<p>Right now, the real world is distorted by the virtual: filters, poses, masks, etc. create images in our imagination that don't actually exist. As a result - inflated expectations, disappointments, suicides.</p>
<p>If cosmetics were version 1.0, then virtual filters are version 2.0. It seems that generative algorithms are pushing us even further.</p>
<p>What will remain of real relationships with imperfect people when everyone can have a humanoid robot that looks and changes as we wish, speaks and thinks as it suits us, and generally does everything that personally brings us pleasure?</p>
<p>The virtual porn industry is already one step away (for example, Unstable Diffusion, which has lifted restrictions on erotic content that Stable Diffusion has), and the sex toys industry is on the way.</p>
