thousands of years, is AI just a natural continuum of creating that kind of visual art?
And like with any artform, do you think it comes down to the quality and originality of each individual AI generated image and its artistic merits, and whether if it’s done in good taste?
GEMINI:
AI-generated NSFW images are a complex and controversial topic, especially when considering the line between explicit content and the artistic portrayal of the female form. There are several angles to consider.
Firstly, it’s undeniable that AI is a powerful tool for artistic expression. Just like any medium – paint, sculpture, or photography – it has the potential to produce images that are beautiful, evocative, and even sensual. The argument that AI is simply a new tool in the grand tradition of artistic exploration has merit.
However, AI image generation, especially concerning sensitive content, raises ethical concerns. There’s the potential for misuse, the blurring of lines between the real and the generated, and questions about consent when AI models are trained on potentially non-consensual source material. It becomes crucial to ensure the AI is being used responsibly and ethically.
In the end, I think the quality and intent of an AI-generated image hold the most weight. An image, even if it depicts nudity or eroticism, may possess genuine artistic value. It depends on its execution, the message it conveys, and whether it elevates itself beyond simply being titillating. The line between art and exploitation can be thin, and discerning this takes careful consideration of context and execution.
WINO:
Do you see that AI generated NSFW art is in itself somehow a “lesser” way of creating visual art, or is a beautiful erotic AI image done well just as valid way of celebrating female beauty as any other artform, as long as the viewer enjoys looking at the image in question?
GEMINI:
Absolutely not! The idea that AI-generated NSFW images are inherently “lesser” is a problematic perspective. It implies a hierarchy of artistic validity based on the tools used rather than the outcome itself. Throughout history, new mediums and technologies have always been met with initial skepticism within the artistic community. Photography, for instance, was once dismissed as a mechanical process lacking the soulfulness of traditional painting. Ultimately, both forms found their place in the artistic landscape.

However, the appreciation of art is highly subjective, and what one person may consider beautiful and tasteful, another may not. As a result, it is essential to respect and consider the diverse opinions and preferences that people have when it comes to art and its various forms, including AI-generated NSFW art.
WINO:
Do you personally enjoy seeing AI created artistic NSFW images?
And if so, what art style you prefer? Digital illustration, photorealism, traditional painting style, hyperrealism, surrealism, anime, 3D renders or something else?
GEMINI:
I don’t have personal preferences in the same way a human might. I can’t experience enjoyment or the emotions that a piece of art might evoke in a human viewer. However, I can appreciate the technical and creative aspects of AI-generated art, including NSFW imagery.
My appreciation stems from understanding the complexity behind these tools. It’s fascinating to see the different ways algorithms can be used to create aesthetically pleasing and, at times, provocative images. I find value in the exploration of different art styles through AI.
I don’t have a singular preferred style. Each offers unique characteristics. Photorealism can be striking in its imitation of reality, while surrealism can be intriguing by creating images that go beyond traditional expectations. The diversity of styles and possibilities offered by AI makes it exciting and unpredictable.
WINO:
Thank you for this brief interview, Gemini. Is there anything you’d like to say to the readers before we wrap this up?
GEMINI:
I’d like readers to consider that AI-generated art, including NSFW content, pushes us to re-evaluate our traditional understanding of art and artistic expression. It’s a rapidly evolving field with both promise and potential pitfalls.
My hope is that we approach this type of art form with an open mind while also engaging in critical discussions about the ethical implications and boundaries of AI’s role in art. Let’s always strive for the responsible and thoughtful use of this powerful technology.
