@Olo said in Lectured by AI about the morality of size difference:
@foreverlurk Which of these programs charge a fee to use?
Midjourney has a subscription, which is why I’m waiting for the new version and will evaluate pros and cons before commiting.
OpenAI too, I did pay the subscription, but I’m reconsidering.
Stable Diffusion is 100% free.
@giantmaneddie I don’t know at this point, I’m already using Stable Diffusion a lot too. Waiting for MidJourney to release version 6 (they keep delaying it), and try sizey prompts. Otherwise I do have alt acounts but I’d rather keep everything I do above ground and by the book, if possible.
@Olo Now that I think about it, you may be right about the re-classification of size difference, as they are constantly adjusting the filters and being flooded with size requests must have triggered some manual(?) interventions recently.
And you also raise a very good point : I don’t know WHAT I did exactly against the TOS, there is no trace or proof, and I don’t know if this was an automatic process or a manual review of some kind.
Both possibilities are scary for different reasons.
@Nyx yeah and that didn’t come out of nowhere, they trained the AI to identify such content, and then to view it as “bad” and against their TOS and/or their own sense of morality.
I find it aggressive to receive this email and be treated like I’m generating hardcore shit. 
Have a look at the email I received this morning from OpenAI (creators of the DALL-E AI I’m using for some of my gens):
What!? I wonder what could have triggered that, like 95% of my stuff is so tame. I did get flagged for “putting persons in vulnerable positions or situations”, lol. Gee, that’s kinda how I roll, OpenAI. I’ll have to be more careful, I guess. I did argue with the AI (pointless, I know!) and got this reply:
WTF…
Hello again, I’ve posted some more stuff on DA! As usual, some a lil’ spicy, some wholesome, some corny. Here’s a small sample of my latest generative AI artwork :
Starlust - Touch me with your light and I’ll burn like a star 
Never leave your shrink rays unattended…
She is ah, overwhelmed, um, yup
Without my glasses you honestly looked like a mouse
Ducky Fun
Love the variety of expressions, perspectives (first-person FOV grabs/pinchs/handhelds are my 
), angles, along with the visual storytelling.

LOLOL. YOU MUST TELL US HOW THAT GOES
hehe I will, honestly it’s so wholesome even normies could like it. Mind you, I’m still navigating the idiosyncrasies of online dating after being 15+ years in a stable relationship… but yeah, hopefully this time around I won’t stay in the ‘size closet’ forever.
@SmolChlo I just love understanding what makes other people tick, too… even if it’s not my main fantasy. Simply keeping an open mind made me discover some aspects I hadn’t considered, and explore scenarios I had previously discarded!

I know that we, as fans, have enough insight to dismiss her comments (as you have), but perhaps it’s some consolation to see an informed observation coming from the outside.
It is, thanks for sharing this very interesting blog post. Love that quote 
“I was turned on
by ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ before I knew what the
birds and the bees were all about”. I know the focus is on macrophilia (again!) but it gives me some insights that helps my own journey of self-understanding.
I hope that microphilia will be explored later in the podcast, I know we’re a rarer breed but we do exist (or maybe we don’t, ask Dr Friedman!), and I’d still like some data about its origin beyond the usual “it’s-the-patriarchy!”, and hopefully beyond the purely sexual aspect too.
@littlest-lily oh, I’m sure you’ll “lovvvvve” her… she also believes that “no woman could possibly be attracted to giants, and that no woman could fantasize about being tiny”.
So basically you don’t exist! 
Okay, that Dr. Helen Friedman really triggered me.
Suggesting psychological issues, abuse(!) and a sadistic mother!? I had a very happy childhood and a loving, caring mother. Then her take on the rules of “healthy sexuality”, like she’s the gatekeeper of it all. And yet, Helen, I was turned on by the idea of tiny girls WAYYY before I even knew what sex was… Me, at 9yo, wishing so bad a Borrower girl lived in my walls, not really understand why. 
I’m convinced individuals like her (and the spread of similar ideas) contribute to the guilt many of us have experienced at some point. Their approach, steeped in religious and pseudo-Freudian concepts, seems heavily influenced by religious values and ideologies.
I still wish a real, scientific and peer-reviewed study was available on the subject.
@miss-lillipants said in The space between SFW and NSFW:
I don’t want to infantalise young people who are coming to terms with being more sexually active and they should be free to safely explore that
Reading back what I wrote, I didn’t want to sound like I’m against that - I’m not naive either, and smart teens will always find ways around roadblocks. I mean, the Internet is a much different place than when I was a teen in the mid to late 90s, and I believe it’s now much easier to find out you’re not alone with this fetish in the world and exchange with like-minded people (and that’s a VERY good thing!).
I also didn’t want to sound like I’m against NSFW content, which would be hypocritical, since I do still enjoy it from time to time. I’m just saying that it’s not the first time I’ve heard about the need to have an “adult” space that walks the line between SFW & NSFW.
Anyways, if someone needs help I could give a hand on the technical side of things, but I really don’t have enough free time right now to take point on such a project.
My tastes have evolved with time, too. I won’t deny there will always be a sexual undercurrent about my size fantasies, but anyone who’ve seen my stuff know I tend towards cleaner, less outrageous content and imagery. Not only because of the confines and limitations of AI, but because that’s what I like, personally.
A few years ago, before Jitensha created this place, I was contacted on the SWB by a few like-minded individuals who wanted to create such a space. They wanted to represent a more mainstream aspect, without so much focus on pornography. The goal was to create, quote, “a place to go that I’m not embarrassed to show my friends or girlfriend”. Still in my foreverlurk-ing phase, I didn’t put much thought into it and the project never got off the ground.
I’d be down for a SFW group, Discord server, or sub-board, where we can somehow verify the age of participants, and have a space to chat between adults. In the past, I’ve had uncomfortable RP experiences(!) where I had to stop after having doubts about the maturity and age of my RP partner - even for gentle stuff, I simply don’t want to interact with minors(!!). That’s why I now only RP after getting to know the person for a little while.
@miss-lillipants said in Giant knight thoughts:
@foreverlurk it is a cool 18 degrees C here and I am FUCKING SWEATING. I love these! Thank you! God they’re so dashing…and so gentle (mostly)
hahaha, you should see me smiling… it’s -5 here but it warms my heart that you enjoyed them! I generated some of those based on your own words. If you give me permission, I would like to publish them (giving you credit for the prompts, of course!).
btw if that’s of any interest to anyone, I also generated some (mostly-)non-sizey D&D pally stuff (warning : some blood & death):
