> Going the angel investor route, 3 different times I formed an investor pool only to have at some point them realize what the technology could do with pornography, and then the investors insist the company pursue porn. I'm not sure there's a huge market for people wanting to insert their friends and family into porn, but if there was why not just try it? Seems like it'd have demonstrated the tech worked commercially which could have attracted investment in non-pron uses and it could have ended up just one more technology in a long list of tech made successful as a result of porn.

Such a service would be a lawsuit engine, the social pushback from the female population towards the creators of such a service would significant, and then the public impression of the technology would be "tainted with porn" if ever attempted with brand advertising. Meanwhile, simply the process of inserting consumers in the trailer of any Marvel superhero film and charging $1 for you own copy would make tens of millions. Repeat with any highly desirable fantasy franchise. That is the most obvious application. Actor replacement with ordinary people has a huge number of positive to society applications. Porn is not one of them.
