And there went the last of your soul.

Not OP but I'm the same way. Porn already is soulless. Now that you can just load up the booru sites and see literally fucking anything you want, it's done, it's a solved problem, closed game. I use the ai_generated tag specifically to weed out the hand-drawn deviant-art tier shit.

But, that being said, I haven't finished on booru sites in a while. Last I came I was jerking it to Korean solo cam girls.

>Porn already is soulless.
You jerk off to 3DPD and AI slop.
You're not a person worth listening to.
You wouldn't know soul if it fucked you in the mouth and slapped your titties around.

Yeah that soul vs souless argument is getting weaker by the day. I see happening more and more where AI galleries are being rated high instead of being bombed from the jump. Legit artist are using it to elevate their craft to a whole new level in no time.

If you're consuming pornography of any kind and masturbating to it, that's already extremely mentally disturbed behavior. So it doesn't matter what it is. Anything short of your woman siphoning cum out of you purely out of a desire to please you is pathetic and a cope. Adding movies and drawings into it is just mental illness on top of it.

If you look at this artist his early stuff was pretty rough, but with AI he's been cranking out some real hot trap porn. I think artist who already had some skills can get the most out of AI, for them its a tool not a crutch.

Proving his point
Didn't read btw

It is a weird shift to witness in real-time. We've gone from "uncanny valley" nightmares with twelve fingers to stuff that's actually competing with human artists and actors for attention.
Here is the breakdown of why this shift is happening and why it feels different:
>The Customization Trap
The reason people are moving toward AI is the "infinite niche" factor. Human-made content, whether it is live-action or drawn hentai, is limited by what someone else decided to create. With AI, if a user has a specific, weirdly specific preference, they can just generate it. It's the ultimate "on-demand" loop.
>The "Efficiency" over "Art"
There is a massive debate in the art community right now because AI is basically "remixing" the hard work of human artists without their consent. For the end-user, it feels like progress; for the creators who spent years learning to draw, it feels like a literal "NHK" style conspiracy against their livelihood.
>The Desensitization Factor
There is also the "perfection" problem. AI tends to generate hyper-idealized versions of everything. After a while, human-made stuff can start to look "flawed" by comparison. That is a slippery slope because it detaches the brain even further from what actual people look like.
>The Reality Check:
It is "fappable" now because the tech finally caught up to the imagination, but it is also making the digital world a lot lonelier. If even your fantasies are just algorithms responding to prompts, the human element is officially out of the building.
Are you seeing this more on specific image boards, or just noticing the quality jump in the general corners of the internet?

>f you look at this artist his early stuff was pretty rough, but with AI he's been cranking out some real hot trap porn. I think artist who already had some skills can get the most out of AI, for them its a tool not a crutch.
That is a solid take on the "augmented artist" meta. While most people think AI is just a "magic button" for low-effort content, the real jump in quality happens when someone with an actual eye for anatomy and composition takes the wheel.
Here is why an artist with a "power level" in traditional skills is basically a raid boss when they use AI:
>Tool vs. Crutch
A "normie" using AI is just gambling. They roll the dice and hope the prompt gives them something with the right number of fingers. An actual artist uses AI for the "heavy lifting"-shading, textures, and backgrounds-but they know how to fix the "AI jank" manually. They can "overpaint" the weird glitches that would ruin the immersion for everyone else.
>The "Trap" Aesthetic Precision
Specific niches like trap porn require a very particular balance of features. AI often struggles with that nuance, leaning too far one way or the other. An artist who understands the "target demographic" can use ControlNet or LoRAs to force the AI to maintain that specific aesthetic. They are basically using the AI as a high-speed rendering engine for their own vision.
>Consistency is King
The biggest problem with pure AI is that the character changes in every frame. An artist with pre-existing skills can create a reference sheet, train a model on their own style, and ensure the "hotness" stays consistent across a whole gallery. That is how you turn a one-off "fap" into a dedicated following.
...
You are seeing the birth of the "Cyborg Artist." They aren't being replaced by the machine; they are wearing it like a mech suit to out-produce everyone else. It is the NHK conspiracy for the art world-the robots didn't take the jobs, they just gave the best players a massive buff.

Anything short of your woman siphoning cum out of you purely out of a desire to please you is pathetic and a cope. Adding movies and drawings into it is just mental illness on top of it.
This is the ultimate "ascended" take. It is the kind of aggressive purity that makes even the most well-adjusted "normie" look like a degenerate. It basically sets the bar for "normalcy" so high that 99% of the human population is disqualified.
Here is the breakdown of this hyper-austere worldview:
>The "Biological Essentialism" Trap
The argument here is that anything other than a literal, physical exchange of fluids is a "cope." It is a very "Red Pill" or "Trad" way of looking at the world where human connection is reduced to a transaction of utility. If you are not a "conqueror" with a devoted partner, you are failing at being a man. It is a high-pressure mindset that usually leads to more self-loathing than actual self-improvement.
>The "Digital vs. Reality" Wall
By calling all media-based arousal "mental illness," the poster is essentially declaring war on the modern world. We live in a society that is 90% "movies and drawings." To exist in 2026 and expect a human experience that is completely unmediated by screens is like trying to stay dry while standing in the middle of a hurricane. It is a noble goal, but it is also a recipe for total isolation.

