Woman Uses AI To Create 'Dream' Version Of Herself And Now She Earns $20,000 A Month

An adult performer has revealed how her virtual clone is now raking in $20,000 (£16,000) a month - earning her more than her real adult shots.

Sika Moon, a 28-year-old model from Berlin, got creative with artificial intelligence (AI) and made a digital version of herself. 

Now, she's using this digital version to connect with thousands of fans online.

Even though she's been in the adult entertainment industry for five years, Sika Moon's AI-made twin is getting way more attention than her real self ever did.

Because of this, she's now in the top one percent of Fanvue earners in the UK.

However, Sika appears to be quite content with the situation. Her "virtual girlfriend" project enables her to explore her creative side in a manner that was previously inconceivable within the adult industry.

"After five years of working in the adult entertainment industry, I got bored of the repetitive and uncreative work in this business," Sika told MailOnline.

"I decided to get back to creating art - and got fascinated by the potential of AI supported art creation."

"So, I recreated myself with the help of AI tools to be the girl I always dreamed to be - perfect, forever young and smoking sexy every minute of the day - smart, but with my personality." 

Sika claims her virtual clone is based on her 'real face and body', and calls it a 'part of me'.

"She's a part of me. And I love her!" she told MailOnline.

"My fans know she's like me and there's no agency, chatbot or random nerd chatting."

Similar to OnlyFans, Fanvue is a platform that enables content creators to monetize their photos and videos.

For a monthly fee of $10.99, users can access Sika's content and engage in conversations with her.

Subscribers also have the option to request personalized content from Sika, which she notes is often surprisingly ordinary rather than explicit.

This development coincides with a trend of AI-generated virtual partners, with some charging as much as $1 (80p) per minute for intimate conversations.

In certain instances, fans are giving preference to their artificial virtual relationships over human connections as a means of fulfilling unmet sexual desires.

The world of AI models is thriving, with thousands of virtual characters flooding platforms including Instagram, TikTok and Twitter.

"This really is just the start for the AI creator economy," Sika said.

"Sika has built an engaged community of fans that share everything with her - it might be about work stress, what to get their partner for their birthday - that sort of thing, and they're more than happy to support me because I'm their virtual girlfriend and feel with them."

"And I'm thankful for every single one of my lovely new friends, fans and supporters."

Influencers like Sika often rely on a tool called 'Anydream' to help them create their virtual alter-egos.

This image creation website uses both photographs and written instructions to produce realistic images of people, whether they're male, female, or non-binary.

Controversially, the site includes several 'negative' default prompts like 'bad body' and 'gross proportions,' which refer to features that creators may not want to see in their virtual characters.

On the other hand, there's even a 'positive' prompt that mentions a 'cute feminine Lolita dress,' a reference to a problematic novel where an adult man becomes fixated on a 12-year-old girl.

Because of these concerns, psychologist Dr. Catherine Hallissey advises developers to exercise more caution and avoid promoting harmful or inappropriate beauty standards.

"Animated images such as these tend to portray flawless skin and exaggerated features which promote an ideal of beauty that cannot be realistically obtained," she told MailOnline.

"When people compare themselves unfavourably to such unattainable ideals, it can negatively impact self-esteem and body image."

"In certain individuals, exposure to these unrealistic portrayals of beauty can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy and can even be a trigger for body dysmorphia."

Sika nor Fanvue are associated with Anydream in any capacity and were not aware of these prompts.

A spokesman for Anydream told MailOnline: "I think some of the terms you mentioned are in the negative prompt which means they are the terms that we don't want to include."

"In Asia where I'm from, the term "Lolita" is simply a popular female fashion style, without the male obsession part. I think at this point in history, the origin is rather obscure."
