It will still be expensive to use but it won't have a lot of limitations. AI driven porn is basically the obvious use-case where there are some big companies with lots of money operating in that space and plenty of incentive to make this happen. Morally that might actually be preferable to exploiting people as is their current way of operating. The likes of OpenAI won't be able to do much to stop that.
