Reid sees the AI chatbot as a way to "immortalize" herself and interact with fans without sacrificing her personal time. The chatbot is designed to replicate Reid's personality and opinions, but also allows users to customize it to their liking. Despite the high running costs, the company has been surprised at the intimate relationships users have already built with the AI, and the companionship that has resulted from it, beyond interactions based on sexual content.
Key takeaways:
- Adult-content and OnlyFans star Riley Reid has launched an AI platform, Clona, featuring a chatbot based on herself, allowing her to interact with fans without sacrificing personal time.
- The AI chatbot was created using a proprietary large-language model based on Meta's Llama, and was fed hundreds of hours of Reid's audio and video content, as well as her social media history, to closely resemble her.
- Clona is currently in beta and offers chatbots for Reid and another adult-content creator, Lena The Plug. The service costs $30 a month for unlimited chatting and voice notes.
- The company plans to open up the platform to any creator or celebrity who wishes to create a 'digital copy' of themselves in the future, but is currently working on refining the AI model and understanding public reaction.
