Just want to learn - who actually needs or buys up generated images?
replies(5):
- Illustrating blog posts, articles, etc.
- A creativity tool for kids (and adults; consider memes).
- Generating ads. (Consider artisan production and specialized venues.)
- Generating assets for games and similar, such as backdrops and textures.
Like any tool, it takes certain skill to use, and the ability to understand the results.
Fixed that for you: (and adults; consider porn).
I don't think you realize the extent of the “underground” nsfw genai community, which has to rely on open-weight models since API models all have prude filters.
