AI might change the porn industry forever

AI is not something completely new. It’s been around for decades even if we didn’t realize it, but the AI hype has been among us only for the last 2 years. Started by the most popular chatbot ChatGPT, ever since then our days have been filled with all the talk of AI.

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence and while to this day it is not truly intelligent in the sense of having consciousness, reasoning, and so on, it has changed the landscape of human life and that change is not slowing down, it is accelerating.

There are many industries that are affected by AI and surprisingly it is also the porn industry. The porn industry, with billions of dollars of capitalization each year, will certainly use all means to not be left behind by technological developments. This includes adapting AI-generated characters. Take the “girls” featured in these AI porn galleries. They look very real but they don’t really exist. They are just artificial characters but who cares? As long as they can stimulate the audience then they might be little different from human porn actresses.

We can take Hanna as an example. That’s a 26-year-old blonde Norwegian flight attendant. She is very beautiful and always cares for her passengers. What you imagine an ideal, sexy, and seemingly willing to serve anything flight attendant to be then Hanna is perfect. And just so you know, she is an AI-generated flight attendant character. In other words, she doesn’t really exist.

Hanna is not the only AI porn character. There are at least hundreds of others and more are coming. Maybe by the end of this year there will be thousands of them. There are more and more online porn platforms that accommodate AI technology even though human actresses can never be replaced.

Why is the impact of AI so serious?

Because AI tools are proven to generate text, images, and videos that tend to get better over time. The latest generation of AI tools are proving to be better than the same AI tools a year ago and that illustrates the progress of AI development in the future. The development of AI technology cannot be compared to the technological development of other digital segments. It is faster and since more companies are involved in machine learning then we can expect things to be faster.

How the market reacts to AI penetration into the porn industry

As mentioned above, AI will never completely replace humans but it will definitely reduce the presence of humans (human porn actors and actresses). AI characters can be created, modified, and duplicated very quickly and of course the speed of creation, personalization, and how they improve in quality to the point where they are indistinguishable from real humans is what makes AI not to be underestimated by anyone involved in the industry.

The market is basically shaped by humans and they will follow what they really like. If the majority of porn lovers don’t like AI characters then the penetration of AI will slow down, and vice versa, if they tend to like the perfection of the artificial characters then the most plausible scenario is that AI will probably dominate porn content although again it will never replace content featuring real humans.

Some forms of AI in the porn industry

Sex chatbots: While the SEO world has chatbots like ChatGPT, Meta AI, and so on, the porn world has sex chatbots. Sex chatbots basically work like regular chatbots but with a focus on sexual conversations. They are designed and created to interpret text commands in pornographic nuances and respond as naturally as possible. Increasingly, the output of these chatbots looks more and more like they were generated by real humans and today you might be hard pressed to tell the difference between communicating with a sex chatbot and communicating with a real woman if you’re not told which one is the “artificial woman.”

AI characters: Hanna and hundreds of other AI characters are actually products of AI tools and they are made to look very much like real humans. You may still be able to tell the difference between real humans and AI characters today but in a few months or years it is likely that they will be almost impossible to tell apart from real humans in terms of appearance, color texture, and voice. 

Search feature: This is one that many people may not realize because most people always refer to chatbots and AI women when they talk about the impact of AI on the porn industry. In fact, AI has also changed the way porn platforms show you content. Personalized search makes browsing easier and you know that on most porn platforms you’ll find it easier to find content that you like. The AI algorithms embedded in these platforms allow detection of user preferences, which is why if you like Japanese/Asian themes then more Japanese-themed porn content will automatically be shown to you.

Conclusion:

AI cannot replace real humans in the porn industry but its presence cannot be underestimated. All of its characteristics have led to an increasingly widespread presence of AI to the point where the global porn industry cannot do away with AI completely. In the future, porn actors and actresses will “collaborate” with AI to create higher quality and more personalized content.
