Pornography Profile - from movie Ex Machina

Last night I watched the movie Ex Machina, another scientist creates AI robot movie. In this case a female looking robot. She was created to be tested on a human and in order to create empathy the robot's creator used what he the test subject's 'pornography profile' to determine the optimal physical look the robot should have to effect the most physical attraction.

I found it an intriguing idea. Compile someone's porn searches and distill what should be their ideal sexual type. The only trouble I see with such an approach is that searching for your ideal porn is really time consuming and will take you on a lot of false leads. Before I find anything I like I probably end up with dozens of dead end leads.

So, just curious what others think of this idea. Or if anyone has ever heard of anything like this being tried out in real life?

Btw - it's a good movie, intriguing, well acted and with just enough nudity and sexual atmosphere for it be more than just another sci-fi story.

I am not sure if it would work for me. I tend to search subject matter not a particular look in a man or woman. When I search subject matter like enemas, you can get a whole range of people in the videos- kind of like a box of chocolates. Once I get the thumbnail pictures in the search, then I look at which video clips might be interesting and often my choice to play a video isn't totally related to the what the people look like.

I could come up with a particular "look" in terms of what I find sexually attractive but I don't specifically search porn that way.

Those are my thoughts as well. I do have a particular look and type of person that I am attracted to or who feature in favored vids and pix (gratifying enough just the same type of female robot constructed in the movie itself - that was quite a fun surprise). But otherwise?

I would be curious to see what my 'pornographic profile' would look like though ... I'd probably laugh myself silly.

It was a great movie though

It was a good movie but I liked the new Terminator movie better.

Finding 'the ideal sexual profile' via porn search results seems a bit restricted. It would be difficult if a persons erotic interest didn't change, say over the course of one porn session, but erotic feeling and sensation is in flux from moment to moment; porn sites somehow mirroring that desire in a way that would yield some model-erotic of a person seems a bit of a stretch. The person themselves are the compilation of their entire erotic experiences, conscious and subconscious and unconscious, even a long detailed history of porn surfing could only model an instant of changing desire. It would be a generalization of the past, not with any certainty a plan for the future. Just sayin'.

I also really enjoyed this movie and all the concepts it revolved around. And it certainly didn't hurt that the actresses playing both Ava and Kyoko were to me just jaw-droppingly stunning. It was often hard to concentrate on the trail of the story when they were on-screen. I had no trouble later bringing these ladies to mind in recurring late-night fantasies.. HaHa!! If this were ever to become a real-life experiment, I think that "exceptional beauty-factor" would have a definite effect on the human subject - skewing the results negatively. But apparently the builder in the movie had accounted for and counting on that fact. I left the movie wanting more - to see Ava's further experiences.. Maybe there's a sequel coming; The Search for Ava or Ava's Revenge? If her mind really was the coherent accumulation of all Internet search results - the "human" mind (at least mine) just boggles. Hopefully it's been out long enough that none of this was "spoiler" material for anyone. Hoping it appears on Netflix!

Alicia Vikander won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2016, for her role in The Danish Girl. I also really liked her in The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
