This seems to be part of a side plot in Blade Runner 2049.
The movie was about replicants of course, but in the background, the technology shown with the AI being a companion, it was a huge corporate hit, a big seller. In the background you see ad's for it, and they reference it as their most popular product. And, as you allude to, in the movie it was both for loneliness AND sexual. They interacted like a relationship with talking and hooking up.
I don't doubt that with current AI, something similar could be done. We're just missing the holograms.
And as you say, I'm sure the porn industry will catch on.
Kind of crazy how Porn isn't leading this tech wave like past ones. Maybe because people are scared of tracking?
What I liked about this in Blade Runner, was that if replicants are "people" (more the topic of the first movie), then it's not much of a stretch to consider software-AI as people, too. It would have been great if this question had been further explored in the 2md movie instead of just accepted.
