In an attempt to celebrate the art of pornography, the evolution in sexuality and the classic porn storylines that date back to way earlier than you’d imagine, Pornhub has launched . It’s a timeline of vintage porn videos, brought back to life in colour, using artificial intelligence.
Pornhub, the second most popular porn site on the internet, has released a collection of vintage erotic films that have been colorized using artificial intelligence. Yes, really.
