Article seems a bit incoherent to me. It's talking about AI avatar chatbots of real pornstars, which does seem to have been a fad, but appears to draw the conclusion that its failure is because porn fans want the real thing. I think it's more the case that people don't want to talk to an AI pornstar clone when they can create their own AI GF or choose from thousands of fictional characters.
This part seems garbage to me:
Quote:
In more recent years, when people started experimenting with virtual reality, AI porn was one of the few use cases that drew significant interest. It’s no surprise that the industry began adopting AI relatively early.
The concept of AI porn picked up speed during the early years of the pandemic, says Brian Gross, a publicist who’s been working in the adult industry since 1999. “It got really loud, really fast,” he says. Talent he worked with began forwarding him emails from AI companies, seeking Gross’s input. “There was an aspect of, ‘When you're serious, call me,’” he says of those companies. “When your platform can become a revenue stream as big as the platforms where talent are already making money, then we can talk.”

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that nobody really saw AI porn coming until the leaps forward in generative-AI in 2022 (you can confirm that by the fact that most premium AI porn domains were still unregistered in 2021). It certainly wasn't one of the "few use cases of VR porn".
