Let's get one thing straight right away: I'm not a Luddite (человек, который боится новых технологий или активно выступает против прогресса и автоматизации – прим. Doberman.media). I use AI in my daily life and a little bit for creative work. Recording a song, getting an idea for an album cover—that’s fine. In my daily life, a neural network serves as my lawyer, analyst, or strict punctuation editor. That last part is especially for sensitive grammar police, so they can safely get off on the commas in my texts without getting distracted by mistakes. But there are areas where I’m categorically against “machine intrusion”: these are HR, Social Media, and Sex.
I'll start with work. Now the search for employees has turned into a war between the AI recruiter and the AI applicant. This is a battle of algorithms: one robot scans keywords, the other adjusts resumes to them. As a result, a "perfect code" candidate comes to the interview, who in real life cannot connect two words and is devoid of a spark. This is a battle of scripts, not a search for a professional who will look at the business through human eyes.
It's the same crap on social media: there are now bots that write comments, like posts, and shape the feed all on their own. You go into the comments section hoping for a flame war or some support, but all you find is the polite hum of scripts. Who is all this for? For other AIs. I think that in the near future, "handcrafted" content will become many times more expensive and valuable, but finding it in this digital trash heap will only get harder.
Some have gone even further, and it feels like by 2026 we'll have finally gone too far.
AI has created a new standard of "beauty" that a living person – with all his breakfasts, sleep deprivation and genetics – is as close to the moon as cancer.
And these aren't just "pictures for inspiration." It's a poison that slowly kills our libido. We get used to a kind of sterility that doesn't exist.

Recently, I watched a conflict between bloggers: one ordered a digital avatar for Instagram and was dissatisfied, and the second threw up his hands - they say, this is the only way for now. AI is still "raw" in creating videos, it does not know the geometry of the body well: an extra finger will come out, then the pupils will swim, turning erotica into body horror. From my experience, I will say: out of 30 minutes of generated video, fifteen seconds are good. Everything else depends on the prompt and the person who writes it.
What is AI missing?
He lacks a story. Scars that are part of his story, not a flaw.
I tried to create my own AI avatar, and you know what was missing? Me. I grew up in sports. Figure skating isn’t just about beautiful jumps—it’s about scraped knees and a constant struggle with my own body. The scars on my knees tell the story of how I fell and got back up. The wrinkles around my eyes show that I know how to laugh.

A neural network cannot draw a story – it draws a mannequin. And when we choose a mannequin instead of a person, we voluntarily castrate our sensuality.
After all, it’s not the perfect pixel ratio that captivates you, but the realization that you’re looking at a real person with their own experiences, pain, and passion.
Latest news: Grindr launches its own AI. They’re the pioneers here; the rest will catch up later. Soon, bots will be flirting with bots until humans finally lose the ability to smell skin. But I’ve made my choice: I’m all for living flesh, real scars, and genuine swearing—not polished pixels.
