I've heard about that. I just don't really understand why would anyone waste their resources on it. AI training is too expensive to waste it on that.

    Maybe there's enough people ready to pay for their own personal porn production

    there are more cost-effective ways to produce amateur porn.

    It doesn’t make sense to me either but people pay for onlyfans and whatnot.

    what's funny is that onlyfans was supposed to be an alternative for patreon but it kinda evolved into what it is today by capitalizing on market demand. I remember back in 2018-2019 lots of folks in the culture industry seriously said that onlyfans will be THE functional business model for artists and writers to build and engage with their communities and sustain themselves on creativity alone. Flashforward 2020 - tits and ass!
