In a bold move that reflects the increasing intersection of technology and adult entertainment, 33-year-old adult film actress Chloe Amour has sold her likeness to an artificial intelligence (AI) company.
The Las Vegas-based performer, who has spent years in the adult film industry, made this decision to alleviate the pressures of her demanding career and maintain a constant online presence.
According to The New York Post, Amour's decision to create a virtual alter ego is part of a growing trend in the adult entertainment industry. Performers are increasingly turning to AI to sustain their online presence and interact with fans, even when they are not physically available.
Amour shared her experience, stating, When I chat with my fans directly, sometimes theres things that they want to talk about with me, or theres things that they want from me that I might not be able to give them.
She further explained the benefits of her AI persona, saying, But through AI, they have the same likeness of me, and its like I can be everything that they want me to be in a sense.
The adult film star was quick to clarify that her fans are not being deceived. Its very transparent because theyre aware that this is AI, its not me physically behind the device communicating with you you know that youre paying for, Amour said.
The decision to create an AI persona came after an AI company approached Amour with an offer. In return for a fee, she provided the company with photos, videos, and personal details to make the AI version as lifelike as possible. Despite admitting that AI can feel scary and weird at times, Amour appreciates the technology for its ability to lighten her workload.
The use of AI in the adult entertainment industry is not limited to Amour. Platforms like CamSoda allow users to build personalized AI girlfriends that become permanent features on the site. These AI companions are available 24/7, offering a level of privacy that traditional live-streamed cam shows cannot match.
The potential of AI in the adult entertainment industry is enormous. Greg Isenberg, CEO of Late Checkout, predicted that AI girlfriends could generate $1 billion in business. He shared an anecdote about a man in Miami who spends $10,000 per month on AI girlfriends. Isenberg was left speechless by the encounter and predicted that someone will build the AI-version of Match Group and make $1B+.
However, the rise of AI in the adult entertainment industry has not been without controversy. Some human sex workers have accused Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, of double standards when it comes to policing adult content.
They argue that while Meta allows AI-powered sex services to proliferate, it bars human sex work on its platforms as adult content.
As technology continues to evolve, the adult entertainment industry is poised to change with it. Performers like Amour are leading the way, embracing AI as a tool to manage their workload and maintain a constant online presence.
However, as this trend continues, it raises important questions about the future of work, privacy, and the ethical implications of AI in the adult entertainment industry.
