AI-Generated Hot Girls Are Ripping Off Comedians to Boost Their Horny Content

WIRED — AI · · International · AI Governance

A network of AI-generated social media personas is allegedly lifting comedians' written material to drive traffic to adult content subscription pages on platforms like OnlyFans and Fanvue. The comedians whose work is being used appear to have little legal recourse.
