Adult film star Chloe Amour revealed that she sold her likeness to an artificial intelligence company in order to work less.
Amour, 33, who's based in Las Vegas, is following a growing trend of adult film stars utilizing AI to maintain their presence online.
“When I chat with my fans directly, sometimes there’s things that they want to talk about with me, or there’s things that they want from me that I might not be able to give them,” she told the Daily Mail. “But through AI, they have the same likeness of me, and it’s like I can be everything that they want me to be in a sense.”
“It’s very transparent because they’re aware that this is AI, it’s not me physically behind the device communicating with you — you know that you’re paying for,” Amour added.
The 33-year-old said she was approached by an AI company with an offer to create a virtual counterpart and she provided photos, videos and personal details to make her AI version as lifelike as possible. Last year, social media influencer Caryn Marjorie revealed that she made more than $70,00 in one week for her "virtual girlfriend" AI-powered chatbot.
Marjorie said she wanted to offer the voice-based CarynAI to "cure loneliness." CarynAI, which offers "private, personalized conversations" with an AI version of Marjorie, according to its website, has already gone viral and earned the influencer more than $71,610 in revenue after one week of beta testing, with more than 1,000 users accessing the chatbot at a price of $1 per minute, Fortune.com reported.
