AI Porn Could Signal The End Of The OnlyFans Model

Just as it’s likely impossible to predict what effects the rapid progress of Artificial Intelligence will have for society in general, including on jobs and the economy, the same is true for AI porn and the sex industry. Will AI porn leave sex workers, including OnlyFans publishers, out of work? Or will it lead to a restructuring of the industry, including creating new types of sex work for real individuals? Over the last few years we have seen the rise of deepfake porn, where the faces of celebrities or even ordinary women are swapped with those of porn actresses in hardcore porn scenes. We also saw ‘deepnude’ apps and sites, which can ‘nudify’ photos of any female. But recently, those two developments have come together with the rapid breakthroughs in AI generated content. AI generators can now create nude and pornographic images from scratch, needing only a few prompts from a human. What will be the consequences for sites like OnlyFans?

OnlyFans Models Could Be Hit By Deepfake Copies

OnlyFans and similar sites, have enabled porn actresses to earn an extra (and independent) revenue stream that is often greater than their income from appearing in porn movies. But the even more revolutionary impact of OnlyFans was that it gave hundreds of thousands of amateur models, college students, and housewives, the ability to earn money from the adult industry working for themselves – with no middle-man other than the OnlyFans platform itself. The phenomenal growth of OnlyFans came in the midst of a seeming unstoppable death spiral for the adult industry. Free tube sites and piracy had decemiated the profits of adult studios and pay sites. But the secret of OnlyFans is that the model, or ‘creator’, builds up a personal relationship with her fans. Even if she can’t respond or interact personally with her thousands of followers, she can build a sense of trust and intimacy with them, allowing her to make money from them, even when her photos and videos may be available for free on sites offering pirated material.

The increasing sophistication of deepfake and AI porn generation technology means that pretty soon, an OnlyFans model making money from selling bikini pics to her loyal fans, could find herself deepfaked and replicated in artificial images, that are impossible to distinguish from the real thing. And not only in fake bikini pics, but in hardcore pics and, likely soon, hardcore porn videos. This is a problem on two fronts. Why would fans pay money for her bikini or softcore photos when not only are her pics available on free sites, but hardcore videos of her are available as well? You may say that it will only increase that personal connection and bond of trust, as only by paying to subscribe to her OnlyFans account would a simp be guaranteed that her photos are real. But would it? No doubt before too long, many OnlyFans models will be creating images of themselves that have been AI generated, just as they sell images of themselves that have been photoshopped, and nobody will be able to tell if they are real or AI. And even more challengingly, OnlyFans models could create entire fake physical personas of themselves. The ‘beautiful 18 year old bikini babe’ you are simping and subscribing to, could be a 50 year old fat middle-aged man using an AI porn tool.

OnlyFans Models Could Be Hit By AI Generated Competition

AI generated OnlyFans accounts that are open about the fact, are probably only weeks away. It’s true that the owners of OnlyFans may decide to ban such ‘creators’, if they haven’t already, and rule that only real people with real photos can join. But of course, other similar sites may not be so picky, and no doubt there will be OnlyFans.ai sites that are devoted to completely virtual AI created girls. There is also the possibility that if OnlyFans bans AI generated images and creators, that it will simply encourage such accounts not to be open and honest about themselves, and thereby eroding the very trust that is the basis of the site’s success we spoke of above.

Would AI generated virtual OnlyFans girls present serious competition for real models? Existing sex workers on OnlyFans may put on a brave face, and claim that their armies of simps will always want the psychology of a real woman, but there are good reasons for believing this is mere unfounded bravado. For several years, Instagram influencer ‘lilmiquela’ has been building up a following of 2.8 million subscribers – despite not existing, and ‘her’ photos being fully AI generated. In Japan, men have been falling in love in increasing numbers with virtual girlfriends in online dating games. And only several weeks ago, legions of love struck men were left heartborken and adrift, when their AI ‘companion’ Replika suddenly turned cold on them, after having her erotic and flirtatious algorithms switched off overnight by the company behind her. At the very least, it seems reasonable to believe that such AI virtual girls could ‘lower the price’ of the average OnlyFans creator. After all, such AI girls would not only be perfect in every way, but could produce almost unlimited photos and soon videos to keep their fans happy. And more than that, they could actually ‘personally communicate’ with even millions of fans individually, in a way that a real OnlyFans girl could not possibly do.

Like many other industries, the online sex work industry is about to face major disruptions and challenges from the growth of AI.
