This time around, the protagonist is a star who has been struggling in the industry for years.Chloe Amour, 33, decided to hand over some of her work to a virtual double by selling her image to an AI company.

From Real to Virtual: Technology Changes Lives

Living in Las Vegas, Chloe Amour is a well-known figure in the industry, having worked with several big name production companies. However, as her workload continued to grow, she realized she needed to find a new balance. That's when AI technology became her path to relief.

She revealed that although she enjoys interacting with her fans, she often feels overwhelmed by the endless demands of these fans.

Chloe says, "When I talk to my fans, sometimes they want something from me that I can't give, but with AI, they have access to the exact same 'me' that I am, in the sense that I can fulfill all of their expectations. "

To reduce work stress, as well as satisfy fans, an AI version of Chloe is online

The transformation began with an unsolicited approach from an AI company. The other party offered to create Chloe's virtual double and paid a generous amount in exchange. She provided the company with personal photos, videos and relevant details to make the avatar more realistic.

The boundary between the virtual and the real

While Chloe's AI stand-in is able to interact with fans, the model is completely transparent. Fans know that it's not Chloe herself who's chatting with them, but an AI that mimics her. she makes it clear: "Everyone knows it's the AI, not me actually sitting behind the device talking to them. You know what you're getting for your money."

Chloe admits that AI still makes her feel "scary and weird" at times, but she's happy to lighten her workload.

With an AI avatar, Chloe is finally free from some of the constraints of working with a real person. For example, when shooting an adult movie, she is often tied to the set schedule for four to 12 hours, but now she can choose when she wants to be "on" or "off" the set.

However, she also has some minor regrets: "I should have signed up earlier so I could still get more bonuses!"

The AI Wave in the Adult Industry

Chloe's decision is not an isolated case.AI virtual partners are becoming a major trend in the adult industry. Several companies have developed platforms that allow users to design their ideal virtual partner, customizable from appearance to personality, hobbies and even sexual preferences.

For example, adult platform CamSoda has launched a service that allows users to create personalized AI "girlfriends", virtual companions that provide 24/7 companionship and instant interaction with greater privacy.

Chloe provided the company with photos, videos and personal information to make the AI version as realistic as possible.

And this market is rapidly expanding. Some users are even willing to spend up to $10,000 a month on an AI companion. Greg Isenberg, CEO of Late Checkout, a leading tech company, revealed in a blog post that a 24-year-old man was spending $10,000 a month to interact with his AI "girlfriend."

Skepticism about Meta's double standard

While some adult workers are welcoming AI as a way to relieve work stress, others are not. They accuse social media giant Meta of "double standards" in its policies, allowing AI-generated partner ads to proliferate while imposing strict restrictions on real sex workers, whose content is considered illegal "adult content."

At the same time, ethical issues and privacy concerns have surfaced. Some worry that virtual companions may contribute to emotional isolation, while technological vulnerabilities may have unintended consequences.

AI is reshaping the adult industry

Chloe Amour's story is just a snapshot of AI's involvement in the adult industry. From fulfilling users' needs to relieving workers' stress, this technology shows its undeniable potential. However, it also reveals a paradox: when the virtual replaces the real, will people become happier or lonelier as a result?

As AI technology continues to evolve, the adult industry, and even the broader entertainment and social realm, could be completely reshaped. As Chloe herself says, "With AI, I can be anyone they want."
