I predict that the porn industry will be the first industry to suffer mass unemployment due to AI.

Phase I: Deep learning combined with realistic physics simulation will eventually replace human actors. At some point amateurs can record their movements, then use variational autoencoders to improve their features (bigger boobs, thinner waist, smooth skin) and replace professionals. This is 'Uber phase' for porn and drives down the wages.

Phase II: Eventually AI can mimic complete scenes and adjust the 'plot' to the current state of the observer. Tight sexual biofeedback loop will form.

Phase III: The rapture of the nerds. Fully interactive VR + toolset. In the context of the Fermi paradox, Phase III is the Great Filter.

Porn has always been the earliest adopters of technology. While porn actors may be individually replaced by deep agents, actual porn sales will do fine, especially since extremely targeted pornography will be in everyone's budget.

A market for verifiable human pornography will exist alongside the new porn.

Also, have we already dubbed virtual ML pornography "deep throat"?

No, that term is already established in the industry and means something else entirely.

I thought it was deep fakes?

This is why the ML pornography excites me. All my twisted fetishes that nobody caters to can finally be fulfilled.

What? Think about it, call center employees are going to suffer first on a large scale. NLP is getting better and Google Duplex already showed us that human voice is no problem anymore.

It's way easier to remove call centers than coming up with physics simulations that replace humans. Also I think porn is incredibly cheap to produce so everything must be automated to beat the current production cost.

I am going to call this the Great Stimulus.
