Porn is always a safe bet, and I'd give them thumbs up if the crap finally disappears from the public space and we can go back to doing the actually innovative

Porn is always a safe bet, and I'd give them thumbs up if the crap finally disappears from the public space and we can go back to doing the actually innovative stuff.

Definitely. AI sex puppets would kill online porn faster than Betamax killed the XXX movie theater.

  So actually I did not care about online porn. Was referring to actually the whole non-innovation of generative AI finally finding its niche in the very profitable sex-market and disappearing from other domains.

    Ah, yes I understand. But wouldn't it be great if AI and online porn disappeared from the public domain together?

      I am not sure - online porn satisfies a market demand, and it's not like it is absolutely everywhere - you have to deliberately search for it. The so-called AI is omnipresent, but its not clear what actual problem it is solving, unless we count helping the Joe Bullshit in performing his bullshit job.

The problem with porn is post-nut clarity. No one will choose to pay AI companies $x/month if users regret their purchase after releasing their pent-up energy.

I'm inexperienced in the field, but I'm pretty sure in a proper establishment I'd rather go with a real human rather than an AI-powered sex doll, no matter the cost. But what do I know, human sexuality is very diverse.

    in a brothel they actually mate with human beings -- completing the actual act, even if mechanical and compensated. chatbots will never do that. it's like eating an image of bread vs. eating stale bread -- yeah it's not the good, ideal fresh bread, but it's actual bread.
