A very NSFW website called Pornpen.ai is churning out an endless stream of graphic, AI-generated porn. We have mixed feelings.

    Awesome! Thank you! This is the kind of thought provoking response I was hoping for.

    Additionally, it’s a really good point. I totally missed this interpretation, and I think it’s better than mine.

      That’s hardly even an interpretation. Thirst and hunger as verbs have always meant to desire something.

      Sure, no worries! I haven’t been disappointed yet by responding to downvoted comments so I will keep doing it :)

      Just another similar metaphor: Power hungry. Not the stove kind but the dictator kind. To be honest, there are quite a lot of body related metaphors, e.g. drowning in trouble, blinded by ambition. I guess it comes down to evoking some strong emotion.

        I think a lot of people (myself included) are used to the combative, hostile environment of reddit. An actual friendly disagreement is a foreign concept to them. Personally, I enjoy it when other people present different perspectives. It’s both interesting and a great way to learn.

        And yeah, “power hungry” has a similar vibe. Nice!

          Totally agree, though I haven’t really participated that much on Reddit. Seems like any disagreement is quickly framed as trolling over there.

            Yeah. People are very defensive, because even the insinuation of disagreement is taken as a personal attack. It gets into your head, and takes a while to get over. You forget that reasonable, well-meaning conversations are even possible. It sucks. I’ll never go back.
