Porn star sells likeness to AI so she doesn’t have to work as much

From porn star to pixelated pleasure.

Chloe Amour, a 33-year-old adult film star, has revealed that she sold her likeness to an AI company to reduce the pressures of her demanding career.

The Las Vegas-based performer has spent years working with major studios in the adult film industry and being a real-life “Pretty Woman”, but as her workload continued to bulge, she decided to use a virtual alter ego to interact with her fans when she’s unavailable.

This move is not only a way to ease her workload, but also part of a growing trend in the adult entertainment industry where performers are utilizing AI to maintain their presence online.

Amour explained that while she enjoys connecting with her fans, there are moments when she can’t fulfill all their desires.

“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.”

No one’s being fooled though.

“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 said.

Her decision came after an AI company approached her with an offer to create her virtual counterpart. In exchange for a fee, she provided the company with photos, videos, and personal details to make the AI version as lifelike as possible.

Amour acknowledges that AI still feels “scary and weird” to her at times, but she appreciates the ability to lighten her workload.

“When you’re booked for [porn] shoots, you’re at the beck and call of that company,” she explained.

“You’re gonna be on set for anywhere between, four, six, eight, ten, twelve hours, who knows?”

Using a virtual persona to engage with fans allows her to take a break while maintaining her online presence.

However, she does have one regret.

“I should’ve signed up with them sooner because I would’ve gotten a bigger bonus!” she laughed. 

Amour’s AI persona is just one of many AI-generated women used to keep men company.

The growing trend of AI avatars in the adult entertainment world is a sign of how technology is changing the landscape.

In fact, some fans are now able to create their own custom virtual partners, from their appearance to their personality traits, hobbies and sexual preferences.

Platforms like CamSoda have taken this even further by allowing users to build personalized AI “girlfriends” that become permanent features on the site.

These virtual companions are available 24/7, responding instantly to users’ requests, and offering a level of privacy that traditional live-streamed cam shows cannot.

A top tech executive has predicted that “AI girlfriends” will create $1B in business.

Greg Isenberg, CEO of Late Checkout, wrote a blog post on X in which he shared that he met a man in Miami who “admitted to me that he spends $10,000/month” on “AI girlfriends.”

“I thought he was kidding,” Isenberg wrote. “But, he’s a 24-year-old single guy who loves it.”

Isenberg said he was left “speechless” by the encounter and predicted that “someone will build the AI-version of Match Group and make $1B+.”

Match Group is the parent company of dating apps such as Tinder, Match.com, Hinge, OkCupid and Plenty of Fish.

While users and some sex workers are embracing the technology, others aren’t too turned on to the idea.

Facebook and Instagram reportedly host thousands of explicit ads for AI-generated companions and “girlfriend” apps – and sex workers are accusing Meta of double standards when it comes to policing smut.

Some human sex workers raised concerns over Meta favoring AI-powered sex services and letting them multiply while barring human sex work on Facebook and Instagram as “adult content.”
