X/XXX-rated content shouldn't require metadata

While I’m not a fan of XXX-rated porn, X/XXX-rated content shouldn’t require metadata. It’s meant to verify if a NSFW image is AI-generated, but it sounds disadvantageous, since some people may choose to not show their NSFW images’ metadata, perhaps to protect them from being stolen or used in unethical ways.

For example, let’s say that someone chooses to not provide metadata of their watermarked NSFW image when they post it to Civitai. This is because they don’t want thieves to steal it and put it behind a paywall. If providing metadata is required, then if they do so, they would then be vulnerable to this situation, as the thief can exactly remix the image using the same seed.

So, while it can hide celebrity porn images and deceptive example images for a model that aren’t generated with it, it would only make things worse, especially for those who don’t want their works to be used in unethical ways.
