It kinda feels like asking how AI will impact TV and movies. We already live in a post-scarcity digital landscape, there has been a surplus of porn for just about as long as the internet has existed. The increased availability of porn probably won't addict people any more than they already were.

> or is it possible that AI can infact lead to novel ways to reduce harmful porn addiction?

This site asks the strangest questions sometimes.

AI is just AI. Sure it's "possible" that you could build an AI net-nanny for yourself, but that has been possible sans-AI since forever. The question is the same as it's even been, it's exclusively a matter of human willpower.

TV and movies are already suffering from over supply too. Scrolling through Netflix feels like the toothpaste aisle - https://metropolismag.com/programs/the-toothpaste-aisle/

Hopefully someone comes up with radical UI changes, that throws infinite scroll in the dustbin.
