It's all so incredibly bad, though. Like a cross between shitty anime and shovelware book covers made from shopped-together stock photos. Shiny and cartoony and pointless.
Beyond which, it's about as engaging as talking to a spambot.
There's a reason things like celebrity and onlyfans-stars porn are popular: named boobs > random boobs. And generated boobs are so far below the threshold they don't even count; they may as well be on a blow-up doll.
When people look at porn, they aren't looking at body parts or sexual acts. They're looking at someone, who is displaying body parts or sexual acts.
That's why camgirls remain so popular despite the shitty quality, and the availability of 4k 60hz professionally-lit stuff filmed by professionals. It's the fact of having a person on the other end, with all the psychosocial connotations attached, that gives it value to a very large extent.
Even pre-recorded, it's still a performance, there's still the someone-did-this aspect of it.
You're going to have to wait for AI sentience to recapture that.
Until then, it'll remain niche, like furry stuff.
