This R-Rated Film Studio Wants to Be the HBO of AI
这家限制级电影工作室想成为 AI 界的 HBO
Demand for artificially generated smut is surging. But the quality of the visual content being created and shared—like on companion apps, where adult performers are selling their likeness to give fans a 24/7 experience, WIRED reported in March—isn’t exactly movie-level caliber.
对人工智能生成的色情内容的需求正在激增。但据《连线》（WIRED）三月份的报道，目前创作和分享的视觉内容质量——例如在伴侣应用中，成人表演者出售自己的肖像权以提供全天候体验——还远未达到电影级的水准。
Rogue Studio, a cinematic AI-generator platform built around adult visual storytelling, is trying to change that. Launching today, the studio, which bills itself as a “playground for creative ethical mischief,” plans to deliver industry-level video production without creative and sexual restrictions. Its marquee product is Rogue 1.0, an AI video-generation tool for making uncensored adult content that is comparable to other pro-level models Hollywood is using.
Rogue Studio 是一个围绕成人视觉叙事构建的电影级 AI 生成平台，它正试图改变这一现状。该工作室于今日上线，自称为“创意伦理恶作剧的游乐场”，计划在不受创意和性内容限制的情况下，提供行业级的视频制作能力。其主打产品是 Rogue 1.0，这是一款用于制作无审查成人内容的 AI 视频生成工具，其质量可与好莱坞使用的其他专业级模型相媲美。
“There really isn’t a place for a sophisticated creator to go make content that’s rated R. Either they go to these skeezy NSFW sites that are built on outdated open-source tech, or they try to do high-quality stuff but they’re censored up the gills,” a Rogue Studio cofounder, who goes by Mr. Rogue, tells WIRED. “It’s a very fine line between being a sophisticated platform for adults versus becoming just a porn site. And we do not want the latter. We want to do what HBO did for television.”
“对于成熟的创作者来说，确实没有一个地方可以制作限制级（R-rated）内容。他们要么去那些基于过时开源技术的低俗 NSFW（不宜在工作场所观看）网站，要么尝试制作高质量内容却受到严苛审查，”一位自称“Rogue 先生”的 Rogue Studio 联合创始人告诉《连线》。“在成为一个成熟的成人平台与仅仅成为一个色情网站之间，界限非常微妙。我们不想成为后者。我们想做 HBO 在电视领域所做的事情。”
Rogue, which has subscription tiers ranging from $29 to $299, offers all the safe-for-work frontier models within its system—similar to Higgsfield, it includes NanoBanana, Seedance, Kling 2.0, and others—in addition to its own proprietary models for generating adult-oriented images and video. Using the platform, you can employ multiple elements from several different AI-generator models when drumming up ideas.
Rogue 的订阅价格从 29 美元到 299 美元不等，其系统内提供了所有适合工作场所（safe-for-work）的前沿模型——类似于 Higgsfield，它包括 NanoBanana、Seedance、Kling 2.0 等——此外还有其专有的用于生成成人导向图像和视频的模型。使用该平台，你可以在构思创意时调用来自多个不同 AI 生成模型的元素。
Let’s say you have a concept for a freaky sci-fi horror short. You could potentially start ideating on a zombie character using Midjourney, then use Rogue’s AI tools to add more high-definition uncensored features to the character.
假设你有一个怪异科幻恐怖短片的构思。你可以先用 Midjourney 构思一个僵尸角色，然后使用 Rogue 的 AI 工具为该角色添加更多高清的无审查细节。
According to its terms of service, Rogue prohibits user-generated images or videos for training, and it strictly forbids the creation or distribution of nonconsensual deepfakes, child sexual abuse material, unauthorized depictions of public figures, and other illegal or abusive imagery.
根据其服务条款，Rogue 禁止使用用户生成的图像或视频进行训练，并严格禁止制作或传播非自愿深度伪造（deepfakes）、儿童性虐待材料、未经授权的公众人物描绘以及其他非法或滥用图像。
In an effort to prevent bad actors from using the platform to make these prohibited visuals, Rogue has three layers of human moderation. The first is at the prompt level, which searches for keywords and flags them for possible account suspension if it is determined that there is clear illegal intent. The next layer is inside the system, called the intention layer. Bad actors might try to outsmart moderators by slightly misspelling a real actor’s name to generate a deepfake image, so moderators will reread the prompt to assess the user’s intent. The final layer analyzes the image or video created before it is shared with the user. For example, if a user prompts “famous blonde singer” and the image generated looks like Taylor Swift, the image won’t get delivered.
