Let’s be honest now… Zuckerberg is building a globally-distributed, industrial-scale, disaster-proof spank bank for himself.
Comment on Meta pirated and seeded porn for years to train AI, lawsuit says

So what are they doing with the data? Is this all being fed into the LLM or image generating AI to create ultra realistic porn? To what end? I don’t see their endgame unless it involves sexbots.

Well, Stable Diffusion 3 supposedly purposefully removed all porn from their training and negatively trained the model on porn and it apparently destroyed the model’s ability to generate proper anatomy.
Regardless, image generation models need some porn in training to at least know what porn is so that they know what porn is not.
It’s part of a process called regularization, or preventing any particular computational model from over-fitting.

Well, there’s also censorbots.

A lot of artists will practice anatomy by drawing people nude, largely because it’s hard to get a good understanding of anatomy by only drawing people with clothes on.
If you wanted to put some examples of bare human anatomy in odd positions to expand the range that the model is capable of, well there aren’t many large corpuses of that than porn.
Also, even if they don’t want it to make explicit content, they probably want it to make “suggestive” or “appealing” content. And they just assume they can guide rail it away from making actual explicit content. Although that’s probably pretty short sighted given how weak guardrails really are.
