AI Wealth Tutorial: Start with NSFW, Then Sell Courses
The article "AI致富教程：先搞色色，再去卖课" (AI Money-Making Guide: Start with Adult Content, Then Sell Courses) explores how AI-generated content (AIGC) is being monetized, particularly through adult entertainment and low-barrier creative work, before ultimately shifting to selling instructional courses.
A16Z’s report highlights a striking trend: in the U.S., user spending on OnlyFans surpassed combined spending on OpenAI and The New York Times. This reflects a broader pattern where “sexual appeal outperforms productivity.” Early adopters used tools like Midjourney and Stable Diffusion to create AI-generated virtual models, offering “girlfriend experiences” on platforms like Fanvue, where AI models now contribute significantly to revenue. Similarly, some turned to AI-generated children’s books, though market saturation and quality issues quickly diminished profitability.
Both paths often lead to selling courses—packaging the “get-rich-quick” illusion to newcomers. However, the real barrier isn’t technical proficiency but aesthetic judgment: the ability to translate vague ideas into precise prompts. Those with design, photography, or writing backgrounds excel because they know what “good” looks like; others struggle even with advanced tools.
The rise of AI also brings ethical and trust issues. Clients often reject AI-assisted work on principle, perceiving it as “unfair” or lacking human effort. Regulations now require AI-generated content labeling, but boundaries remain unclear—especially for hybrid human-AI creations. The core question isn’t just whether AI was used, but whether someone is genuinely accountable for the output.
In summary, while AI lowers entry barriers for content creation, success still hinges on traditional skills like审美 (aesthetic sense), and the real money often moves from creating content to selling the dream of easy success.
