In a way, AI in itself is porn. It's just words and ideas predicated on models. Put another way, AI is a tautology. Models are, at their best, only a model of reality. If humans want to just stop thinking, or have their thinking done for them, they can rely on porn, or AI. AI should be seen as a tool, very usefuI, but just one tool in the toolbox.

And to be clear... AI, like porn, is a fantasy, a fantasy of a mind. But unlike a mind, or at least a functioning mind, AI produces certainty in its words. It does not hem and haw. It does not self-question.
