"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

NSFW genre:
At NSFW, AI works perfectly, people are willing to pay for it. Balecxi has 2 thousand+ paid subscribers, multiply the subscription that is there, and this is 6 dollars by these 2 thousand and what do we get, 12+ thousand dollars per month? But this man was in time for the gold rush, others are less fortunate.
one thousand are paid for a subscription of 10 dollars, there is another one for 200 dollars, it is also bought, and here the author also has 10+ thousand dollars per month.
As for others, some people in the genre have raised their Patreon to $2k , not including commissions. But usually the income of most who managed to find consumers is from 200 to 1000 dollars per month, rarely reaches 2000+. Here is a link as an example: https://www.patreon.com/cw/ZeHeu, The author has an income of about $ 350 per month to perhaps $ 500, I am not sure exactly.
these content creators, I suspect, have their own local AIs that they use if they have a good or powerful computer.
In genres other than NSFW, it's harder to make money from AI, so I couldn't find any normal evidence, I just wasted my nerves, the authors are very cleverly using AI to make money, as people complain. But I suspect that someone manages to make 1000-5000 thousand dollars a month, most often on patreon. AI-generated content is almost no different from human content in 2026 especially if a person is good at working with AI, for example, some writers admit that they use AI to speed up their work, although I suspect that all they do is slightly adjust what AI gives them, for example, by 3-6 percent, they are no longer writers, but editors, like prompt engineers, and make $200-1000 a month by making extremely high-quality content.