为了防止不法分子利用该平台制作这些违禁视觉内容，Rogue 设有三层人工审核机制。第一层是提示词（prompt）层面，系统会搜索关键词，如果判定存在明显的非法意图，则会标记并可能封禁账户。下一层是系统内部的“意图层”。不法分子可能会通过拼写错误真实演员的名字来试图绕过审核生成深度伪造图像，因此审核员会重新阅读提示词以评估用户的意图。最后一层是在图像或视频分享给用户之前进行分析。例如，如果用户输入“著名的金发歌手”，而生成的图像看起来像泰勒·斯威夫特（Taylor Swift），该图像将不会被发送。
Mr. Rogue tells WIRED that he and his fellow cofounder, both of whom are movie producers, have decided not to disclose their names because of the “real risk” involved in being associated with creating erotic-themed work. “Because of the climate right now in Hollywood and working in AI, you have got to be very careful,” Mr. Rogue says. (WIRED verified that the pair of founders do, in fact, work in Hollywood; they have produced movies with a combined box office of over $2 billion.)
Rogue 先生告诉《连线》，他和另一位联合创始人都是电影制片人，由于参与创作色情主题作品存在“现实风险”，他们决定不公开姓名。“考虑到目前好莱坞的环境以及在 AI 领域的工作，你必须非常小心，”Rogue 先生说。（《连线》核实了这两位创始人确实在好莱坞工作；他们制作的电影总票房超过 20 亿美元。）
In the wake of the 2023 Hollywood strikes, where labor unions fought to secure guardrails against the unapproved digital likenesses of actors appearing in films and TV, leading studios have been assessing ways to incorporate AI into productions with the goal of lowering expenses.
在 2023 年好莱坞罢工之后，工会努力争取建立保障措施，防止未经批准的演员数字肖像出现在电影和电视中。与此同时，各大制片厂一直在评估如何将 AI 融入制作以降低成本。
The friction has led to AI being seen as unfavorable and has created a stigma around it. Rogue’s cofounders know this but don’t want to shy away from the tech’s creative potential.
这种摩擦导致 AI 被视为不受欢迎，并围绕它产生了一种污名。Rogue 的创始人们深知这一点，但他们不想回避这项技术所蕴含的创造潜力。
The reality is that AI is no longer a distant possibility for Hollywood. Computers are already working behind the scenes to animate preproduction storyboards and create a more efficient editing process, such as polishing VFX effects and audio. Netflix recently revealed that 300 of its shows use generative AI. The integration is happening at a scale bigger than many viewers realize, Matt Belloni, a founding partner at Puck who covers the business of Hollywood, told WIRED earlier this month.
现实情况是，AI 对好莱坞而言已不再是遥远的可能。计算机已经在幕后工作，用于制作前期故事板动画，并创造更高效的剪辑流程，例如润色视觉特效（VFX）和音频。Netflix 最近透露，其 300 部剧集使用了生成式 AI。报道好莱坞商业动态的 Puck 创始合伙人马特·贝洛尼（Matt Belloni）本月初告诉《连线》，这种整合的规模比许多观众意识到的要大得多。
Since 2000, sex scenes in movies have declined by 40 percent, according to a 2023 study conducted by The Economist. But recent releases suggest that the industry may be turning a corner. “Movies are getting horny again,” one film critic who specializes in erotic thrillers told the BBC. According to a recent survey from entertainment research firm Luminate, despite an overall backlash against AI in Hollywood, one-third of consumers now feel indifferent toward the use of AI in production across all areas, except when it comes to writing and acting.
根据《经济学人》2023 年的一项研究，自 2000 年以来，电影中的性爱场景减少了 40%。但最近上映的影片表明，该行业可能正在迎来转机。一位专门研究情色惊悚片的影评人告诉英国广播公司（BBC）：“电影又开始变得‘色情’起来了。”根据娱乐研究公司 Luminate 最近的一项调查，尽管好莱坞对 AI 存在普遍抵制，但三分之一的消费者现在对在制作的所有领域（除了编剧和表演之外）使用 AI 感到无所谓。
Rogue is making a bet that the continued adoption of AI tools—particularly ones focused on delivering premium visuals—could potentially supercharge that experience for viewers to the point where the quality of a performer’s delivery isn’t determined by whether it is AI or not, the cofounder says.
Rogue 的联合创始人表示，他们押注 AI 工具的持续采用——特别是那些专注于提供优质视觉效果的工具——可能会极大地提升观众的体验，以至于表演者的表现质量不再取决于它是否由 AI 生成。
“We’re so used to uncensored meaning you get a fraction of the quality. Right now too much of the art form is being lost.”
“我们太习惯于‘无审查’意味着质量大打折扣。现在，这种艺术形式丢失得太多了。”
