VR Porn site SexLikeReal has released a slew of new sex toy interactive scripts for its videos written by an AI tool that the company hopes will drastically increase interactive porn output.
In this context ‘script’ does not mean pages of Scorsese-esque dialogue. Rather, these ‘funscripts’ are vibration and movement patterns for sex toys written to coincide with sex action going on in a VR porn video, synched for an interactive experience. For example: see a VR blowjob through your VR headset, feel a pleasure-giving drawn-out motion through the vibrator or penis stroker you have remotely synced to the video.
These scripts have traditionally been manually written by the professional human Hemingways of VR porn tech, with SexLikeReal also offering money and platform rewards to amateurs writing them for the site. The new tool’s first scripts look set to mark the latest AI threat to professional writers.
SexLikeReal announced that it was working on the AI scriptwriter in January 2023, with the system initially being trained to recognize handjob, blowjob and hip thrust movements in videos. The makers said it was particularly good at tracking clear, continuous movement such as cowgirl and missionary sex positions. Initially it wasn’t so good at tracking movement where body parts weren’t clearly visible.
“At first, the results weren’t great, but over the recent months, our team worked at it, and managed to ‘crack the code’, harnessing AI to create scripts that are indistinguishable from human-made scripts,” a SexLikeReal spokesperson told SEXTECHGUIDE.
The AI-generated scripts can be tweaked by human developers and improved over time. On some of the platform’s videos both AI and human-written scripts are available to choose between, so you can decide which is better. AI-generated scripts are marked as such on the site, and can be streamed or bought to use offline.
The company said that manually writing sex toy scripts for VR porn videos took a long time, and that the AI tool would speed up the process hugely, leading to scripts potentially being available for videos on the day of release.
An extremely NSFW blog published by SexLikeReal in January, when the AI tool was in development, gave further details about how it was created, including gifs showing the synching process.
“It’s clear that the future of VR porn is all about interactivity,” the SexLikeReal spokesperson said.
While SexLikeReal still produces individual scripts for each scene, other companies working with interactive content —such as FeelMe and SyncMo— have opted for a universal platform that dynamically syncs on-screen action with interactive sex toys without the use of pre-made scripts.
