Have any of you actually made a single extra dollar from AI usage?

A discussion on a developer community forum questioned whether anyone has actually earned additional income from AI usage. Participants noted that many are spending money on AI subscriptions, and there's a proliferation of AI-related projects, such as "5,000 repos on GitHub of Tinder for gerbals." The core inquiry remained whether these efforts translate into financial gain.

This discussion uniquely contrasts the widespread investment in AI subscriptions and projects with a direct question about actual financial returns, unlike many optimistic reports.
