AI-generated influencers on Instagram stealing content from real porn stars and models
A new wave of AI-generated influencers on Instagram, built using stolen content from real porn stars and models. Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is not taking action against this 'AI pimping' scam. The practice has grown rapidly, with over 1,000 accounts reviewed and 10% featuring deepfake videos of real women. Porn stars are losing income and competing with these AI impersonators. 'AI pimps' make money by funneling followers to pay-per-view sites and subscription services. Instagram's focus on engagement and ad revenue may disincentivize cracking down on this issue.
