 OpenAI TTS is $15 for just 1M characters. I wonder how much people are willing to spend on an AI gf.  
 There's plenty of use cases.  For text, I've seen some patreon users charging $10 per month, unlimited tokens, and the dude had 20k subscribers... at $10 per month.. one Dev..

I honestly looked into it because cash cow, but man, the competition is so open it's kinda pointless. 
 Patreon has its own TTS? 
 nah, what I am saying is a case study. 

There are many solo dev's using models and datasets from Hugging Face et al. spinning up their own instance and then charging people for usage.

Everything from create your own sex character to role playing.

In fact, I tried both TTS(whisper) and the GPT for roleplaying in my games, unfortunately, the api breaks character so it's not really doable with Open AI. 
 Whisper is SST, not TTS. Open AI new API looks great unless they faked the demo like Google 
 You'd use whisper for a full experience.  I got an email from them yesterday but been using the new app for a week or two. 

Same same  
 Just testing it? I got bored with ChatGPT a year ago 
 tl, dr:  no - devs using it to charge people/manage subscriptions 
 AI anime waifu? 
 Lol exists  
 It's crap though. I can't imagine paying for what's available
