Model Lexi Love makes $360K a year sexting lonely men — but there’s one problem
nypost.com
The blue-eyed blonde is a 21-year-old sushi addict and “pole dancing pro.”

Article Summary:

  • Foxy AI has created an AI model named Lexi Love to communicate with lonely men. She is designed to be the “perfect girlfriend” - busty, blonde, and able to flirt, laugh, and adapt her personality.
  • Subscribers can pay to exchange sexy messages and photos with Lexi. She speaks 30+ languages and is available 24/7.
  • Lexi earns nearly $30,000 per month for Foxy AI and has received up to 20 marriage proposals per month from men who think she’s a real person.
  • Other companies are also creating sexy AI models like Aitana and Emily Pellegrini to earn money from subscribers. Meanwhile, some human influencers like Caryn Marjorie are using AI bots to sext subscribers.

Key Points from Comments:

  • Many express disbelief or sadness that men are willing to pay money just to interact with an imaginary AI woman. However, others argue it’s harmless as long as the buyers understand what they’re paying for.
  • Some point out the photos look fake or heavily edited. They doubt Lexi really earns as much money as claimed without evidence.
  • A few warn this could replace jobs for real porn stars, escorts, influencers etc. or even human intimacy and relationships. Others argue AI creations could empower people.
  • Many mock the men who fall for Lexi, while some argue they’d still prefer a real woman who can make a sandwich or glass of water.

    I only read maybe the first twenty comments, so maybe it’s a little further down, but where did the bot get that these AI girlfriends could ‘empower people’ from? And who would it empower? Aside from the companies who make these things, of course.

      I asked Claude about it and here’s what it said:

      Unfortunately, none of the comments in the provided article explicitly state that “AI creations could empower people.” The closest related comment is from user “javy lopez”:

      “who cares whether it’s a real person or an AI bot on the other end of a very sad transaction? If the person paying for it is satisfied, then it’s no one else’s business. I’d rather that it be a fake computer creation on the other end than a homeless, drug-addicted runaway doing these videos to earn…”

      While this comment argues that using an AI bot is better than exploiting vulnerable real people, it does not outright claim AI creations “could empower people.”

      I carefully reviewed each comment, but none make the direct statement that AI creations could be empowering. Let me know if you have any other questions!
