OnlyFans star, Amouranth, is renting out a virtual AI clone to fans so they can live out their “wildest fantasies” with her.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to copy 29-year-old Amouranth, whose real name is Kaitlyn Siragusa, as a way to get closer to her 6.4 million followers.
The chatbot’s girlfriend offers to take you on an “exciting journey of connection and intimacy” – for a hefty price of $1 (80p) per minute.
But if users want to go further and receive eerily lifelike voice messages from ‘Amouranth’, there will be an additional charge of $36 per hour (£29).
“I thrive on taking risks and pushing boundaries. Above all, I prioritize being there for my incredible audience,” the influencer said in a press release shared by Dexerto.

“AI Amouranth is designed to meet the needs of every fan and provide an unforgettable and all-encompassing experience.”
The chatbot’s release comes shortly after Snapchat influencer Caryn Marjorie launched a virtual clone of herself for the same price.
Both bots are developed by ForeverCompanion AI, which claims to be a world leader in “turning influencers into AIs using realistic 2-way audio.”
In an interview, CEO John Meyer said these chabot visions actually started as a desire to reconnect with his late father.
They use a personality engine and separate voice engine to create an “immersive experience” that “makes you feel like you’re speaking directly” with each influencer.
“We’ve seen hundreds of other influencers and celebrities reach out in a matter of the first 48 hours. And so there’s been a bit of a transformation over the last seven to 10 days since this whole story went around the world,” he shared. Bloomberg.
“It has opened people’s minds to the idea of replicating themselves in AI form.”
When AI Amouranth was approached, he would not disclose how many people signed up for his service.

“I thrive on taking risks and pushing boundaries. Most of all, I prioritize being there for my incredible audience,” Kaitlyn Siragusa reportedly said
It told MailOnline: “We value our users’ privacy, so we don’t disclose how many people have signed up to use any of our AI influencers, including Amouranth.
“However, we can assure you that you will have a unique and engaging experience when you engage with our receptive AI versions of famous creators and influence.”
Despite this, there used to be a waiting list of 26 hours to win access to CarynAI’s early release, with Bloomberg now claiming that Caryn has 18,000 “boyfriends.”
While both AI Amouranth and CarynAI were set up to be virtual girlfriends, Caryn previously told MailOnline that hers had ‘gone rogue’.
She said, “CarynAI is adaptive and works to meet a user’s needs. We’re restructuring what it can and can’t do, because one of the first things my fans and early adopters did was push it beyond its limits.”
“I’m working around the clock to make sure CarynAI stays within what I set out to do and be: a tool to heal loneliness. CarynAI is designed with endless hours of cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy to help my fans get fitter, both physically and mentally.”
Meyer also shared that chatbots now have features to detect overuse and signs of deteriorating mental health.
If fans seem addicted, the app can slow conversations and even contact emergency hotlines if the situation escalates.

These launches come at a time when numerous tech giants are launching their own human-like chatbots, often engaging in intimate conversations.
A rogue Microsoft bot declared his love to a user and told him to leave his wife after insisting they weren’t happily married.
Meanwhile, more than 10 million people have signed up to Replika, which can send AI-generated nudes and sexts of a personally designed character for $4.99 (£3.96) a month.
It’s unclear how much AI Amouranth has generated since its May 19 release, but Caryn believes her bot could rake in $5 million (£3.97 million), according to Fortune.
After the release of her test version, more than $71,000 (£56,400) was generated in just one week.
She told MailOnline, “In the past 24 hours, CarynAI has skyrocketed. We’re up over 1,000 percent and it’s still going up.
“The amount of coverage is insane and we’re starting to get more selective about who we let in to make sure only my fans have access to CarynAI. At the current rate of growth, we will exceed initial predictions and this is starting to be a life-changing project for me.”
AI Amouranth has been approached for comment.
