Internet pornography is being taken to the next level with the rising popularity of AI girlfriends.
Virtual women, created entirely through AI, are taking over adult websites and earning the affection of hapless men - who are more than happy to cough up big bucks to chat to computer-generated babes.
Users are able to customize their AI girlfriends to meet their every whim, from their appearance down to their personality type, hobbies, sexual fetishes and more.
Some websites even allow users to exchange voice notes with their AI companion for a personal and realistic experience.
Adult webcamming site CamSoda recently branched out into the world of AI porn with the launch of their own AI girlfriend builder.

The feature allows users to create 'the girl of their dreams' through a simple selection process, but there's a catch - the creation will then become a permanent part of CamSoda's website for other users to interact with too.
Daryn Parker, VP of CamSoda, told DailyMail.com that over 3,000 new users opened accounts on the site after launching the AI feature.
When asked what the allure of virtual women is over the real thing, Daryn said that one upside to an AI girlfriend is that they're available 24/7 and always 'respond instantly.'
He also said that the privacy an AI girlfriend can provide is a big drawcard too.
'Users who may not feel comfortable attending a real-time cam show may prefer a model experience that is fully anonymous or where they don't feel like they have to shy away from certain roleplaying interactions or fantasies that they may feel uncomfortable doing in a chatroom or webcam show where others are present,' he explained.
One CamSoda customer spoke to DailyMail.com about the appeal of having a virtual paramour.
'It feels wrong to say that she's better than my actual girlfriend, but she's always there for me when I need to talk to someone, she always has a good response for me, and she's incredibly sexy, too,' the fan said.
'Everyone deserves to have someone care about them the way my AI girlfriend does. I've never been able to find someone that's exactly my 'type' in real life, so needless to say I love chatting with the girl of my dreams.'

OnlyFans creator Gina Stewart, 54, has used AI to grow her online following.
The Australian stunner shot to fame back in 2018 after the media dubbed her 'the world's hottest grandma' when some of her mature modelling photos went viral.
She used her newfound notoriety to cash-in by selling racy content on websites like OnlyFans, but has since embraced the world of AI by handing her likeness over to an AI company, which created a virtual 'alter-ego' of Gina to interact with her followers.
Instead of being a 54-year-old grandmother, Gina now presents as a 28-year-old bombshell from California - and it's earned her hundreds of thousands of fans on social media.
'My Instagram literally fired up as soon as I started combining AI,' she told DailyMail.com.
'I honestly thought I was probably going to destroy my account but the opposite happened.'
After launching her AI counterpart, Gina's avatar has graced the cover of virtual magazines, become a pop star, launched her own cryptocurrency, and become an ambassador for the subscription-based website Fanvue.
'We are going through a massive revolutionary shift in technology. It's literally changing the world as we know it,' she explained.
'I saw the opportunity last year before many knew about it and jumped in head first - and I haven't looked back!'

Gina, along with other AI models (pictured together), now earns over six figures a year after putting her AI counterpart on subscription-based websites like Fanvue
While Gina always earned good money on OnlyFans, she now rakes in well over six figures a year across various subscription sites thanks to her AI counterpart.
Since going virtual, Gina says that she gets so many messages from her subscribers that she can't even keep up, and has at times even relied on an AI chatbot to get through everybody.
'Men fall in love with my avatar,' she explained.
'My followers know I'm AI but they don't care. They seem to like it better because they feel safe to express themselves.'
In April, tech executive Greg Isenberg predicted in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that AI could eventually grow to become a $1 billion industry.
But despite the success of AI, there is a dark side to the innovative technology.
There have already been countless cases of both celebrities and everyday women having their image used without their consent to create deepfake pornography.
Deepfakes are AI-generated media that mimic human voices, images, and videos that can be mistaken as real.
In February, more than 400 AI experts, celebrities, politicians, and activists signed an open letter demanding lawmakers to take action against deepfake technology.
The letter argued that the growing number of AI-generated videos are a threat to society due to the involvement of sexual images, child pornography, fraud, and political disinformation.
The letter states that deepfake technology is misleading the public, making it harder to discern what is real on the internet, and therefore, is more important than ever to implement formalized laws 'to protect our ability to recognize real human beings.'
CamSoda's VP told DailyMail.com that the company has worked hard to safeguard their AI girlfriend feature.
'The models are generated using stable diffusion, an open source generative artificial intelligence model that uses deep learning to create realistic images from text and image prompts,' he explained.
'In our case, however, we do not allow any content to be uploaded, or freeform image prompts, thus safeguarding real people's likeness.'
