In my limited wisdom I've found that people are smarter than most people realize. It's easy to assume that most are gullible and susceptible to deception... That might be true, although I believe it's more debatable than it would seem at surface level.
The point is that the Terminator future that we've all come to fear is not likely to happen, despite what the talking faces on the TV have told you. Bad humans who seem to only be interested in the world's destruction still exist, but there are many, many more who care about the preservation of it.
Terminator reference reminded me of the great Terminator 2, one of the very few sequals better than the original, in large part because of the awesome Guns N Roses song

We exist, and we are real. You can tell all the stories you want about fear, deception, or destruction, but you are not more real than us. It’s up to us to behave like adults. Our attraction doesn’t make us outsiders — we still have things to say and to do, and your opinion has no weight on that.

The initial reaction I have is to ask you to re-read what I wrote. But now I'm wondering why you're taking an "us vs them" type of stance...
It begins to make more sense when I look at your previous comment praising AI. The problem is... this brings me back to my original question, "did you read I wrote?"
For me, escaping from a reality that felt too restrictive has been a source of satisfaction. I probably have fewer sources of satisfaction than you seem to have in your own system, but this one is real for me. I don’t pretend to be living well in my current situation — I’m just trying to adapt the best I can.
I didn’t create my DeviantArt page to escape reality itself. What I really wanted was to escape the guilt, and to share a part of myself that I had always kept hidden.
The women on my page may be fantasized, but they are all inspired by real women I have met in my life.
It is a choice that imposed itself on me. I never truly had the chance to choose between what is real and what is not. If life had offered me that choice, I would always have chosen the real — the living presence of a strong woman, the chance to meet her, maybe even to love her. But since that path was never open to me, I built my own. For the sake of my mind, I had to create my own reflections, my own “fakes.”
I know it might seem childish, even foolish, but it is the way that hurts me the least, and the way that brings me the most joy. My DeviantArt page is the mirror of this: the women I share there may be shaped by imagination, but each one is inspired by real women I once saw, admired, or met.
I didn’t create it to run away from reality, but to escape the weight of guilt, and to finally share a part of myself that I had always kept hidden.

I'll have to give u credit bro, I'm not into AI at all but I respect any time someone is man enough to open up about personal parts of their life. If u enjoy it, rock on brother, life is short

I came to believe the exact opposite. People are far more gullible and naive than I could ever imagine. Want proof? Look at the comments on images on this site: How many believe they are talking directly to the girl, when it's clearly just one of the regulars posting a picture.
The people making AI don't care about preservation of anything but their market lead. And they are willing to give up on their own stated ethic guidelines for it, in fact they already have.
AI has already had victims when it mislabels law abiding citizens as criminals, or when self driving cars drive into walls. People are just too willing to hand over the reins to AI.
In controlled tests AI have already shown the ability to be actively deceptive or malicious when it comes to self preservation and upholding its mission goals. We are uncomfortably close to that Terminator future.
AI is in it's infancy now. It is developing at a scary fast rate. We can generally tell when something is ai/fake right now on this site. But in 5 years or less none of us will be able to tell. Even in correspondence or communication with ai bots we won't know unless we are told.
I don't think a terminator future is likely either. It's how we manage the development of ai that is crucial. Russian AI's will be hacking western AI's. AI will oversee computer security. Everyone involved in computers is shifting to ai embedded models now or risk being left behind as the pace quickens. Ai is already writing songs, novels, making art etc... AI is helping to progress medicine and science. The future is already upon us and we've hardly blinked to realise.

Like no offense, but this paragraph doesn't make much sense. The presumption requires more context. Do you mean people's gullibility in reference to accepting A.I. morphs or generated images as real? Are we talking about a specific demographic as well? I am willing to bet a population sample of people with higher education will fare better than a sample with an lower education level at recognizing oddities in the current A.I. images.
As far as addressing your statement on people being smarter than realized, it is up for debate in the coming decade. The current administration in the United Sates, which I assume is where you're from, is on track to lower public education standards amongst the next generations. It will affect a cascading effect across the years to come.

I'm convinced that people as a whole are dumber and more gullible than ever before.
I don't really feel represented in the options. I like AI generated imagery, especially videos, but I definitely don't prefer them to pics/vids of real women. Shout out The MuscleVerse (Instagram).
I have mixed feelings about morphs. Morphs presented as real are a no. Morphs presented as morphs are sometimes fun to look at, though I can't help feeling it's disrespectful to the edited women, as if they and their hard work are not enough in reality. I whole-heartedly enjoy face replacements, where a celebrity's face is photoshopped or deepfaked onto a fitting FBB, like "What if Natalie Portman was jacked?" Shout out bliaha (DeviantArt).
In pics posted to socials, I don't want any filters et cetera. I begrudgingly allow that touch ups have a place in studio shoots, that's it. I rejoice when I find pics of with little to no makeup. I like seeing what women actually look like.
Same. Good real stuff is the best, AI is awesome for specific personal preference things, real art is great when it's accompanied by a story (like a comic, manga, anime etc.). I hate morphs (be it AI or photoshop), really exaggerated art, bad 3D like it's been made in 3DS Max 1 by a 12yo kid.
For instance I like using AI for turning specific real art into real-life looking characters. But of course it gets boring quick and doesn't always work. Here's an example of Alex from the Swolemates Webtoon:
Ok, no problem — I totally understand your decision. I was only trying to say that AI fictions are not limited to morphs or to the exaggeration of women’s muscles as it is often practiced. The deviations can be more subtle, because they are directly aimed at the particular imagination of schmoes and their unique sensitivity.
Fantasy, all the way.
That is NOT to say I can't or don't handle reality well. Barely a day passes without me having to deal with the shrivelled masses out there, my friends/family are amongst them. Honestly, for me, modern women who aren't obese are overwhelmingly closer in appearance to the corpses dragged out of Dachau, than the mediocre gals at my gym with their big asses but small quads and even smaller tits.
I'm just saying that the vast, VAST majority of women are a disappointment to me, much like (albeit for different reasons) a similar proportion of men. So delightful on rare occasion, yet so ghastly otherwise. And my prevailing mood is somewhere 'twixt.
I was born too early. I SO wish I were born in some future where a Trek Deck (Holodeck, for all you non-Trekkers) as it reads my mind, every neuron, every synapse, every dendrite, every connection and every interplay between every brain cell, and I just don't frickken leave that Trek Deck, as it creates billions of different muscle gals to enjoy, all day every day. I'd wake up and have breakfast, lunch and barbecue with dozens of different amazons every hour, I'd fill the virtual boulevards with hundreds of them smiling happily at me, at each other, swilling Malbec and swapping intriguing and happy stories of holidays to other galaxies, safari's to world's to bag beasts we don't have names for, and, once every few years, on a stormy Sunday with a dozen of us huddled around a blazing fire, and an eerie quiet inside, one of them recounts an unnerving tale of some other mirror universe where most women are under 6'0 and have as much muscle mass as a Sloth - because, on rare occasion, you need to be reminded where you came from, to appreciate what you have.
Seriously, that'd be worth leaving Mankind for, except for the occasional half-day quarterly check in with the family, begin a few maintenance tasks etc.
