With the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI), a new form of pornography has emerged: AI-generated pornography (AI pornography, AI adult content, synthetic pornography). This phenomenon encompasses both entirely fictional content and deepfake pornography, which involves non-consensual depictions of celebrities and private individuals. While non-consensual deepfake pornography has sparked widespread concern, the broader range of experiences associated with AI pornography remains under-researched. This study aimed to address this gap by examining the spectrum of AI pornography experiences as shared on Reddit, adopting a communication process perspective. Specifically, it explored the following research questions (RQ): How do Reddit users address the production (RQ1), content (RQ2), use (RQ3), effects (RQ4), and ethical-legal implications (RQ5) of AI pornography in their posts? A total of 390 English-language public Reddit posts related to AI pornography were collected in August 2024 and analyzed using a manual quantitative content analysis guided by a reliability-tested codebook (mean Cohen's kappa = 0.88). The analysis revealed that the production (RQ1: 59.5%) and content (RQ2: 60.8%) of AI pornography were the most frequently discussed topics, while use experiences (RQ3: 12.8%) were the least represented. Effects (RQ4: 37.2%) and ethical-legal implications (RQ5: 35.1%) were addressed in approximately one-third of posts. The AI pornography experiences addressed in Reddit posts ranged from outrage and concern regarding its actual and potential harms to curiosity, enjoyment, and economic benefits, underscoring the need for a nuanced response from policymakers, technology developers, educators, and mental health professionals.
随着生成式人工智能（AI）的兴起，一种新的色情形式出现了：人工智能生成的色情内容（AI色情、AI成人内容、合成色情）。这种现象既包括完全虚构的内容，也包括深度伪造色情内容，后者涉及未经同意对名人和普通人的描绘。虽然未经同意的深度伪造色情内容引发了广泛关注，但与人工智能色情相关的更广泛体验仍未得到充分研究。本研究旨在通过从传播过程的角度审视Reddit上分享的人工智能色情体验范围来填补这一空白。具体而言，它探讨了以下研究问题（RQ）：Reddit用户在其帖子中如何讨论人工智能色情的制作（RQ1）、内容（RQ2）、使用（RQ3）、影响（RQ4）以及伦理法律问题（RQ5）？2024年8月共收集了390篇与人工智能色情相关的英文Reddit公开帖子，并使用由经过信效度测试的编码手册指导的手动定量内容分析方法进行分析（平均科恩kappa系数=0.88）。分析表明，人工智能色情的制作（RQ1：59.5%）和内容（RQ2：60.8%）是讨论最频繁的话题，而使用体验（RQ3：12.8%）的讨论最少。约三分之一的帖子涉及影响（RQ4：37.2%）和伦理法律问题（RQ5：35.1%）。Reddit帖子中提到的人工智能色情体验范围广泛，从对其实际和潜在危害的愤怒与担忧，到好奇、享受和经济利益，这凸显了政策制定者、技术开发者、教育工作者和心理健康专业人员需要做出细致入微的回应。
