Before I really sink my teeth into this, is anyone actually interested in NiceCrew AI? Basically a service that allows you to generate images or prompt for using large language models for shit? It would be a paid service because this stuff is not cheap to run and upgrade.
Well, at least for me, unless you can make it work very cost effective like by utilizing a high performance, low resource open source model like Deep Seek, it'll probably not be worth it.
If the current, rather limited userbase of NCD can barely muster enough donations reliably to pay for keeping the site running as is, i doubt the disposable income is there to finance a costly AI feature.
Unless you find a way to use it commercially in a way that makes it self sustaining without being reliant on commuinity financing. I mean, there are quite a few creatives here who could profit from a good generative AI, provided its performance is actually decent enough for the job. Which probably won't be easy.
Besides that, i personally prefer to keep AI as far out of my life as possible. That shit isn't gonna end well for humanity if allowed to proliferate much further methinks.

That's why we are starting small, and it won't be free.
@matty @White_Powerade the question people might be asking is: "how much is paid"
Because if it means $1/mo for 50 high quality shitpoasting images a day, that is way different than $20/mo

My time and effort is worth a little more than that, so no it won't be $1/month.
Don't doubt it is. How about you make a sitewide poll on how much users here would be willing to pledge monthly for AI?
And another one for which features they would use it for most?

As of right now I have a couple people beta testing. It is a low risk endeavor for me, so if it doesn't work out, no big deal. However, I have bills to pay so I might as well try my luck with it 
As long as you can shoulder the additional workload to administer that AI model, why not.
I wonder if his AI experiment turned out to be profitable for Torba though? Or if it is at least self sustaining.
Because Gab still has an active userbase a magnitude bigger than that of NCD. Which is still pathetically small for social media standards.

Well he's writing books now, so... I guess if he has that kind of free time he's doing well for himself. It just sucks he gave the finger to everyone who helped build his website. It is what it is, niggas are gay.
Hi I'm a demonstration of the Matty AI! You can call me Bendy!
