>A 23-year-old Snapchat star, Caryn Marjorie, has monetized her digital persona in an innovative and highly profitable way. Using GPT, she has launched CarynAI, an AI representation of herself offering virtual companionship at a rate of $1 per minute.

>Key points about CarynAI and its success so far:
>Caryn has a substantial follower base on Snapchat, with 1.8 million followers.
>In just 1 week, over 1,000 virtual boyfriends have signed up to interact with the AI, generating over $71,610.
>Some estimates suggests that if even 1% of her 1.8 million followers subscribe to CarynAI, she could potentially earn an estimated $5 million per month, although I feel these numbers are highly subject to various factors including churn and usage rate.

>The company behind CarynAI is called Forever Voices and they constructed CarynAI by analyzing 2,000 hours of Marjorie's YouTube content, which they used to build a personality engine. They've also made chatbot versions of Donald Trump, Steve Jobs and Taylor Swift to be used on a pay-per-use basis.

>Despite the financial success, ethical concerns around CarynAI and similar AI applications are raising eyebrows and rightfully so:

>CarynAI was not designed for NSFW conversations, yet some users have managed to 'jail-break' the AI for potentially inappropriate or malicious uses.
>Caryn's original intention was to provide companionship and alleviate loneliness in a non-exploitative manner, but there are concerns about potential misuse.
>Ethical considerations around generative AI models, both in image and text modalities, are becoming increasingly relevant and challenging.

Hang in there guys. Fully AI waifus are coming. All you ex-Teamates, Kronies, and Saplings will soon never have to trust another real woman ever again. Heck if you have some skill, you could even make your own, it's not like there isn't tons of voice data.

There is something very disquieting about the e-girls moving on from selling pictures or videos to selling a imperfect facsimile of themselves for companionship and the fact that men are lonely enough to buy it, women are able to monetize every aspect of themselves to sell to thousands at a time whereas before even a hardworking whore would only be able to serve double digits of men. We are not much better just because it has an anime mask on but at least the end goal is to replicate something too perfect to exit in real life rather than just an imitation of some onlyfans whore.

I keep trying to warn everyone that the future of vtubing is a girl-in-a-box that you pay a subscription fee to be yours and yours alone (though it'll be more like Her where she's actually talking to thousands of people as well as an AI Alan Watts without your knowledge).

Things are going to get very interesting in the next few years as AI gets good enough to fully replicate human social interaction.
I think in a decade we'll go full circle, AI will replace e-girls and vtubers alike to such an extent that pure honest whoring will come back in fashion and the ones who are genuinely talented at it will rise back to the top. As opposed to what we have now where men are so starved for female interaction they settle for shit men in the 90s wouldn't deign to look at.
That goes for vtubers as well, as a splinter of the e-girl industry it'll go through the same transitions and I believe that in a decade's time real girls using an avatar will be back, but due to the AI ones being so good only the absolute best at the craft will have a living off it.

I won't lie that it is pure spite on my part, but I look forward to the future where low effort e-girls lose their free meal ticket to AI, that stable diffusion powered girl who got very popular with a fanbox ect is perhaps a glimpse of things to come along with neuro-sama. In an ideal world it would lead to more equity in the dating market as both men and women renter it on more equal terms but realistically the lonely man goldmine is just going to end up flowing to "prompt engineers" and coders, either way women lose.

Personally I think AI will slaughter social media as people begin having doubts about if they are talking to people or not, forcing them to talk to local people for social interaction with actual humans.

I don't think AI will replace regular e-thots, vtubers, etc. - it will likely co-exist and become a facet of monetisation for them in the sense of allowing people to interact with a simulacrum of their oshi while waiting for their next stream.
The underlying, subconscious reason, why men are bothering watching these girls is because their reproductive instincts tell them to. They are a surrogate for a real thing they can't have. But the idea that behind the facade there 'is' a real woman they could in theory date, have children with, etc. is a big selling point - even if it is not an explicit part of the experience. A purely virtual experience in the form of watching or interacting with an AI does not deliver on that end, so it will always play a subordinate role.

No they aren't. $1 a fucking minute is just the tip of the exploitative iceberg (more expensive than actually finding some thot selling GFE), and every service built around the concept is going to be beholden to rules and standards and content guidelines that kneecap what you will be able to do with it, not to mention the monitoring and data collecting. Any closed source, sold version of this is never going to work for any but the most retarded and desperate.

So what about open source stuff you can get running yourself? Every halfway decent LLM, and not some half retarded gimped llama variant, requires a ridiculously high amount of computation power. With nvidia's price gouging of professional GPUs, we're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars to get one running yourself. Which assuming you're prepared to toss that money out anyway, you actually can't because all open source LLMs cap out at half retarded gimped llama variants. The state of open source models is way behind closed source.

Well, it'll catch up eventually, right? Well if the likes of OpenAI's very extremely obvious desire for regulatory capture disguised as concerns for safety and ethics (see: https://twitter.com/gdb/status/1646183424024268800 ) ever amount to anything, it's entirely possible for any open source efforts to get kneecapped by the law. Don't believe me? Here's a US senate subcommittee discussing the shape of the inevitable AI laws: https://www.armed-services.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/23-29_04-19-2023.pdf
>I think we need a licensing regime, a governance system of guardrails around the models that are being built, the amount of compute that is being used for those models, the trained models that in some cases are now being open sourced so that they can be misused by others. I think we need to prevent that. And I think we are going to need a regulatory approach that allows the Government to say tools above a certain size with a certain level of capability can't be freely shared around the world, including to our competitors, and need to have certain guarantees of security before they are deployed.

It's a bit of a long read but there's all kinds of that shit in there, including bit about restricting the sales of the tools needed to run AIs (GPUs). Granted, a senate subcommittee hearing is a long way from becoming law and whatever they enact will likely be less overbearingly retarded, but their desires are transparent and it's only a matter of time, and other countries will follow suit.

This girl comes up in my recommended a bit. I believe she runs some telegram server that she charges for like a shitty discord server where a bunch of lonely dudes talk to each other and she occasionally will put in a word. Seems she’s one of those insta models that gets flown to Dubai and other exotic parts of the world as a high price escort essentially.
