The Rise of AI Porn: More Than Just Sci-Fi
In this article, AI porn refers to AI tools developed mainly to serve adult-oriented entertainment markets. Think of NSFW AI image generators, AI hentai, denudify and clothesoff AI tools and of course sex chat bots and AI girlfriends. We will not be listing any porn AI tools but will rather take a look at the state of the AI industry from the internet demand perspective. In other words, we’ll asses the offerings and make conclusions about the demand. As we all know, the demand defines the supply.
For the past two years AI Tools Explorer has been closely following the rise of AI. It’s as if before that AI only existed in sci-fi movies. The truth is that our society wasn’t paying that much attention to AI. It’s probably because artificial intelligence wasn’t so advanced and the general public couldn’t actually interact with it. Not until ChatGPT and maybe Alexa. We will not get into the history of AI here but the point is that AI tools are everywhere. And even the adult entertainment industry has benefitted from the advances in AI research. Let’s continue by outlining AI tools in general.
Google Isn’t the Best: Where to Find Reliable AI Tools
So where do you find the best AI tools? Google? Honestly, not the best choice. On the first page of search results the big G will suggest (at least that’s what it did in October 2024) Forbes, Zapier, Google Cloud, ZDNet… and why not CNN and USA Today. Only two of the results are niche focused websites. We’ll most likely get deeper into Forbes’ expertise in another article. And if we don’t, just google Lars Lofgren and read his blog. The point we’re trying to make is perfectly illustrated in that great quote from the book “The Richest Man in Babylon” by George Clason: “If you would know the truth about sheep, go to the herdsman. Advice is one thing that is freely given away, but watch that you take only what is worth having.” Same goes for AI tools. If you want to find out what are the best AI tools for whatever task you are looking for, go to a good AI directory. So let’s dive deeper and see what the top AI directories have to offer.
AI Directories: Separating the Gems from the Junk
There are multiple sources online, listing the hundreds of AI directories, some paid, some free, as a good way to promote your AI tool startup or AI SaaS (AIaaS). Promotion should ultimately serve you to get new customers. Because what is the point if you get thousands of clicks (visitors) but no signups. The truth is that there are not so many directories focused on the AI niche that are worth it. You will see what we mean in the next sections.
AI Porn Study: What We Found
The AITE team, lead by our Editor in Chief Stan V, has carried out an in-depth research study to document the current state (as of October 2024) of the AI tools niche. Our initial idea was to do a research for the top 100 AI directories. However, after the initial phase of our research we’ve concluded that there are only 60 AI directories suitable for such a case study. We simply targeted AI sites with 1k+ monthly visitors, which is still pretty generous. For this study we have used data from Ahrefs.
We hope you find the data useful.
AI Porn & AI Tools Directories
According to data from Ahrefs, the total monthly traffic of the top 60 AI directories in October 2024 will be valued at $960,000 and will reach almost 5 million visitors (4,800,000). A 22.57% dicrease compared to May of the same year where this figure was 6.2 million.
Out of the 60 entries we have studied, 53 (88.33%) feature NSFW AI tools and 7 (11.67%) rely entirely on listing only lnon-adult oriented AI apps. AI porn is the main traffic source for 21 AI directories (35% of all).
Geographic Segmentation
Monthly visitors
The largest portions of AI directory visitors come from India and the US. The data shows an estimated 3.1 million Indian visitors and 1.6 million US visitors which translates to 65.66% and 32.54% of the total volume. The rest of the worlds gets under 100k montly visitors at 1.8%.
Traffic value
Despite the double volume for Indian visitors, there isn’t much difference in the estimated traffic value as indicated by Ahrefs:
- India $482,000
- US $471,000
- Rest $8,000

Final Thoughts: The Influence of AI Porn in the AI Tools Landscape
The data speaks for itself—AI porn tools are not just a niche within AI; they are a major force shaping the online AI tools ecosystem. With 88% of AI directories listing NSFW tools and significant traffic driven by adult content, it’s evident that demand for AI in the adult entertainment space is substantial and growing. The fact that India and the United States are the leading markets for this type of content suggests that cultural openness to new technologies intersects heavily with curiosity about adult applications.
Despite the controversies, one thing is clear: AI porn tools are here to stay, and their influence cannot be ignored. This rise in NSFW content is both a reflection of evolving market demands and an indicator of how AI is increasingly infiltrating every aspect of our lives—including entertainment. The adult industry has often been a driver for technological adoption, and AI is proving to be no exception.
For those who are navigating the AI landscape, this presents both opportunities and ethical challenges. Whether or not these AI porn tools are to be embraced or scrutinized will ultimately depend on societal norms, regulatory landscapes, and individual preferences. As AI continues to evolve, one thing remains constant—demand shapes supply, and the AI industry will keep expanding to meet that demand, for better or worse.
For further exploration of AI tools beyond adult content, AI Tools Explorer will continue to provide in-depth studies, ethical perspectives, and guides on how AI is transforming industries worldwide. Stay tuned, and let’s keep exploring the evolving face of artificial intelligence—one tool at a time.
