There will be a huge and unkillable market for non-AI generated pornography, even if people cannot tell the difference in an AB test. The demand will be too strong and I don't think there will be much outcry to ban it if it's all consenting adults.
If people can't tell the difference in an AB test, how will the real porn out compete the generated stuff? Porn distributors aren't known for their truth in advertising or care in sourcing of material. And even if they were, how would the porn distributors be able to source the real stuff, when anyone can create porn of anyone they imagine? You might say PKA will save us, but people aren't going to be typing out `gpg --verify` when their hands are otherwise occupied.

Curious as to how you arrived at that conclusion.
A quick Google shows an estimate that it was a 100 billion dollar market in 2017. Seems there is a lot of demand.
But what portion of that demand is specifically for artisinally handcrafted authentic sex rather than for apparent sex acts?
Oh sorry, the OP was worded differently when I saw it. That's not what I meant.
One day these image generators will also get video support... and pornography support. When that happens, a few things may occur that I think are reasonable to predict:
EDIT: Original post was way too wordy, TL;DR:
When AI-generated pornography becomes available, it could be likely that demand for "real" pornography disappears because the AI will match and surpass the "real." When that occurs, the "real" will become increasingly regulated and legally risky, and may just outright be as good as banned.
