AI vs. Photo Editing
If you’ve followed me for a while, you already know I’m no stranger to tweaking my photos. I’ll clean up lighting, smooth out the odd crease, sharpen details, and do the usual post-production touch-ups that bring out the best in an image. Sometimes I’ll even rope in my photographer friend to capture me in the perfect light. For me personally, it’s about enhancing what’s already there, not creating something that never existed. With that said, I have zero problem with others man, woman, Domme or sub if they do it differently. Frankly, its none of my damn business.
And let’s be honest, these days it’s rare for anyone to point, shoot, and upload without running their photo through some kind of editing program. We live in a world where filters, presets, and touch-ups are the norm. My edits are never to the point where I’m unrecognisable. If you jump on a video chat with me or watch one of my clips, you’ll see the same person you saw in my photos, just with the natural differences of real-life movement and less controlled lighting.
I only recently dipped my toes into actual AI image generation when I created the Dr AJ advertisement video and stills for my website. It was a fun experiment, and project especially because the whole concept was so roleplay-driven. The aesthetic was theatrical, over the top, and leaned into a fantasy you couldn’t quite capture with traditional photography. At the end of the day though, in order to create this AI AJ version of myself, I still had to upload photos of ME!
That said, I found AI a bit cold. It didn’t have the warmth, texture, and nuance of a real shoot. AI can create incredible visuals, but there’s an undeniable difference between a captured moment and a generated one.
AI in Findom & Femdom Spaces
When it comes to online findom and femdom play, my personal stance on AI is simple: it’s not my business to tell others how to integrate it into their kink. I neither champion it nor condemn it. Some love the fantasy worlds AI can create, with exaggerated characters, impossible scenarios, and surreal scenes. Others crave the authenticity of knowing the person they’re engaging with is completely real.
The beauty of kink is that it’s not one-size-fits-all. There’s room for every flavour, every method, and every fantasy.
The Ridiculous Hate Around Editing & AI
What’s become increasingly absurd is the amount of bullying I and other Dommes face simply for editing our photos or for using AI at all. Why is it even anyone’s concern? Is your life really that dull? It’s the internet, so of course the little trolls come out from behind their keyboards. Personally, I can handle it. Just like with telemarketers, I’m happy to waste their time so they leave someone more vulnerable alone.
Because here’s the serious side of it: not everyone can handle that level of harassment. Online hate has driven people to take their own lives. While I might be older, wiser, and far less shaken by strangers’ opinions, I’m painfully aware that others aren’t in the same position.
Does it annoy me some days? Sure. But what annoys me more is that so many people still can’t tell the difference between AI and traditional editing, and I just can’t resist proving my point.
Yes, I Look a Bit Different in Real Life
Do I look a little different bare-faced and unposed compared to my final edited photos? Of course I do. I’m human. Just like every celebrity or public figure, how we look in a moving 3D form will always differ slightly from a polished 2D image with perfect lighting and skin smoothing. That’s reality, and I’m perfectly fine with it.
And I am only human. Some days I’m in a shit mood, especially around my period, and like the video responses I’ve attached to the bottom of this blog, I can bite back because I’m simply just fucking over the AI claims. It’s bad enough sifting through timewasters, unsolicited dick pics, hate from jealous “Dommes,” and then these “you’re not real” comments when I am bloody real. Anyway… this is the last time I’ll address it. Because I am here to get kinky and play, not harp on about technology specifics and morality. I am here to have fun, and you should be too!
At the end of the day, whether my content has been lightly tweaked, or if I decide someday I want to create fully AI-generated content and go faceless, or capture plain ol raw photos and videos it is entirely my choice. If you don't like it, theres someone else out there for you who is more your taste. I'm not here to be liked by everyone, I simply dont care for that.
The subs who serve me do so because of the energy, dominance, and authenticity I bring, not because of how many pixels I smoothed. And that’s the point: in this space, connection and chemistry will always outshine the tools used to create the image. The rest is background noise. And if you are someone who hides behind a screen to send hate toward another person for how they choose to put themselves out there online, whether that’s real, enhanced, or completely computer generated, it says far more about you than it ever will about them. You come across as an educated yet small-minded idiot, convinced your opinion is some grand revelation when in reality it’s nothing more than static. Your bitterness exposes no one but yourself, and it speaks volumes about the emptiness you carry. So think about that… who is really winning here? The person having fun, creating content they love, making bank, and living a life of pleasure entirely on their own terms, or the nasty little gremlin you are, so bored and dissatisfied with your own life that you waste your energy spewing hate into someone else’s? Seriously, think about it.
At the end of the day, your hate is free and worthless, whereas my life, my existence, is paid for in full. No wonder some of you get so mad. So here is a suggestion: maybe ask me for mentoring instead.
