Which is an interesting take, because anything sex-related seems to be the only way to make money with AI.
I hope the real reason is that they're running out of money to try new features. But some of their stated reasons, like their AI age verification sucks, aren't so bad either.
...Actually, OpenAI has a suspicious number of reasons why they can't do adult mode. I think they protest too much.
I think it's about video generation. They shut down Sora because it was burning too much money. Imagine how much a massive amount of porn videos would cost.
This here. The dirty not-at-all-a-secret is that NONE of it is profitable. It is all a money-burning, water-wasting, RAM-market-sucking black hole.
There is no road to profitability unless they somehow convince everyone to pay multiple thousands of dollars per year for subscriptions. At least that's what I keep hearing; evidence otherwise with real references, I'm open to consider.

Yep. I bet the reason they never actually closed the deal with Disney is that Disney discovered that shitty Sora CG cost more than their in house systems.
Or because of that recent ruling that you can't copyright AI generated images. If Disney can't copyright the videos Sora produces, then it's useless to them.
I think even the text prompts are unprofitable. Sam Altman said so once, even for paid plans. I wonder if they're still in danger of bleeding themselves dry. One can dream.
That was probably what sunk the Disney deal.
Disney can already make shitty CG animation for basically nothing. What Sora did was offer a way of doing it without any real expertise, but Disney already had that. It was probably impossible for Sora to actually produce lower-tier Disney content for less than Disney is already able to do it for.
And WAR, because government's love to burn tax payers money on useless sh*t
Pop the bubble

Wait so the "original" was targeted at children specifically?
Porn won't save ai
For the simple reason that is is REALLY cheap to make and monetize real porn.
The only people using AI to make porn are people who wouldn't be able to pay for it if they charged what it costs to use.
I don’t think ai as technology needs saving, but the companies of the bursting bubble do. I love to see Altman struggle
Isn't all this "OpenAI drops..." stuff (goonbot, Sora/Disney, etc) all because of Altman's recent statement that they're going to switch to being a one trick pony shop? As in: one product, win or lose.
But if it's lose, I guarantee they'll Ministry of Truth that statement.
I’d think that custom AI-generated smut videos would be all the rage. It’s one area where the content being slop shouldn’t matter as much.
Hey, look, that lady has 3 breasts. Aw, here comes Double Dong Danny to get some of that. Man, this is some fucked up shit. Grabs a box of tissues.
Genuinely curious if you've found a good porn site that isn't already incorporating these. The ones I frequent have them already fairly regularly but they are heavily down voted and have an uncanny valley feel to them that is a real turnoff. Not at all "all the rage"
Not something I’ve actively looked into, quite honestly. Didn’t find the Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum particularly arousing, so I assume it wouldn’t be my jam.
What a childish thing.
God I hate that the younger generations use the word "drop" to mean both "cancel" and "release".
I dont think that is generational. Music dropped for generations and so did plans.
Drop it, drop it all Altman!
Say goodbye to whatever miniscule revenue you were guns get there. The faster these fucking slop bots die the better.
Why is that shitty product being used
Yet another area where the big companies are voluntarily leaving money on the table for the open model users to rake in. I approve.
lol that despite that they need to rely on porn?
dammit... I was hoping for ad infested AI girlfriends running skynet would save us from skynet effectiveness at genocide.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
