Ai and Prostitution 2024
May 28
Written By Kathryn Dutchak
The mechanisms driving the state in 2024 are accelerating at a rapid pace, creating ease for consumers and workforce employees everywhere. However, as a new technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is the most controversial part of our lives. Was AI an inevitable consequence of nation’s right to create?
One of the most depending on, and least recognized aspects of the world is prostitution. The black market relies on coveting people for the sake of bodies, not for the human person behind them. Who does this and why? Obviously, discrimination and hate crime are an innate, if not completely out of control, as the last fifteen years had emergencies throughout the world that were either overblown or ignored to a fault. Realistically, intellectuals can say there are two histories. There is the history before Covid-19, and the one that started after, the world resetting itself to have a different agenda after the most dangerous plague we have seen for a 100 years.
What does this mean for the generation of people taking the reigns after losing so many vulnerable, front line and senior citizens? AI, the promise of easier work can mean ease of burden, our people are benefited by erasing some of the cumbersome tasks that pre- artificial intelligence created. It can also open up the issues of if there are spaces that are not well supported by our knowledge and control, (like prostitution and behind closed doors fetishes), this type of technology could get in and stay in, without anybody being able to help. If they can’t help already, could criminal networks using these sophisticated technologies make it even easier to control people and homes to keep these types of industries moving, and like any black market?
This is not out of the range of possibilities, and as somebody who has dealt with technology hijacking and types of surveillance, the consequences on vulnerable populations are insurmountable, taxing the police force like no other, while benefiting certain companies who may already own these types of technologies. What would it take to harvest body parts for information’s sake, or to turn people into things that could benefit another for reason only they know? Are we ready to even talk about this without being either so on board with new frontiers we tune out and abuse? Or so afraid we deny it without even considering it?
What would the petty benefits be if somebody from a disadvantaged standpoint only learned to use AI to get off on another person? As much as everything new is state-of-the-art and controlled by the most experienced, most entrepreneurs that come up with this type of stuff are quick to forget and move onto new projects later to keep up with industry standards, forgetting that several years down the line, something handled responsibly now could be stolen, sold or adapted by people. Is AI the same, and once out in the general masses, does it have the ability to control groups that have already been the subject of control, prostitutes obviously being the most obvious target?
As fascism all over the world was rising, the lines between people became so bad that online cyber hate and arbitrary killing was beyond what the previous generation knew to be true. Our children, if we have them, are being raised in a cold state full of suppressed fear where the general feeling was what was once good and holy was replaced by the certainty that humans will destroy themselves on their own technology, and the there is no low that they cannot reach. This in turn, causes them to act as bad as possible, almost as if they can go there, they will go there, as the eventual threat of it is worth them doing it, because at least then, they would be the ones to do it. However, that becomes the new threat, where the bar for what we can do to each other is set, creating a new set of conditions to be mandatorily adopted by organizations like nuclear bombs against each other.
Human trafficking and organ harvesting is a cruel and twisted part of our lives, and as people who witness this stuff online, far be it that we know it enough to deal with it, never mind speak. Will our greed and fetishes create even worse scenarios or have they already? As somebody who thinks they have seen this already, the idea that our lives may not be as guaranteed as they were, that AI and prostitution can benefit each other in our lifetime without our consent. This is crucially important, as another layer of profit or crime is just one more product in a vast list of terrible taboos that pay off for no reason other then its bad enough for some to benefit.
The other side of it, is the AI could create scenarios where people are left with no other option but to exploit others, as the means to control it would be so expensive and hard to learn, that blackouts either online or in cities could happen, creating spaces where nobody can fix the issues because nobody affected could get up to the league that could fix it. For example, if something that could control workers like sweat shops were to breakout in previously exploited areas with cell phones and electronics, how would those citizens have a way of getting out if they don’t already have the tools to undo it? If somebody can exploit people enough to traffic them, wouldn’t adding AI techniques to make it cheaper just be a new common place way of safeguarding their investment as already a controversial and terrible industry to look out for?
The only way to counteract this type of AI threat is study intelligence itself- what types of intelligence exploits and what types benefit? Can we also use AI to catch this stuff, knowing certain environments create evil, and some create actual greatness, depending on their brain, their genetics and what they have seen in generations? As some cultures exploit, others enhance, so how are we to discover AI and humans without unearthing millions of years of learned instinct? In fact, with decades of psychology and mental health since the industrial revolution being pretty much the least deserving field for study and research, more going to machines and the STEM fields, the amount that we don’t know as people is pitiful compared to how many atrocities have been committed worldwide between each other. Are we really what we think we are, or are people born good, and turn into broken humans because of the poor research we put into our cities and societies since?
Before, intelligence was about teaching children to learn and then behave in society. At most, it could be thought of as a way of reaching enlightenment, but only from certain scholars and privileges people, the masses being deemed unable or unwilling to learn enough to be more then their rank in society. However, the more we pretend to use intelligence for our projects, the more we may see it in reverse, when an electronic or a robot looks back at us. Does putting it on another object make us realize how much we are missing about our own intelligence, now that we deal with it outside of us? What does that make us a people, would the certain needs that create prostitution going obsolete because we are no longer struggling in the dark for an answer? Those who are targeted for prostitution can now be understood better as more and more comes out about what is not true about their brains to begin with, with preconceptions about prostitution being the most obvious weak point for so many capable people.
However, this being said, the lines between the people who created AI and those who are targeted by them for sex and coercion and experimentation are challenged as the people who own, or feel like they have the right to own, the technology which feels superior to those who may not. So depriving them of their rights to technology, only to exploit them with it, is a very real risk that goes back thousands of years to what creates cultural domination, as the gun may have emasculated the First Nations during colonial times. At the time, these people feel like this is their right, as the have ‘evolved’ to own it, however, their failings as people cause them to look at others as something to control. Would technology to the degree of AI do this as well, once altruistic and fine, next in a different era, just another weapon to exploit another country with in darker times?
As well, in terms of taboo, how do we, as adults know what the extent this messy problem can become? If the internet has taught us anything, it’s that only a small portion of it exists above ground, the top-net is most the work or artist, intellectuals, consumers and homemakers looking to share resources. However, as almost all of the dark-net relates to porn, prostitution and black market, how are we to trust that AI would not go the same way? As this obviously the path these technologies take as they follow human basic instinct? If child porn also exist, the idea that laws could circumvent the issues with the more they get assisted by the machines, the promiscuous they can seem, creating a need to go back to the days were young women in their teens and early twenties were the subject for men to marry, as their body parts were their only required assets, not their heads, as that can be replaced by the tools we have. The common notion that children can become more spoiled with technology does not mean immaturity, it means a different kind of exposure and intelligence which means different result later on. If their early tweens are social media posts that wouldn’t be allowed in the magazines of our old generation, what will their thirties and forties look like if they never knew an internet-free dating life was? Will it just be full of hijackers and hackers who experiment on people’s lives, even at ten years old?
