Multiple Chinese online platforms are openly selling tutorials on how to use AI to generate pornographic videos, as revealed by an investigation from state broadcaster CCTV published on Sunday. For as little as 9.9 yuan ($1.4), users can purchase prompts to feed chatbots and produce semi-nude videos featuring desired hairstyles, body shapes, motions, and facial expressions in minutes without triggering content moderation filters. Tutorials advise users on avoiding legal consequences, such as using foreign AI software or running programs offline. CCTV purchased two sets of prompts and tested them in 10 popular AI apps; while most refused overly explicit prompts, the Chinese app “LibLib AI” generated a video of a topless woman dancing within minutes. Following consumer tip-offs, CCTV also found an online AI photo tool enabling paying users to create adult videos from a single picture of a real person. An industry insider told CCTV that AI chatbot app promoters reward users who recruit others with coins and cashback. In April, China announced new rules for “AI anthropomorphic interactive services,” banning the use of AI to spread pornographic or sexual content.
