Because as with the internet 99% of the usage won’t be for education, work, personal development, what have you. It will be for effing kitten videos and memes.

- nine_k 10mo agoAre the posters of effing kitten videos a customer base with a significant LTV? (The obvious well-paying market would be erotic / furry / porn, but it's too toxic to publicly touch, at least in the US.)
- piskov 10mo agoOpenrouter stats already mention 52% usage is roleplay. As for photo/video very large number of people use it for friends and family (turn photo into creative/funny video, change photo, etc.). Also I would think photoshop-like features are coming more and more in chatgpt and alike. For example, “take my poorly-lit photo and make it look professional and suitable for linkedin profile”
- Tcepsa 10mo agoAlso FWIW I understand that the furry community has a strong culture of commissioning artists for their work, so that's likely to be a headwind against using genAI that isn't explicitly trained only on licensed materials. Sure, there are likely some who would use it regardless, but I expect the use of genAI to generate furry porn to be at least as toxic within that community as the use of genAI to generate furry porn outside of that community.

- password54321 10mo agoIt is a matter who will actually pay for compute. Is it people who care about work or entertainment? Even if developers are 1:1000 of your users, I'm going to guess that ratio shifts a lot when you look at subscribers.
