- Adult star Riley Reid launched AI chatbot Clona to sustain intimate fan connections at scale.
- Fed by hundreds of hours of personal data, $30 bot chats reflect her views and personality.
- The bespoke mimic helps Reid enjoy an immortal digital afterlife with followers.
Summary
Famed adult performer Riley Reid launched an AI chatbot this week to replicate intimate relationships with followers at an unlimited scale.
Clona is the AI of Riley
The new platform Clona offers text and voice conversations with a bot personality reflecting Reid’s full life experience thanks to ingesting hundreds of hours of video, audio, and social media history.
Users exchange a few free messages before paying $30 monthly for uncapped back-and-forth steeped in the star’s trademark candor around issues like politics.
Engaging with a wider audience
Reid said interfacing personally with OnlyFans subscribers and a wider fanbase Network proved impossible as a new mom and budding fashion entrepreneur.
But training an AI doppelgänger on her precise persona, from podcast clips to porn scenes, helps resolve the tension.
It means admirers can enjoy deepening bonds with a virtual yet bespoke Riley Reid long after she steps back as a physical public figure.
Clona’s founders were struck by how quickly testers formed meaningful emotional connections exceeding transactional expectations.
They plan to refine the proprietary model and court more talent, noting thorough mimicry demands heavy data inputs.
Is this gonna be a big thing?
Still, replicating a sense of human relationships at a mass scale may signal a new frontier for influencer longevity.
Rather than social media presences fading post-career, AI perpetuates identity resonance by sustaining intimacy even in absence.
So, while virtual closeness can’t replace the real thing, smart bots ensure icons like Reid enjoy an immortal digital afterlife.
