    Kind of weird that Nvidia is in there to boost the plus side. That’s like including a road construction company in a car sales chart

      Yeah if you hit the ‘hide infrastructure’ button itll remove all the ‘value’ that comes from that.

      Since most of this is cyclical like it says in the disclaimer these numbers are most like too high as well because some of the profits between each other are going right back into each other.

    According to Ed Zitron’s latest reporting, OpenAI’s actual numbers over the last two years are much worse than what previously public data suggested. Curious when we’ll see that reflected here, and when real figures will come out for other providers who are also almost certainly fudging the numbers

    Well, as far as I can tell, some are using their local AI models in powerful computers to make pretty good money right now, but the competition is growing. True, there are few of them, and most of them receive almost no benefit.

    As for enterprise AI, some of them also bring a stable and good income, but are used for specific tasks.

    But I don’t know how things will go further.

        NSFW genre:
        1. https://www.patreon.com/cw/Balecxi

        At NSFW, AI works perfectly, people are willing to pay for it. Balecxi has 2 thousand+ paid subscribers, multiply the subscription that is there, and this is 6 dollars by these 2 thousand and what do we get, 12+ thousand dollars per month? But this man was in time for the gold rush, others are less fortunate.

        1. Here is another successful option: https://www.patreon.com/cw/MadamWeaver

        one thousand are paid for a subscription of 10 dollars, there is another one for 200 dollars, it is also bought, and here the author also has 10+ thousand dollars per month.

        As for others, some people in the genre have raised their Patreon to $2k , not including commissions. But usually the income of most who managed to find consumers is from 200 to 1000 dollars per month, rarely reaches 2000+. Here is a link as an example: https://www.patreon.com/cw/ZeHeu, The author has an income of about $ 350 per month to perhaps $ 500, I am not sure exactly.

        these content creators, I suspect, have their own local AIs that they use if they have a good or powerful computer.

        In genres other than NSFW, it’s harder to make money from AI, so I couldn’t find any normal evidence, I just wasted my nerves, the authors are very cleverly using AI to make money, as people complain. But I suspect that someone manages to make 1000-5000 thousand dollars a month, most often on patreon. AI-generated content is almost no different from human content in 2026 especially if a person is good at working with AI, for example, some writers admit that they use AI to speed up their work, although I suspect that all they do is slightly adjust what AI gives them, for example, by 3-6 percent, they are no longer writers, but editors, like prompt engineers, and make $200-1000 a month by making extremely high-quality content.

        Look at my answer to another person and you will see for yourself. The answer was to a user with the nickname spartanatreyu.
