I mean Drawn Characters don’t really translate as a 1 to 1 with real human features. So it’d be difficult to reliably program an effective Ai. As the training data is all over the place. Doubly so if the character isn’t human.

Not to mention the host of legal arguments, moral arguments and liability you’d open yourself up to. As Artists are extremely touchy about anything AI related at the moment. (Edit: Recently informed the following sentence actually isn’t the case. But leaving it in post anyway.) And the drawn art in question is not explicitly illegal under the current letter of the law.

And to get a reliable set of training data for the AI. Well. You’d probably have to buy it or get the Artists explicit permission. Just yoinking art off the web to train an AI can open you up to legal issues. And by purchasing the large quantity you’d need to train a reliable system. You’d loose the claim of the Moral High ground.

And the last hurdle. You’d either need to convince the site owners to implement your AI. Or purchase the website and do so yourself. And by doing that you’ll be saddled with a moneypit. Websites aren’t turning the profit they used to. And the folks who own DeviantArt know as well as anyone that Porn is one of the major traffic drivers. They aren’t going to threaten their income, by giving users and artists a reason to abandon ship over real or imagined fears their own unrelated art is next, without a legitimate legal threat.

Not arguing for or against. Just pointing out it’s an immense can of worms to open up. And sets legal precedents that could be used in non-porn related cases in the future.
