Will traditional adult films soon be obsolete?

I've heard a few predictions that traditional porn will soon be obsolete, since the development of highly realistic computer generated actors will make human pornstars unnecessary. In other words, the pornstar of the future will look human but she won't be human. I've recently seen a picture of a computer generated (naked) girl and you couldn't tell it wasn't a real person. Plus as interactive porn develops a real person won't fit the bill anyway. You'll need a computer generated actor to respond to your requests as a real person can't do that. Sex work will still exist in the future but largely it will be about meeting people for real life sex rather than appearing in adult films.

The future can be hard to predict. A few years ago it was being predicted that VR would make traditional 2D porn redundant, but it just hasn't happened or even come close (not yet anyway). Still I agree that computer generated images can be very impressive. Here's a completely fake woman for example.



As for interactive porn, I've no doubt it will happen because interactive entertainment in general will be with us eventually. I fully expect an experience that is basically the same as a Star Trek holodeck, and in that case human pornstars will be very limited when compared to computer generated ones.

A potential combination of A.I., V.R., and 3-D-printed 'sex dolls', might appeal to more people..

Onscreen and off, I prefer actual flesh, including contact with another's, or just my own!

If using 'rotoscope', motion capture, or associated technologies, I could appear to be performing in a scene, directed by me, that would interest me more...

Bearing in mind, that I've previously mentioned the series, and associated book, Pornography: The Secret History of Civilisation, porn might well lead the way, in suggesting practical, everyday uses for such developments.

I don't think traditional porn films will soon be obsolete. I believe that the idea of a real actor is going to appeal to many over a digital creation. It's really two different markets. For example, there's an adult video game featuring pornstar Tori Black which has been around for a few years already. Of course being a game it's not really her in the video but her virtual likeness. So you can control the scene completely and get her to do whatever you want and of course it does look exactly like her, but I don't see any signs of stuff like this taking over. I can't see it meaning the end for traditional porn.

I agree, I don't think pornstars are going to be redundant anytime soon. I mean look at Mark Zuckerberg and his Metaverse. He's spent billions on the virtual reality future, where you can do all your business in VR meetings over the web, but guess what, most people still prefer face to face meetings.

Im going to put my cock in a toaster. If I like it, I'm then gonna try a Corby Trouser Press.

Badoink Studios has just announced that it's starting to shoot porn scenes that use a 100% CGI environment and has just completed its first such production. The pornstar was still real though, adult industry veteran Alex Coal, rather than a CGI creation.

I see that someone won a photography competition but admitted his entry was a computer graphic and not a photograph at all. There also seems to be a lot of talk at the moment about computer generated music and how real it sounds. It makes me wonder who will be the first pornstar who turns out not to be a real person?

I think it's going to become cheaper to produce computer generated porn than to pay women to appear in real scenes.

Isn’t the psychology the point, though? Wondering how far a performer will go? How into it she is? If she’s chosen to go to a new level? So much porn pivots on claims like “Her first anal/gangbang/DP”, and you don’t get that with a programmable AI avatar.
