Last year, the tech world was abuzz with “Miss AI 2024,” the first AI beauty contest, hosted by the World AI Creater Awards (WAICA) and backed by Fanvue, a “more SFW version of OnlyFans.” Of course, this sparked the predictable backlash from feminist journalists, with Arwa Mahdawi from the Guardian claiming it was a “monumental step backwards” and that the organizers had “take every toxic gendered beauty norm and bundle them up into (a) completely unrealistic package.” To smooth things over, WAICA decided to hand the $20K prize to Kenza Layli, a ‘Muslim’ AI persona from Morocco—or rather, to the team behind her.

“Kenza Layli” – winner of “Miss AI 2024” being digitally crowned.

This year, in a desperate attempt to appease the critics, WAICA decided to rename the contest to the more politically correct “AI Woman of the Year,” scheduled for July. But it seems the organizers might have realized that even this wasn’t enough, as there’s been no sign of the 2025 contest with less than two months of the year left.

Czech news site ‘Novinky.cz‘ tried to get to the bottom of it, but WAICA has been keeping mum. Perhaps they’re still trying to figure out how to make an AI beauty contest palatable to everyone—or maybe they’ve just given up and are hiding under their digital desks.

Either way, it’s been an entertaining ride, and we can’t wait to see what “xhumanist” comes up with next in the world of sex tech!

Forever Voices, an artificial intelligence company that launched a myriad of celebrity AI “virtual girlfriend” chatbots via Telegram earlier this year, went offline on Oct. 23 after the company founder and CEO was arrested, News Nation reported.

John Meyer, CEO of Forever Voices, was reportedly taken into custody in October for allegedly setting boxes on fire on the balcony of his high-rise apartment in downtown Austin, Texas, local news outlet KXAN reported. He was charged with arson and terroristic threats and his bond was set at $120,000, according to court records.

Before the service went dark and Meyer was arrested, the Forever Voices account posted a series of bizarre conspiracy theories about the FBI, former President Donald Trump and “rogue CIA terrorists” on X (formerly Twitter).

Since Forever Companion was launched with CarynAI, as well as another cloned ‘influencer’ (the pornstar Amouranth), it has faced competition from an ever-growing list of startups with exactly the same idea. And while Caryn Marjorie boasted about how much money she was already making from simps paying dollars for a few minutes of texting with her AI chatbot clone, the site appeared to be in beta mode for months, with a waiting list to actually join. Meyer had already been long in the AI chat clone business, with a previous brand called Forever Voices that sought to clone the personalities of the deceased relatives of customers as AI chatbot versions. Since the rapid explosion in AI chat over the last year, that idea too has seen a host of copycats spring up. Perhaps it was the pressure of trying to remain at the top of this nascent but massively expanding industry, that has led to Meyer’s health crisis.

No matter what does happen from here, John Meyer will always have a little piece of history to his name. As will Caryn Marjorie, who meanwhile has taken her AI clone to one of those rival startups.
