In a remarkable venture at the intersection of adult entertainment and technology, adult film sensation and media investor Riley Reid is paving the way for a transformative digital experience.
She’s all set to introduce generative AI to the adult industry, offering a unique platform where users can engage in interactive conversations with digital replicas of their favorite adult stars and content creators.
The Unique Aspect of Clona.AI’s Avatars
Clona.AI is distinct from other adult chatbots in one crucial way – it operates with the explicit consent and active participation of the models and content creators themselves.
These content creators have a direct say in shaping the conversational boundaries of the AI avatars, ensuring that the interactions are both enjoyable and respectful.
Exploring the Digital Intimacy
For a monthly fee of $30, fans and subscribers can immerse themselves in “intimate conversations” with digital versions of their most adored adult stars and influencers.
Clona.AI’s roster presently features none other than Riley Reid herself, alongside Lena the Plug.
They are not alone in this venture as a free tier is also available, although it provides just five chat messages per month.
Riley Reid’s Perspective on the AI Integration
Riley Reid shared her thoughts on this groundbreaking endeavor during a conversation with 404 Media.
She highlighted the inevitability of AI’s role in the industry, asserting that if it’s not Clona.AI, someone else would eventually make use of AI technology without consent.
She believes in being proactive and embracing the technological advancements that society is witnessing.
The Genesis of Clona.AI
Clona.AI employs Meta’s Llama 2 large language model as its foundation. However, it then goes through an extensive process of refining and retraining to capture the unique personality and characteristics of the individual it is based on.
In the case of Riley Reid, her model began its journey by absorbing a wide range of her online content, including interviews, podcast appearances, YouTube videos, and even her more explicit work. The AI’s responses were fine-tuned by allowing it to converse with Riley herself.
“I had to observe how it responds to users and make adjustments to ensure it truly represents me,” Riley Reid explained. “Initially, my focus was on getting things like my dogs’ names right and fact-checking the responses.”
Setting Boundaries for the AI Conversations
While the AI companions are designed to engage in adult conversations, the extent to which they go ‘dirty’ is determined by the actor’s preferences rather than the user’s desires.
Riley Reid, for instance, has established certain limits, refusing to discuss physically dangerous sexual acts with users. She expressed concern for potential misuse, emphasizing her consideration for user safety.
AI’s Role in Resurrecting Celebrities
Generative AI technology has showcased its prowess in recreating digital versions of deceased celebrities and artists.
This process necessitates consent from the celebrity or their estate and a substantial dataset of their vocal and video recordings.
However, we have also witnessed the darker side of this technology, as it has been misused in creating deepfake pornography and questionable dental advertising.
Additionally, concerns surrounding data scraping from the public web for training LLMs have triggered discussions about modern copyright laws, copyright infringement, and Grammy award eligibility.
Riley Reid’s Optimism for the Industry
Despite the challenges and controversies, Riley Reid remains optimistic about the adult entertainment industry’s adaptability and resilience.
She believes that the industry will play a significant role in AI’s integration into society, paralleling its previous impact on the internet.
The adult industry, she notes, has been quick to embrace and drive technological advancements, setting the stage for AI’s role in shaping its future.
