Arguably the best possible AI porn related domains is up for sale. Porn.ai was bought several years ago by adult industry veteran Steve Lightspeed and quickly developed it into a popular NSFW AI image generator, adding AI sex chat features soon after. However, it’s not quite established itself as one of the very top AI porn sites, and now with so many rivals to contend with, as well as increasing legislation and legal risks, perhaps Lightspeed has decided it’s a good time to cash in and get out. He will it appears continue to develop and sell the “Wowify” software he developed to power the site, to other NSFW AI sites.
With the decision by OpenAI to back off from “adult mode” indefinitely, a domain such as Porn.ai represents a golden opportunity for anybody seeking to become the “OnlyFans” or “Pornhub” of NSFW AI. That’s pretty much the viewpoint of an expert who talked to Axios recently. Tracey Follows, a futurist who studies the intersection of technology and humans, told Axios that OpenAI’s decision was an indication that big tech was no longer willing to risk the regulatory pressure involved in pursuing cutting edge sex tech. This, she said, will open the way for other, smaller players, willing to take the risk.
“It will open up the market to less corporatized, more entrepreneurial players, and you’ll get the equivalent of an OnlyFans but in the AI space,” Fellows says, adding that she could see a future where specialized companies build out AI companions’ capabilities or create more hyper-realistic sex-tech devices through augmented reality.
The following Google Trends chart shows the relentless march of AI porn, global searches for which now far outstrip VR porn. Whilst the increase in searches for “AI girlfriend” has been slower, it’s still showing steady growth, and we know from various surveys that an increasing number of adults are reporting that they are having a romantic or sexual relationship with an AI.
