Wired identifies AI-generated accounts copying comedians to promote subscription pages

Wired identified eight comedians whose stand-up videos were reproduced by accounts featuring AI-generated women, including the character Aylen Skye. The profiles use more polished and sexualized versions of the videos to attract views and direct audiences to subscription-content pages on Fanvue and OnlyFans; some also post fictional interviews and provocative jokes. According to Wired, some copied videos reach larger audiences than the originals.

Comedian Julia Jasunas said Meta told her that her report did not violate its rules because Skye was not pretending to be Jasunas—it was simply presenting the joke as its own. Wired notes that Instagram’s policies prohibit impersonation but do not necessarily cover copying material without copyright protection, and that labeling of AI-generated content is inconsistent.
