Also, map images pulled from facebook to the bodies of pornstars. The creepiness and invasion of ... personal image(?) this enables is horrifying.

That's already happened. Search for deep fakes. We already have face substitution in videos which is working surprisingly well sometimes.

There's been r/deepfakes where around 30% of the content was porn with swapped faces. It was banned though.

It was pretty limited though. For split seconds videos seemed real but the seams soon enough showed.

Fake celebrity porn has been on the internet since 1996 at the very least. It's always been crummy; but porn in general requires a thick suspension of disbelief and an intense focus in a partial object of desire (what Lacan calls the objet petit a) that blurs everything else.
