This has already become a bit outdated since its creation (not because it's old, but because of how rapidly things are progressing), but a friend of mine made this show that you would probably find interesting... possibly helpful, even? Particularly the episode about AI generated porn. The British Film institute listed it as one of the best internet video essay shows of 2022. http://thesexrobotshow.com/

I felt the same way about ‘feelies’, yeesh. For some reason it makes me think of band names that have baffled me.

I was tidying up the newspapers in the library I work at, and my eyes skimmed a piece of an article in the LA Times' business section that referred to essentially what you're calling soft content as "synthetic media." In the moment I didn't have the foresight to make a note of what the article was on specifically, so I haven't been able to find it again, but it's possibly a term to look out for.
