As we all know, Omegle shut down in 2023 but it seems like they are making a return after a three-year hiatus.

You can read their old obituary here: https://web.archive.org/web/20260617045046/https://omegle.com/

However, the website updated a couple days ago.

What are they cooking?
 
I assume they made a deal with some AI company to scrape everything for more realistic facial expressions while interacting.
Almost certainly correct. If you read the initial "farewell" message posted financial considerations are specifically highlighted while also sounding like a true believer in Omegle's concept. What changed between 2023 and now?

Omegle is a dream come true for AI training that can be run at cost. Thousands of real people globally interacting through text, voice, and video constantly, and you can even assign subjects for them to talk about or throw your bots in there to interact and improve. Archives always kept. You don't even have to pay them for giving you human input and data, they're going to go to you willingly and speak genuinely on their own time.

Granted a lot of the data is going to be horny, insipid, and tainted by other AI companies using their models to pretend to be people, but there's a market for that and human input is at a premium. Fund it from a separate third party company just enough to keep Omegle afloat, don't overfund it considering the inevitable lawsuits given the nature of Omegle, and you've got a cheap endless fountain of training data from a pool of millions of people. Quite brilliant.

Surely there are easier ways to get videos of guys jacking off into a webcam
