    It is, but it’s a use case that has a shitload of money behind it.

    Do you know why we have had reliable e-commerce since 1999? Porn websites. That was the use case that pushed credit card acceptance online.

    The demand is so huge that firms would rather stumble a bit at first to save huge amounts for a bad but barely sub-par UX.

      Always bet on the technology that porn buys into (not financial advice, but it damn sure works)

        Oh my God… The best/worst thing about the idea of AI porn is how AI tends to forget anything that isn’t still on the screen. So now I’m imagining the camera zooming in on someone’s jibblies, then zooming out and now it’s someone else’s jibblies, and the background is completely different.

        Are porn sites replacing staff with AI though? Not content since that comes from contributors for the most part, but actual porn site staff.

        No idea honestly.

          AI-based romantic companions, sexting, and phone-sex are going to be huge if they aren’t already. It’s like “Her”, because we live in a Black Mirror episode.
