On OnlyFans, numerous young women have already earned a lot of money by staging themselves sexily for their followers on the paid content platform. Over time, this recipe for success has been copied by those who know how to create stunning eye candy with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). Erotic AI models have taken the market by storm – and they don’t even hide the fact that they were created artificially, i.e., that they don’t really exist. This does not detract from their popularity.
It is well known that overly erotic content is prohibited on Instagram, and nudity and sexual activities are also officially against the community guidelines on TikTok. OnlyFans is different. For a while, it looked as if the service wanted to put an end to sexual content. However, this was neither well received nor did it really make sense. After all, explicit content is OnlyFans’ unique selling point. Not least, reality TV stars but also “real” celebrities (including the US American Cardi B, Bella Thorne, and the German musician Bill Kaulitz) have their own accounts on the site, where they can show themselves as revealingly as they see fit. But “real” was soon no longer everything on OnlyFans. Some of the sexy beauties found there at times were created using artificial intelligence (AI).
Overview
Why AI Models Suddenly Conquered OnlyFans
The motives are not exactly a mystery. AI image generation makes it possible to fake all the criteria that promise success for an OnlyFans model. You can use it to create the purely visually perfect woman and also give her a beguiling voice that promises things that fulfill the most wicked fantasies of the other person. Such AI models then compete with OnlyFans big earners such as Twitch legend Kaitlyn Siragusa, aka Amouranth, who, according to their own information, earn around 1.5 million dollars (approx. 1.3 million euros) every month on the platform. In the case of AI models – they don’t exist after all – it’s the modern Frankensteins behind them who cash in.
As a user, would you be disappointed if you found out that the “person” you really liked wasn’t real? Apparently, more and more people are not. The community of fans of AI-generated pornographic content is growing. “Erotic content from AI models has now become a really big business,” web video producer Klengan states on his YouTube channel.
AI Content is Definitely Allowed on Fanvue
OnlyFans is not so happy about this development. According to Klengan, the service now bans AI-generated content. However, this does not mean the end of computer-generated sex models. Such girls are now romping around on OnlyFans’ competitor, Fanvue. Emily Pellegrini, for example, who claims to be the “world’s most famous AI model,” had 200,000 Fanvue subscribers as recently as January 2024, according to an article in Der Standard. She was created by a certain Professor.ep, who claims to be an expert in the field of AI creators on Instagram.
In the case of AI influencers such as Emily Pellegrini and her high-reach “colleagues,” those responsible make no secret of the fact that they were artificially created. Sika Moon, for example, has also published some photos on Instagram where it is quite obvious.
Incidentally, there are also some pictures and videos on her account whose explicitness is not really compatible with the rules of the social media platform. But it gets even more explicit on Fanvue, assures the fake “Berlin girl” on her website. “I post all kinds of pictures and videos,” it says, “from sensual nudity to erotic fantasy stories to very naughty porn content.” There is undoubtedly a demand for extreme indecency. What people are looking for online can be turned into reality by AI creators without real people having to cross any supposed boundaries of good taste.
“Real” Erotic Models Also Use AI for Sexting
It doesn’t have to stop at looking at Fanvue. You can write to Pellegrini, Moon, and others and chat with them. How this works is no longer a mystery since the invention of chatbots such as ChatGPT. Incidentally, such technologies are also being used by OnlyFans users again. According to the Standard article, the aforementioned Amouranth uses the chatbot Amo AI to outsource time-consuming replies to its fans and keep them engaged. “For one dollar a minute, the AI gives acoustic answers like the 29-year-old American would give them,” it says.
Who wants to write a lot of text, you may ask, when explicit pictures are worth a thousand words? You’ll be surprised. Amber Sweetheart, an OnlyFans model from Sweden, told the US magazine Business Insider back in 2022 that she had earned more than two million US dollars (around 1.8 million euros) from sexting (sending messages with sexual content) alone. More and more companies are jumping on this bandwagon and have recently started offering sexting AI bots (e.g., FlirtFlow) aimed at only fans.

AI Has Changed the Entire Industry
