They already have The Killer App - ChatGPT

  Time will tell if it's a killer app. In the interim they seem to still be searching for a market.

    > Wow. ChatGPT's 1-month product retention curve (US only data surveyed across 28mn people). From <60% 2yrs ago to 90%. The most irresistible product ever created in the history of tech. https://x.com/rohanpaul_ai/status/1981091579340419524 https://x.com/rohanpaul_ai/status/1981091579340419524

      Not an audience, a market. Customers who actually pay.

  Not looking for them if their killer app is suffering from slowed growth

AI boyfriends/girlfriends are a serious thing (and when GPT-5 was released, people were complaining that this AI is much worse suited for this purpose). If you combine it with realistic human-size puppets, this might get big.

  Porn is always a safe bet, and I'd give them thumbs up if the crap finally disappears from the public space and we can go back to doing the actually innovative stuff.

    Definitely. AI sex puppets would kill online porn faster than Betamax killed the XXX movie theater.

      So actually I did not care about online porn. Was referring to actually the whole non-innovation of generative AI finally finding its niche in the very profitable sex-market and disappearing from other domains.
      - noduerme 1y ago
        Ah, yes I understand. But wouldn't it be great if AI and online porn disappeared from the public domain together?
        hansmayer 1y ago
        I am not sure - online porn satisfies a market demand, and it's not like it is absolutely everywhere - you have to deliberately search for it. The so-called AI is omnipresent, but its not clear what actual problem it is solving, unless we count helping the Joe Bullshit in performing his bullshit job.

    The problem with porn is post-nut clarity. No one will choose to pay AI companies $x/month if users regret their purchase after releasing their pent-up energy.
