I'll just mention that the community at civitai.com has been on it for a few years, and while their output is impressive, it absolutely doesn't seem to be a 1 Trillion USD market on its own.
I think that there's a much bigger market in being able to have sexually-explicit conversations with a persistent AI persona, and it seems that OpenAI want a chunk of that.
Next step - scrape nhentai, feed it to sora and sell videos to gooners. 1 Trillion USD market out of thin air.
