Porn man, they're going to use it for porn, alot of porn, like, a gigantic shitload of porn, things you can't even imagine. Things have been spiraling around the drain for years now, remove the 'people' aspect of it, and you now have something where a large number of people's objections to it are completely removed. The studios stand to make more money, because there's no actors/crews/locations/etc to pay, and they don't have to deal with any of the management associated with those things as well.

Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of research to suggest that porn consumption is absolutely terrible for your mental health, but without the "that poor woman" ex-pornstar to sit on daytime TV and talk about the horrors they experienced, it's not likely to go much further in terms of regulation, which is going to make sure this sort of tech gets adopted there first.

It'll absolutely get rolled out into hollywood eventually, it's just that there's so much infrastructure in place to already do everything this does, I can't imagine much will change all that quickly.
