One of the biggest concerns in the age of AI is that robots will Take Our jobs. To what extent is this fear founded? remains to be seenBut we are already seeing some level of replacement some fieldsEven specialized businesses are at risk. For example, the world of OnlyFans chatters is already being disrupted.
What Are OnlyFans chatters, you say? Earlier this year, WIRED published An interesting investigation into the world of gig workers who get paid to impersonate top-earning OnlyFans creators in online chats with their fans. Within the industry, they are referred to as “chatterers”.
A big part of OnlyFans' appeal – or so I'm told – is that its creators connect directly with their fans, exchanging messages and sometimes talking for hours. Relationship simulation is as important a component to its success as basically enthusiasm.
Of course, a creator with thousands of DM conversations only has so many hours in a day. To manage the flood of salacious messages, it has become common to outsource conversations to “chatterers” paid to engage real talent.
These chatters were primarily contractors from the Philippines, Pakistan, India, and other countries whose salary expectations were much lower than the US. But, increasingly, human chatters are being replaced by AI-generated stand-ins.
Now there are many different startups sell access For these AI chatters and other generative AI tools—and they say business is booming.
“A lot of creators said, 'Hey, there's a need for this,'” says Kunal Anand, founder of a startup that offers an AI OnlyFans chatting service called Chatpersona. “We built our model from data obtained from chats with multiple creators.”
According to Anand, since its launch last year, ChatPersona has around 6,000 customers, including individuals and agencies.
Anand says Chatpersona does not technically violate OnlyFans' terms of service because it requires a human in the loop to press the “send” button on messages generated by AI chatters. (This has been mentioned earlier also.) OnlyFans banned from using AI chatbots Although this Current Terms of Service Not to mention AI chatters.)
OnlyFans did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
There is already a lot of crowd in the ground. Some of the better known tools have names like Flirtflow, Chattercharms, and Botly. Another competitor, the relatively generically named SuperCreator, has a suite of AI tools, ranging from AI-generated scripts to an assistant called “Inbox Copilot” that algorithmically sorts simps, sorting out “spenders.” Moves to the top of the list and ignores “freeloaders”. ,
Eden, a former OnlyFans producer who now runs a boutique agency called Heise Talent (and who will speak on the record using only her first name, citing privacy concerns), is an enthusiastic adopter of this technology. She represents five creators, and says they all use SuperCreator's AI tools. “It's a huge increase in sales because you can target people based on their spending,” she says.
