Mature AI Content: New Revenue Streams
The news articles provide partial but meaningful support for the prediction. The WIRED article about men profiting from teaching AI porn creation suggests a market has emerged around adult AI content, aligning with the predicted 'gold rush' for developers. Meanwhile, articles about Pornhub being blocked in 24 states and Roblox implementing facial scanning for its 144M users reflect the predicted surge in age-gating and content moderation pressure. Together, these signals confirm both the monetization trend and the regulatory/verification response, though direct evidence of OpenAI-specific revenue streams or widespread platform normalization is absent.
OpenAI reverses or significantly restricts this policy within six months, or if no meaningful market of adult-oriented AI applications or revenue emerges following the policy change.
