They are selling an experience, that includes the style of content, conversation, personality or persona of the creator.

Given that premise the functionally the same whether the creator or the app using an LLM responds, as long as you can keep the immersion in the role play does it matter if its the Youtube or OnlyFans actually responding?

It was already some underpaid offshore worker responding for the large creators, and this is nothing new, ATN and other phone sex line providers were doing this in 1990s and there were probably similar things in times past.



As soon as they're clear about that, sure. The problem is that they lie to their fans and selling it as a conversation with the creator.


We weren't talking to a sexy young attractive lady on those phone sex lines either.

Some didn't care and still used them, many were scammed, but that is the nature of the industry. Sadly it has always been on the consumer of unregulated sexual services to be aware of how the industry of their era works.

Should we legalize, regulate and make it safer for both the buyers and also sex workers? Yes, but that is an another conversation altogether.
