The AI transfer station is definitely a super profitable business, even Justin Sun personally got involved, so there's no need to doubt the profit margins.
The profits come from two main sources. First, mixing low-end and high-end AI tokens together for sale. If you're ruthless, you can collect tokens from various studios at an extremely low cost where they were farmed for free.
Second, selling data—selling user data to domestic companies for training models. This source of profit has already surpassed the first one.
This is undoubtedly a gray industry, but the profits are massive. It’s very similar to the early days of the internet affiliate business, where premium traffic and junk traffic were mixed together for sale, and later evolved into directly selling artificial traffic.
