I liken this to the autotune songs. I cannot stand autotune. But since about 2005 or so, I can not think of a single song on the radio that doesn't use it.
And for the past two or three years, it seems like autotune isn't even used to emulate a human voice anymore. It's not like Cher augumenting some parts of her singing, rather, the whole song (all of them, almost, at least the garbage that I hear in my children's friends' circles) just sounds completely faked. But these kids grow up on it, and for them real human voices singing sounds unusual.

Do you mean that literally, speaking about FM or maybe even DAB, and if so: may I ask what region you're from that you have no access to radio stations featuring something else than only such songs?

I don't listen to the radio at all, but whenever it is on I can hear the autotune - almost without exception whether the music is in English or Hebrew. I do think that most Arabic songs don't use autotune, though. I'm in Israel.

If people can find cartoon or 3D modeled porn sexy (and they do), they will find AI porn sexy. Maybe not everyone, but enough people will. So yeah I agree with you.
Humans, you know, are also "trained" as they grow up. And the new generations, growing up much more exposed to the AI-generated media from the earliest ages, may as well end up finding AI porn just as — if not more — sexy as human-produced porn. That too is a speculation, yes, but considering the whole history of humanity full of vast shifts in cultural and aesthetic norms, it's a very mild speculation.
While I hesitate to use it in this context, reminds of one of Planck's principle - "progress, on funeral at a time"
Ah, nice to see some humility in attempts to predict the futu—

Nevermind then.
