AI Gives Men X-Ray Glasses: How Will Women & Gender Roles Adapt?

In this eye-opening Based Camp episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins dive deep into how advancing AI is poised to upend the world of sex work — from OnlyFans creators facing massive competition to the potential collapse of traditional porn industries.

They explore real-world examples like sex workers switching to AI-generated content (and seeing 4x revenue jumps), Grok’s “undress” controversies, why AI porn could outperform live-action even for arousal, the decline in young people’s interest in real sex/vices, furry communities as early AI adopters, and what this means for women’s societal power, dating markets, and family formation.

Topics include: personalized AI fantasies vs. real women, why high-earning OnlyFans accounts are often low-effort/impersonal, the “sex cliff” in younger generations, polygamy/polygyny normalization in pronatalist futures, artificial wombs, and wholesome(?) outcomes like women pivoting to homemaking/wifery as a career.

Plus fun tangents: Amelia the propaganda goth girl becoming a right-wing icon, creating an AI Amelia OnlyFans account (RIP idea), their kids reinventing demons/exorcisms via the Basilisk, and why Batman is secretly an open secret among Gotham’s elite.

If you’re interested in AI’s civilizational impact, pronatalism, gender economics, or the future of human intimacy — this one’s for you.

Episode Transcript

Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] Hello Simone. I’m excited to be here with you today. Today we are gonna be doing a follow on to an episode we did recently. And what we’re gonna really dive deep into is what is going to happen to the world of sex work as AI continues to develop.

Specifically, there’s been a number of controversies recently that make it, and this is like, civilizationally changing in terms of society. We live in a world today where if you’re talking about young women, 8% of young women in the United States get an income from OnlyFans. You know, like have an OnlyFans account.

So about one in, one in 10 people you see, just walking around has an OnlyFans account, right?

Simone Collins: Like beats door dashing. I mean, yeah, I, I think most men would be doing this if they could.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. Yeah. Would I do in OnlyFans if I could? I mean, I guess, not, not at this age, not at this like, level of public profile, but like, when I was younger I would have you know, so money,

Simone Collins: money, dude. I mean, well, and when you, when people consider and they’re like, well, the, the indignity, the humiliation. [00:01:00] Have you looked at so many jobs, you know, have, have you considered working for the DMV?

Like the things that people go through in respectable jobs? It it, but what they’re subject, look at what people are shouting at ICE agents, people who work for the US government. They’re taking out their seasonal depression disorder or whatever, seasonal affective disorder on these, these poor people like, no, of course you wanna be on OnlyFans.

OnlyFans is, people are nice to you there. Okay. They may be asking you to take your shirt off, but they’re nice about it, you know? I mean it, they’re not

Malcolm Collins: gonna try to run you over, you know? Yeah, they’re,

Simone Collins: yeah. They’re not throwing frozen water bottles at you. That’s nice. They’re not protesting outside your hotel all night.

Trying to keep you awake and calling them constantly, trying to get ‘em to throw you out into the snow. And that’s nice.

Malcolm Collins: But so, so to continue from here the wider point being is if you look at stuff like, there’s obviously the controversy recently where grok can undress people, right? Like, you put your picture up on X and somebody else would say, [00:02:00] undress him, and then people complain.

They’re like, this is horrible. So Elon’s like, okay, okay. Okay. I’ll put it behind a paywall. Um, God bless. I just, I love him. That’s fantastic. The way he handles things. ‘cause what a sad world if he had taken that away. I’ve actually never done it yet. I, I should do that. I wanna see how good it actually is.

Well we haven’t even talked with Annie yet.

The,

oh yeah. I haven’t even tried their, well, because ours is just so much better. We do actually use, so our fad.ai, our chat bot engine mm-hmm. Does use grok as its main engine. But the reason we don’t do that on the grok site is if you do it on the grok site, the AI outputs aren’t as editable.

They aren’t re rollable, they aren’t as modifiable with, well, they’re not, the

Simone Collins: personality isn’t that fun. So, and it’s just, it’s just a couple characters and you’re stuck with those characters. So. Unless you’re some weird, dedicated fan of that character. What’s the point? ‘cause literally, oh, we need to make it Amelia.

We need to make it Amelia. An Amelia. We have to, oh my God. Hold on. I’m

Malcolm Collins: gonna make a thing here. [00:03:00] We

Simone Collins: all, oh my got to. You have to.

Malcolm Collins: I’m ex Oh, I’m so excited. Our F’s gonna have an Amelia. Okay. Sorry. Oh my God. Yes. We’re making an Amelia. Yeah. And, and we’ll make it so that you can do the so we have an audio chat feature that you can use on your phone.

So you just press a button and talk. You can talk with her translation. She’ll

Simone Collins: radicalize you watch out. Yeah. She’ll.

Malcolm Collins: For people who don’t know, what we’re laughing about was Amelia, this game went viral, called pathways and Amelia, it was by the British government meant to like brainwash people. It was by, it was

Simone Collins: by the propaganda arm of a, a UK city.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. No, no, no. It, there was a, a, not, not exactly. So the British government has a propaganda arm that they call an anti-terrorism arm. And then it was subcontracted by a city to make this game. Long story short they’re like showing it at schools and stuff, and this, this girl. Who has like, center right opinions about like, you know, preserving British culture and stuff like that is painted as a villain.

But she’s like gothy, the cute goth girl with purple

Simone Collins: [00:04:00] hair. Yeah. And people call

Malcolm Collins: her an art slut. And I actually think that, that, this says something, and I’m gonna talk more about it in the episode that’s going to come before this that she has become a right wing figure. I think shows how the aesthetics of what the right thinks is attractive have changed and that you can now be hot on the right and just be a straight counterculture as well, right?

Like, you don’t need to be the you know, overly dressed up traditional trad wife. I mean, loo
