The “stuntronic” robots Disney has been working on are decent at superheroic human-like movements. They use them for eliminating risks to actual human performers in stunt shows. If you jump to the 3-minute mark in the Youtube video, the aerial gymnastics look pretty fluid.

One could make a much stronger case that games are what have advanced digital technology. Games are older than PCs (in that games were a common test of programmable computers long before consumer devices existed). They’ve pushed 2D and 3D technology (including the whole raison d’etre for GPUs), as well as AI, compression etc algorithms and overall system specs.
Porn came much later, although no doubt it has also been a force in, for example, demand for broadband and high-quality streaming.
