Porn already is huge? In terms of reach, but money compared to other industries is rather small. Video Games for example are 20x-50x bigger then Porn. If anything GenAI means there's gonna be even less money in it. Ok so, but GenAI interactive literotica companies with loyal followings you say? When's the IPO going to be exactly?

When will we get good AI quests and characters in video games? To me, this is one of the most exciting aspects of AI. I can imagine a very cool future where the dialog isn’t written, each character is just given a “this is your motivation” prompt like an actor might get. The replayability factor will be huge.

  Companies are of course experimenting with this. And the mod communities are working on projects too. A Fallout 4 mod is using AI to voice human written options in the same voices as existing characters. And there's a couple Skyrim projects working on dialogue generation. Personally I expect this to be an area where amateurs/hobbyists contribute quite a bit of research.

> Video Games for example are 20x-50x bigger then Porn. I wonder how these two can be compared. Adult entertainment often resides in the dark economy.

  This got me curious. Currently the global market cap for video games is somewhere around $188B. From a cursory Google search, the revenue from alcohol sales worldwide is 10x that of video games. Seems like a crazy gap for adult entertainment!

  It's an estimate. You can come up with different values, but I think no one would really argue porn is that huge of a slice of the pie. Clean money is also a lot more valueable than dark money. Generative porn will be a big thing, but won't magically lead to more money flowing into the industry. If anything, less. What's gonna happen is, synthetic porn will replace real porn over time, that's pretty much it. All things considered, biggest beneficiary gotta be the women currently working in the industry, no doubt.
