It’s both. It should be a surprise to nobody that most online art is made to be sexy. It’s basically expected at this point that any decently known artist online has a patreon account with a tier to unlock their NSFW stuff.
I mean you can think about the “prompters” of yesterday when we didn’t have AI generated images - i.e. commissions. People have always paid artists to draw them what they want. Now they can get an AI to draw it for them instead. And the training data is obviously also made from what people want… So yea, it’s both.
