it has no real application outside porn
Hard disagree. It can be used to generate textures for video games instead of doing the hard work of taking photos, editing them, or making them from scratch. And corporations will love the ability to generate some basic bitch stock images or other corporate abstracts without having to pay some artist to do that.
Also, shitposts. There are many applications for AI images outside of porn.
In addition, anonymous posting, downloading, colour images, video streaming, live streaming, GIFs, colour pictures, e-commerce, encrypted communication -- were initially developed for porn users, and any other application for these things has been purely serendipitous. You could go further back to say that cable television, VHS, and DVD were initially built for porn -- some estimates have stated that 80% of consumer electronics were initially made for porn.
Okay this is a fucking schizo theory. Unless you can bring up examples that each of those technologies were invented just for the sake of porn, you're talking out of your ass.
By this completely asinine logic, porcelain mugs were invented for porn because the ancient Greeks put pornography on pottery.

The VHS being built for porn, or winning over Betamax because it allowed for porn, is all urban legends too. Betamax allowed for porn, the reason it lost to VHS was because it was more expensive, more restrictive and in the early days it held less footage, and no, not because the porn industry couldn't expose people to more hours of Ron Jeremy, but because regular movies wouldn't fit on a Betamax. They did fit on a VHS, and the cassette rental market was too big for Betamax to stay afloat with it's disadvantages.
You know what's another big issue with all this technology? It's that people can say whatever they want, put it up on a soapbox, other people can read it and a lot of idiocy can arise from it. Things like people completely mislabeling music on Napster and other P2P file sharing sites leading to common misconceptions like SOAD making a Legend of Zelda cover, and people like you that somehow believe that all the technological advancements from the 70's up until today were made only for porn, possibly with some conspiracy theory about a Jewish cabal somewhere within it.
Also, "some estimates have stated that 80% of consumer electronics were initially made for porn"? What an oddly broad claim to make with no sources to back it up with.
If we want this to stop, we need to change the way the internet is built, which means removing online anonymity, banning smartphones, banning VPNs/deepweb, and bringing back shame around excessive internet usage. I know this is deeply unpopular here because all our bosses would have gotten 5 AM girl talks if we weren't anonymous, but if there wasn't online anonymity, Dong-Gone would be in jail by now, and we wouldn't have to live in fear of gender ideology since it spreads through porn and grooming that's protected by anonymity. I know people say "there will always be a loophole in any porn-banning legislation that renders it useless", but if everything you do online is tied to your real name, nobody will use porn anymore out of shame, and the most secretive way of finding it will be IRL (which will prevent a lot of escalation and addiction issues).
And you think this won't affect you personally in the long run? What, just because you're not doing anything illegal and you won't use the Internet? No wonder you believe in this schizo theory that all tech was designed for porn, you're as gullible as a toddler. If you want your porn free utopia, it already exists in China, go move there and see just how well that works. And don't give me "but China won't happen in the West", they didn't became this nightmarish surveillance state overnight, they gradually moved the goalpost by making people get behind ideas like the ones you're preaching here. And then oops, you cannot say anything bad about your government because you're watched 24/7. But hey, at least kids aren't watching porn anymore and sexual degeneracy is defeated, right?
You are the result of excessive use of the Internet. You look at this very narrow cutout of degenerate zoomers online and you believe that this is the norm, that all of this is because of the Internet and you jump to reactionary extreme conclusions. Go outside, talk to people, and compare that to what the Internet made you believe the world looks like. I might do just that because goddamn I haven't seen a person this retarded online in a while and I need a breather.
