Why it matters for readers: It demonstrates one way AI-generated influencers are being used to spread content and link audiences to paid adult services.

  • Julia Jasunas discovered an Instagram influencer performing one of her jokes word-for-word, including vocal filler.1
  • The influencer profile, Aylen Skye, had about 250,000 Instagram followers and appeared likely to be AI-generated based on comments and other signals.1
  • The profile advertised AylenTV.com, which redirected to Fanvue, a subscription-based NSFW site that promotes itself as an 'AI monetisation platform for creators.'1
  • Comedians are sensitive to plagiarism because they have limited protection against joke theft, according to Jasunas.1
