Civitai, ComfyUI Power NSFW AI
A Reddit user asks where explicit AI images and videos come from, and the lone reply points to community fine-tunes of open-source models. The practical path is usually Civitai for model sharing plus ComfyUI for local generation, not mainstream hosted APIs.
// ANALYSIS
The NSFW side of generative AI looks less like a hidden model family and more like an open-source distribution problem: base models, community LoRAs, and self-hosted workflows do the work.
- –The thread’s answer matches the broader ecosystem: open models get fine-tuned, then shared through model hubs rather than official app stores.
- –ComfyUI is the kind of local workflow engine that makes these models usable, which is why it shows up constantly in community guidance.
- –Mainstream vendors keep explicit content behind safety filters, so the real supply chain moves to downloadable weights and local inference.
- –For video, the same pattern holds, but the tooling is newer and the workflow complexity is higher, so the community stack matters even more.
- –The policy implication is simple: moderation pressure on hosted products does not eliminate demand, it just pushes it into self-hosted channels.
