Hope this post meets you all well,,,I recently encountered a provider on TER who used an AI image edit for her profession profile pic. Uhm, am I am asshole if I say I felt weirded out. It's not just about the pic but the personality one would have to apply such. Idk guys. What do you think

AI is the future. More and more young people are using it a lot. But its usage has rapidly progressed. Many are still figuring out where the line blurs between acceptable and not acceptable. Of course, like many advancements, older folks, me included, are less on board and pushing back and younger folks are more likely to buy in and push the envelope. Personally, my opinion is still evolving.

If they are honest about it I think it is OK. Are they editing out a blemish or a stray hair? Changing the lighting? Or are they using in to make them look 25 when in fact they are 45? I think more of what we are seeing in this community that is the bigger problem is entire "providers" being created that are AI. I do not have any only fans account but I can only assume that whole website is running rampant with fake AI profiles. Even if the account starts with a real person, if you can create all of the photos and clips just using AI, what is the incentive right now to make real photos and video clips? I don't know the answer.

It maybe the future, but it’s false and misleading in any business.

Both are used to enhance an image. Obviously,  AI makes it eadier for the non professional,  but both can, and are, used yo an extreme in this industry.

Unfortunately, you can't make everyone happy. 😊  

I believe raw images are best. I offer exclusive content on my VIP onlyfans. I feel it’s a small price to pay to see all of me. You get a vibe of my personality by seeing everyday things it’s, like try before you buy.  

I’ve been disappointed myself meeting people whom I was a fan on their photos until we met in person and they looked nothing, like the photoshopped pictures it’s very unfortunate. The worst is when their personality is caca 💩 and try to portray being kind. 😆  

The ultimate compliment is you look better in person.

Women have been getting professional photoshoots for years.

In my experience, each shoot costs about $2,000, and I’ll do up to five a year. So yes — I’ve invested a lot into creating professional-quality photos. But with AI editing tools today, I can now capture that same level of quality right from my phone. Honestly, it’s made me less inclined to spend thousands each time, even though I’ve still done it twice in the last five months.

The photos are there so you know exactly what I look like. If I ever showed up and didn’t look like my photos — or better — you’d have every right to turn me away and write a review about it.

Some ladies will die on the hill of “no editing” or “selfies only,” but here’s how I see it:

Have you ever looked up and seen a beautiful full moon — glowing, perfect — and tried to take a picture of it? What did you get? A blurry white blob that looks nothing like what your eyes saw. Yet, the only stunning moon photos you’ve ever seen have all been edited — not to fake the moon, but to make it look the way it truly appeared in real life.

That’s exactly how I view my photos. When I look in the mirror and think, “Wow, I look amazing right now,” I’ll take a quick selfie. But bad lighting, angles, and the camera’s limitations don’t always capture what I see. So, I use a little AI magic to make the image reflect reality — to show you what you would actually see if you were standing in front of me.

And in addition to that, I’ve updated some of my older photos to better reflect how I look now. I’ve lost over 35 pounds in the past two years, and I have thousands of dollars’ worth of professional photos from before that transformation. Rather than let them go to waste, I’ve refined a few so they match my current appearance more accurately.

I don’t edit to deceive — I edit to represent myself honestly. Technology just helps me bridge the gap between how I look in person and what the camera captures.

This must be what delusion is?  And I don't mean any harm, but are you rationalizing what you just typed?  And let me preface this by saying, you're a very attractive, gorgeous woman (from the photos I have seen).  But "I don’t edit to deceive — I edit to represent myself honestly."  An honest representation of yourself is to not edit.  "Technology just helps me bridge the gap between how I look in person and what the camera captures."  There is no "gap" bridging, either you look like yourself in the picture or you look like someone or something else that you're attempting to portray.  
.
I'm sorry, but we are in a hobby where a client sees a photo then automatically gets intrigued and decides to reach out by what he/she sees and wants that.  The difference between a beautiful full moon glowing and an escort/paid companion is you're not paying a thousand dollars to make out with the moon.  
.
From a clients standpoint, I like what I like, and sometimes I like a girl next door, sometimes I like a model/video vixen type, sometimes I like a curvy, mature, full figured woman, but what I don't like is showing up to see someone and finding out that their photos have been edited.  I would much rather see unedited regular pics, selfies, etc. rather than something edited to perfection.  

Maybe I shouldn’t have pulled back the curtain quite so far, but I was being honest about the process — not trying to rationalize it.

You have 94 reviews, so you’ve clearly met a lot of beautiful women. Do you truly believe all of those photos on their sites were untouched and unedited? In an age where every camera automatically smooths, filters, and color-balances, “unedited” has become a bit of a myth. I just hope you never find out that one of your favorites used something other than raw photos. I didn’t come here to argue; I was simply sharing my perspective.

