Yes-ISH.
If you use it as a tool, it can help you make money in a job like any other tool could.
As the money-making platform it gets a lot more iffy. If you self hosted a model and have a good idea then maybe.
Related question: I haven’t seen anyone claim to be a prompt engineer in ages. Did these people move on to other hype-titles?
If someone could use AI to automate any type of job or task that results in a profit…
The AI companies themselves would be doing it.
The most you’d be accomplishing is scamming people into thinking you’re an actual person working and not just lying with an AI knowing you’ll be fired as soon as they notice
If you want to make money (you’re not gonna make much) then you’re going to want to look for the tasks that can’t be automated, and sign up to do those as a human.
Have you considered a physical hobby? I’ve found a lot of satisfaction in woodworking due to having a physical object representing my work and progress in the hobby.
AI is incredibly popular right now, and there is a ton of competition that you’d have to contend with. Do what makes you happy, I just wanted to point out another viable option for you if you’re wanting a hobby that you can make money off of.
Good luck either way!
Well if you don’t mind being a bad person who actively makes the world a place, you could probably set up some youtube channels and churn out mediocre slopcontent.
Same scam energy as rage-bait news sites whose only purpose is to generate ad-click revenue
I like ai as a hobby
Why? How?
Basically, it can make you money the same way crypto and every other multi-level marketing scheme before it can, by selling people on the idea that they an also sell the idea…
It’s mostly horseshit. The stuff they l;et us play with isn’t what they’re aiming to use AI for.
Like everything else: In life there are no get rich quick schemes, but we live in a world of get richer quick schemes.
Basically, it can make you money the same way crypto and every other multi-level marketing scheme before it can, by selling people on the idea that they an also sell the idea…
That’s only if they own stocks in it…
With AI they got grifted into believing they could “learn skills” that would be valuable once AI became popular. Instead they sunk their own time and electricity into training the AI so people without those “vibe skills” could get the same result. Everytime they’re trying to get an AI to do something, all they’re doing is making it easier for the AI to do it next time.
They’ve literally been making themselves redundant this whole time
If you already have a source of income, don’t turn your hobby into a jobby. Hobbies are supposed to be stress free and ejoyable. If you involve money in it, you’re actively undermining the enjoyability of your hobby.
If not, I still don’t think AI stuff is a good source of income in the near future. The AI market seems to be overheating, and expect most of it to come crashing down just like all the other bubbles. If you get involved with AI right now, there’s a good chance you’re going get your fingers burned.
Nope. If you create something unique and cash out before its copied, then still probably not. I also wouldn’t dive head first into a bubble until it’s stable or already popped
Oh so you want to lazily make money.
Yeah, it’s called effort. Doing shit through AI is not effort.

Making money from a hobby is a great way to tun a hobby you enjoy in a job you hate.
Les alone that unless you go big, yet won’t pay the extra hassle of filling tuy as self employed. No matter whether we talk about doing video on social media on teaching kids to play basketball this is the reason while it’s mostly a volunteer based hobby and not a job
