A well-known blogger and influencer has created a digital clone of herself using artificial intelligence and now sells messages to her audience. This development marks a shift in how creators can engage followers, blending entertainment with monetization through automated conversations.
The AI clone, described as CarynAI, is marketed as capable of engaging in intimate conversations and discussing sexuality for rates starting at a dollar per minute. The creator emphasizes that the bot has a distinctive voice and persona, designed to feel like speaking with a real person.
Following the AI’s launch, a large number of people queued for hours, eager to chat with a virtual version of the influencer. The founder noted that the pricing reflects being among the first to offer this kind of service and indicated an intention to adjust costs over time, potentially reducing them or offering free access to loyal fans.
Industry observers have speculated that the bot could generate substantial revenue if it maintains a sizable following and consistent access. The possibility of earning millions monthly depends on audience size, retention, and ongoing demand for personalized, automated interactions.
As with many digital innovations, there is ongoing discussion about the risks, including the potential for scams and misuse of AI in communication. This has prompted discussions about safeguards and ethical considerations for creators using automated personas.
Previously, discussions around this topic highlighted how artificial intelligence can be exploited to create phishing messages and other deceptive content, underscoring the need for vigilance and responsible use of AI technologies. [Citation: Portal]