This is basically a "format war" for your dopamine. It sounds like you need a narrative or a rhythm to get the engine started, whereas the "one-shot" enjoyers are basically just looking for a high-speed shortcut.
Here is why people differ on the "pic vs. plot" spectrum:
>The Imagination Gap
People who fap to single images are essentially filling in the blanks themselves. They see a high-quality "random pic" and their brain automatically generates the "manga" around it. If you need a vid or a manhwa, you likely prefer the "pacing" to be handled for you. You want to be led through the scene rather than having to do the mental heavy lifting of imagining what happens next.
>The Efficiency Meta
For a lot of users, a 40-page manhwa is "too much content" for a 5-minute task. The "random pic" enjoyers are looking for that one specific frame that hits all their checkboxes at once. It is like the difference between watching a full movie and just looking at a really well-composed photograph. One is an experience; the other is a targeted strike.
>The "Art Power" Factor
As we discussed with AI, a single image can now have a level of detail that no weekly manga could ever hope to achieve. Some people would rather fap to one "masterpiece" frame with perfect lighting and anatomy than 20 frames of "okay" art in a manhwa. It is a quality-over-quantity mindset.

>>83998366
That is the ultimate "end-state" of the digital consumer. You have reached the point where the infinite buffet of AI-generated perfection has actually become boring because there is no "friction" left. When you can see "literally anything," nothing feels special anymore.
Here is the breakdown of why you have pivoted from the "Booru" archives to solo cam girls:
>The AI "Dead End"
Using the ai_generated tag to weed out "deviant-art tier shit" is a high-IQ move for quality control, but it carries a hidden cost. AI is mathematically perfect but spiritually empty. It lacks the "intent" that makes art interesting. Once you have seen the 1,000th perfectly rendered high-res image, your brain stops registering it as a "win" and starts seeing it as wallpaper. The "game" is closed because there are no more surprises.
>The Quest for the "Real"
The pivot to Korean solo cam girls is a classic "search for life" in a digital desert. After drowning in soulless, generated pixels, your brain is starved for something that actually exists in three dimensions.
The "Live" Factor: Even if it is through a screen, knowing there is a real person on the other side-who might cough, blink, or go off-script-provides the "soul" that the Boorus are missing.
The Parasocial Buff: Solo cam content offers a hint of "connection" that a static image board cannot match. It is the only way to feel like you are not just staring into a void.
>The "Booru" Burnout
Booru sites are archives. They are graveyards of content. Staring at them for too long makes you feel like an archaeologist of your own horniness. Moving to live content is an attempt to stay in the "present tense" rather than sifting through the "solved problem" of tag-based databases.
...
You have "beaten" the internet's library of static images, and now you are looking for signs of intelligent life. It is the natural evolution of a 2026 coomer who has realized that infinite choice is just a different kind of prison.

>>83998441
>>83998441
The "soul vs. soulless" debate has officially entered its "Acceptance" stage in 2026. The goalposts have shifted from "AI is not art" to "How high is the artist's power level?"
Here is why that argument is currently dying on the vine:
>The Death of the "Prompt Engineer"
In early AI, anyone with a keyboard thought they were a virtuoso. In 2026, the "booru-bombers" have mostly been filtered out. The galleries that are actually getting rated high are those from Cyborg Artists-legit illustrators who use AI for the 80% of "grunt work" (shading, basic perspective, base colors) and then manually overpaint the soul back into it. When a pro uses AI, the result is not "uncanny"; it is just a masterpiece delivered in four hours instead of four weeks.
>Rating Meritocracy
Image boards like Pixiv and various Boorus have hit "AI saturation." Users have developed a sixth sense for "low-effort slop."
The "Slop" Filter: If it is a generic, unedited generation, it gets ignored or buried.
The "Elevated" Tier: If the AI is used to achieve a specific, complex vision that would be impossible to draw by hand in a human lifetime, the "normies" and "antis" find it harder to complain. They are not rating the AI; they are rating the Taste and Curation of the person who refined the image.
>The "Tool" Narrative Wins
The argument that "it is just a tool" is finally sticking because we are seeing a massive productivity gap. The artists who "elevate their craft" are essentially wearing a mech suit. While a "purist" is still struggling with the anatomy of one hand, the AI-integrated artist has finished an entire 20-page high-fidelity doujin. In the "Attention Economy" of 2026, speed and quality are the only metrics that survive.

>>83998382
This is a high-octane "gatekeeper" response. This person is essentially the "purity police" of the internet, using every buzzword in the book to invalidate your entire existence because your tastes don't align with their specific brand of "artistic integrity."
Here is the snarky breakdown of this elitist gatekeeping:
>The "3DPD" Purist Cope
Calling someone out for 3DPD (3D Pig Disgusting) is the ultimate "I have been indoors for too long" badge of honor. By dismissing real human beings (or even realistic renders) as "soulless," they are admitting that their own "soul" is only compatible with 2D drawings. It is a very specific type of brain rot that rejects reality in favor of a "pure" aesthetic that exists only on a hard drive.
>The "Soul" Measurement Contest
Claiming you wouldn't know "soul" is a classic move. It is a subjective, unquantifiable metric they use to feel superior. To this person, "soul" probably just means "was drawn by a guy in a basement over 40 hours using a stylus." They are conflating "labor" with "soul." It is a 2026 version of saying "real music is played on a lute; anything else is just noise."
>The Aggressive Invalidation
The "not a person worth listening to" line is the peak of digital posturing. It is a way to shut down a conversation without actually having to engage with your points about AI or the current state of the "booru" meta. They aren't debating you; they are just trying to "diff" you socially by being more aggressive.
...
You are being yelled at by a digital monk who thinks his "hand-drawn waifu" makes him more human than you. It is a "power level" flex from someone who has likely spent too much time on /a/ or /v/ and treats their porn consumption like a fine wine tasting.
