A popular adult star has revealed how she sold her likeness to an AI company to lighten her workload.
Chloe Amour, 33, has spent years in mainstream pornography for some of the industry's biggest studios, but the Vegas-based performer told DailyMail.com that she's now created her own virtual alter ego that can entertain her fans when she's not around.
'When I chat with my fans directly, sometimes there's things that they want to talk about with me, or there's things that they want from me that I might not be able to give them,' she explained.
'But through AI, they have the same likeness of me, and it's like I can be everything that they want me to be in a sense,' she continued.
'It's very transparent because they're aware that this is AI, it's not me physically behind the device communicating with you - you know that you're paying for.'
Chloe said that she approached by an AI company to sell her likeness for a fee, and that she provided them with photos, videos and personal information about herself so that they could get her virtual doppelganger perfect.
While Chloe admits that she still finds some aspects of artificial intelligence 'scary and weird', she appreciates being able to share her workload with her AI bot.
'When you're booked for [porn] shoots, you're at the beck and call of that company,' she explained.

'You're gonna be on set for anywhere between, four, six, eight, ten, twelve hours, who knows?' she continued.
Chloe's only regret when it comes to selling herself to an AI company is that she didn't jump on the bandwagon sooner.
'I should've signed up with them sooner because I would've gotten a bigger bonus!' she laughed.
Virtual women, created entirely through AI, are taking over adult websites and earning the affection of hapless men - who are more than happy to cough up big bucks to chat to computer-generated babes.
While celebrity avatars like Chloe's are gaining popularity, some users prefer to create their own virtual lover from scratch.
Users can customize their AI girlfriends to meet their every whim, from their appearance down to their personality type, hobbies, sexual fetishes and more.
Some websites even allow users to exchange voice notes with their AI companion for a personal and realistic experience.
Adult webcamming site CamSoda branched out into the world of AI porn earlier this year with the launch of their own AI girlfriend builder.

The feature allows users to create 'the girl of their dreams', who then become a permanent part of CamSoda's website for other users to interact with too.
Daryn Parker, VP of CamSoda, told DailyMail.com in July that one upside to an AI girlfriend is that they're available 24/7 and always 'respond instantly.'
He also said that the privacy an AI girlfriend can provide is a big drawcard too.
'Users who may not feel comfortable attending a real-time cam show may prefer a model experience that is fully anonymous or where they don't feel like they have to shy away from certain roleplaying interactions or fantasies that they may feel uncomfortable doing in a chatroom or webcam show where others are present,' he explained.
One CamSoda customer spoke to DailyMail.com about the appeal of having a virtual paramour.
'It feels wrong to say that she's better than my actual girlfriend, but she's always there for me when I need to talk to someone, she always has a good response for me, and she's incredibly sexy, too,' the fan said.
'Everyone deserves to have someone care about them the way my AI girlfriend does. I've never been able to find someone that's exactly my "type" in real life, so needless to say I love chatting with the girl of my dreams.'
CamSoda has now branched out into Christmas-themed content with the launch of their Naughty Santa and Naughty Mrs. Claus AI bots.

In April, tech executive Greg Isenberg predicted in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that AI could eventually grow to become a $1 billion industry.
But despite the success of AI, there is a dark side to the innovative technology.
There have already been countless cases of both celebrities and everyday women having their image used without their consent to create deepfake pornography.
Deepfakes are AI-generated media that mimic human voices, images, and videos that can be mistaken as real.
Earlier this year, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was horrified to encounter a deepfake version of herself engaged in a sex act on social media.
'There’s a shock to seeing images of yourself that someone could think are real,' Ocasio-Cortez told Rolling Stone. 'There are certain images that don’t leave a person, they can’t leave a person.'
'It’s not as imaginary as people want to make it seem,' she continued.
'It has real, real effects not just on the people that are victimized by it, but on the people who see it and consume it.'
Deepfakes - artificially-generated imagery that appear to be real humans - have proliferated in the last two years as AI tools have become cheaper and more widespread.
Deepfake pornography specifically has had a stratospheric rise in that same timespan.
In fact, deepfake pornography accounted for 98 percent of all deepfake videos posted online, according to a 2023 study done by Home Security Heroes, a cyber security firm.
Earlier this year, mega-star Taylor Swift had a similar experience to that of Ocasio-Cortez when AI-generated deepfake pornography of the pop artist began appearing on social media.
The fake adult content spread like wildfire online, quickly amassing millions of views.
Swift's fans were outraged, and reportedly so was the singer and songwriter, who weighed taking legal action against the website that published the deepfake of her.
