I never thought we'd hit a point in my lifetime where artificially generated porn would be compelling, but I'm utterly impressed by the quality of SFM adult content.

And I'm thinking if porn sites can combine the various forms of generative AI (including the voice acting) to allow viewers to create their own fantasies... look out.

If people lament the popularity of these fantasies I would say there's a segment of people not lucky enough to find a partner and are absolutely disillusioned about the prospects of finding someone. I know some men for example who occasionally end up using escorts after having no luck finding someone for long periods of time. And so yeah, is it really unexpected that people address these needs elsewhere even if it's not ideal?

Porn is different to having a partner though. Being with someone is more than just sex.

To your point, I could imagine a world in which some people have long-term "committed" relationships with GPT-powered AIs in the near future though. An AI like the one in Her seems very much possible today if you did some custom fine tuning of GPT-4 and added a NLP layer to convert speech-to-text and vice-versa.
