Meet the ‘world’s hottest model’ catching the eye of famous footballers, MMA fighters and billionaires – but is all what it seems?
One model on Instagram is catching the attention of famous footballers, MMA fighters and billionaires… but all is not as it seems
Emily Pellegrini has amassed a huge Instagram following of 123,000 in just four months, but even though her videos and photos are realistic, they are entirely AI-generated.
With her curvaceous physique and long brown hair, Emily started making her maker almost $10,000 in just six weeks on the content creation platform Fanvue.
They explained: 'I asked Chat GPT what the average man's dream girl is and it said brown hair, long and long legs, so I made her exactly as it said.

'The goal was to make her likable and attractive. I wanted to keep her as real as possible.'
Emily has quickly attracted the attention of wealthy, powerful and successful men.
Her creator explained, “It's very different who contacts her where. Through Instagram direct message there are really famous people, such as footballers, billionaires, MMA fighters and tennis players.
'They think she's real. They invite her to Dubai to meet and eat in great restaurants.”
An unnamed famous face who contacted her reportedly knew Cristiano Ronaldo, the creator claimed.
He said: 'There was a moment where I thought 'what the hell is going on?'
An avid professional football player also came across Emily's post, asking: 'How is it possible that such a beautiful lady doesn't have a boyfriend?'
The German star even asked the AI model for her contact details.
Emily is often asked at restaurants and even invited to fly to Dubai by some of the world's rich and famous
A famous footballer even slid into Emily's Instagram DMs thinking she was a real woman – and even asked for her WhatsApp number
Emily's creator also created her blonde sister – Fiona Pellegrini – who amassed 30,000 Instagram followers in just a few weeks (pictured)
But while Emily is offered trips to five-star hotels and expensive restaurants, it's far from glamorous for the person who manages her accounts.
They said: “In the beginning, I worked on her 14-16 hours a day to really figure out which Emily's programs work well for her face, body and video,” the creator said.
“Now I work eight hours every day of the week. I'm not the kind of person who goes to a party, I just work.”
But Emily isn't the only character that exists in her world, with the creator creating a sister for her named Fiona, who has also amassed around 30,000 Instagram followers.
Emily and Fiona's success comes after the use of AI generators has skyrocketed in recent months, with Unstable Diffusion producing more than 500,000 NSFW images every day, according to Business insider.
Fanvue's founder and CEO Will Monange told the publication that AI gives content creators the opportunity to discover their creative spark without being 'the face' of a creation.
They believe that AI-generated adult stars will “thrive” in the near future and eventually become major competitors to real influencers.
Not only that, but it also gives creators the opportunity to be more than one person.
The Emily and Fiona creator hopes to add more sisters to their AI brood, joking, “Yes, I have a plan to launch a third and fourth model, but not so soon.” There's no name yet, but the third one will be a redhead.”
Fiona and Emily's huge success comes as it was confirmed that the use of AI generators has soared in recent months, with one platform creating more than 500,000 images every day
Fanvue's CEO Will Monange said AI creations allow the mind behind it to be creative without being 'the face'
Emily's creator explained that running her account sometimes felt like a “double life.”
What is the advantage these AI models have over your typical influencer? They can be anywhere in the world from their creator's living room.
Emily's creator explained, “I will grow because I can be anywhere, anytime, so you are not just your bathroom. You can go from Monte Carlo to Mallorca, from Spain to China.'
Speaking about what it's like to be the faceless ghost behind Emily and Fiona's blossoming stories, their creator said: 'It definitely feels like a double life.
'But I really don't want to be in the public eye. I don't want to be on the internet as an influencer who has to make videos every day showing everything they eat and do. It's just not my thing.'