For me, it’s not about deception — it’s about presentation and pride. I care about how I represent myself, so I invest time in creating photos that are polished and accurate. A well-lit, thoughtfully composed image shows care and confidence. I use subtle edits only to highlight what’s real — not to change it — so that what you see is what you’ll recognize when we meet. If we meet and I don’t look like my photos, you’d have every right to be disappointed. But when I show up, you’ll find I look the same — maybe even better. That’s not delusion; that’s careful presentation and honesty done well. And honestly, I sometimes wonder — do the ladies who blur their faces feel like they’re being deceptive? Do they show up with a big smear across their face? Of course not. They’ve edited their photos too, concealing their entire identity. To me, that’s far more misleading. If I lightly smooth a few lines because harsh lighting made them stand out more than they do in person, while another woman hides her face completely yet insists “what you see is what you get” — who’s really being more honest?

Obviously, we don’t agree — and that’s okay.

I understand that you prefer untouched photos, and that’s your choice. For me, I prefer images that are polished, cohesive, and reflective of the care I put into my appearance. I don’t see that as deception — I see it as presentation. Everyone has their own comfort level with what feels authentic, and that’s perfectly fine.

I’m just surprised that so many people believe most photos online are completely raw — as if every lighting angle, every detail, and every frame comes out camera-perfect. Most professional-looking images have some refinement behind them. It’s not about changing reality; it’s about taking pride in what you share.

First, I have strong belief that your post was written at least with help of Ai. I checked your post history and sure as hell youve never used emdash as much as you used in these last two posts. As well as specific enumerations used by - wait for it - llm AIs.  

 
Second, the guys whole point is that you claim you peddle truth yet you are editing and using tools to make yourself look better than you really are.  

 
Do you know the acronym of WYSIWYG and why it's considered a compliment in this biz?  

It means you get what you see. Not the marketing dolled up image that makes product or service look good and entices people to spend money, but representational truth.  

 
You then engage in whataboutism about the girls he reviewed. Why does it matter if their pics were edited?  

Unlike with you, we don't know if they claimed that they were all honest and real and denied editing as a tool of deception.  

 
When you try to make a moral statement, you cannot do whataboutism. It doesn't work. I know a lot of escorts lie to use the restaurant analogy with pics of burgers that look mouthwatering but in reality they look like soggy crap (burgers that is). It's their attempt of rationalizing of what they do is okay. Because if others are doing and making cash monw
ey why can't they?  

 
Well it's either one or the other. Either you have the moral sense to understand that marketing a product making it look much better than in reality, is wrong and detrimental to a consumer. Or you simply dont care about it and because everyone else is doing it you feel okay with deceiving and making money off it.  

 
But you choose to claim that by using tools that enhance your looks you are not deceiving but enhancing the truth? Huh? Editing enhances your looks and make it better than you are. Makeup enhances your looks and makes it seem better than you are. Fake silicon makes certain body parts seem better than they naturally are. And so on and so forth. Not disclosing it and presenting them as real is deception of some degree.  

 
About the least I could ask is to at least to not lie to yourself.  

 
Oh and... using Ai generated text templates makes it so your language, diction and grammar appear more eloquent than they really are.

Imma former pro photog and boudoir photography is challenging. Just like wedding photography, sports, outdoor, underwater, etc. Even with a $5K DSLR and $3K glass pro photogs make mistakes all the time and fix them in post. Photography lighting is both an art and science. I just helped a gal with a mini shoot and 70% of my pics needed help in post. She got tired of waiting on me to improve with Photoshop and Lightroom and she downloaded and paid a small fee and used Evoto AI. Each picture turned out fantastic, at least as good as what I can do in post and many much better. She has zero post skills and improved about 30/300 pics in one day!

Another note, I just downloaded and started using Adobe Project Indigo on my iPhone 16 Pro. It yields much better results than the iOS Camera app. It leverages AI very well.

On the job front I use AI almost every day. It really helps improve and accelerate complex research. For financial analysis I can get amazing and concise results in under 30 minutes for projects that usually took four hours or more.

I’m 58yo and embracing AI.

What does "an AI image edit for her profession profile pic" actually mean here as I can see a very wide range of interpretations. From, all professional photos are touched up to remove blemishes (both real and from the act of photographing), correct lighting/shadow and what not. Then next step is to take those actions farther to really enhance the looks (think things like shape of face and body, age, weight). The to making the person look so different you would think another person was photographed. And then, of course, maybe even a complete AI fabrication where the picture is fully generated by the AI process and there was never even a photo of the specific person involved.

And while Id never use AI to change my appearance, it can be loads of fun. I have a couple of shots on my X page of me flying, and in my trash I have hilarious mistakes like my head spinning around and around
