Samual James warns here about the arrival of AI porn.

“Altman’s comments about mental health ring hollow. Pornography is not safe for those without mental health issues. It is a cause of them. The November 2025 issue of Harper’s contains a report that is both impossible to recommend and impossible to forget. Daniel Kolitz profiles the “gooners,” a movement of proudly porn-addicted young men who structure their lives, their homes, and their relationships around [self-pleasure].

The era of AI pornography is upon us, and many are not ready for it . . . OpenAI’s new pro-porn policy is, sadly, a harbinger of things to come . . . the promise to “protect kids” is just as thin and facetious now as it has been for the last twenty years. Families need to take decisive steps now to push technology into open areas of the household and strictly limit what kids can access.”
