I certainly understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure I can agree that there will be a parting of ways. What I *think* will happen, or is happening now, is that the non-specific search will default to non-porn results and porn surfers will have to make it fairly obvious that porn is what they want with their search phrase. But then again, Google already has the Safe Search option for those who do not want adult material. And I think it defaults to the Safe option and you have to choose (and get cookied for) the non Safe option. So why bother filtering beyond that? I don't know.
I'd be inclined to think that the effectiveness of Safe Search would depend on the user being aware that an ambiguity existed. Muslim surfers with an interest in The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) might well be mortified to discover that their search uncovered sites depicting attractive older women who like to fuck younger men.

Google does need to get it right. And the harder they try, the harder it seems to get.
