VHS was chosen over Betamax because of porn.

Bluray was chosen over HD-DVD because of porn.

Streaming video got figured out because of porn.

Porn drives technology forward.

Hmm... could a substantial percentage of the population develop a fetish for curing cancer during our lifetime? That would be awesome.

Can't track it down now but I remember reading that the adoption of the printing press happened so quickly because demand for a certain collection of erotic stories was super high and it made printing ridiculously profitable. Porn again.

That's a very naive view on the capability of AI. AI is very good at recognizing and recreating patterns. It can help to detect cancer but cure it not so much

Don't we also use AI to fold proteins and make new medicines such as antibiotics? If not, then we should probably see if we could.

True. I have heard of AI protein folding and that's used as a tool for understanding metabolism and making new medicine. Antibiotics not such much I think but I would happily stand corrected.

My point is, it's not the one solution that fixes everything but a tool that's already applied where it can be. I'm not even sure that's a point at all since OP's post is obviously a hyperbole and more about "we use this very potent technology for porn". Don't take my first comment as a disagreement but rather as a FYI or whatever.

If it's good enough for porn, it's good enough for curing diseases 👍... but first 🍆 😁.

Image AI is being used to generate tons of porn.

Human horniness can be a great driver for innovation, really.

Creating new porn images by teaching an AI/learning model what existing ones look like, or swapping faces on video as an example.
