An adult actress has revealed how her virtual clone now rakes in $20,000 (£16,000) a month, earning her more than her actual porn shoots.
Sika Moon, a 28-year-old model from Berlin, used artificial intelligence (AI) to make a copy of herselfwhich he has been using to interact with thousands of fans online.
Despite five years of experience in the industry, the model’s virtual clone is gaining far more traction than herself, with Sika now among Fanvue’s top one percent earners in the UK.
But Sika doesn’t seem to mind, as the realistic ‘virtual girlfriend’ project allows her to express her creativity in a way that was previously unimaginable in the adult industry.
“After five years of working in the adult entertainment industry, I became bored with the repetitive and uncreative work in this business,” Sika told MailOnline.
Sika Moon, a 28-year-old model from Berlin, used artificial intelligence (AI) to make a copy of herself, which she has been using to interact with thousands of fans online.
‘I decided to create art again and became fascinated by the potential of AI-backed art creation.
“So, I recreated myself with the help of artificial intelligence tools to be the girl I always dreamed of being: perfect, always young and sexy every minute of the day; intelligent, but with my personality.”
Sika claims that his virtual clone is based on his “real face and body” and calls it “part of me.”
‘She is part of me. And I love her!’ she told MailOnline.
“My fans know she’s just like me and there’s no agency, chatbot, or random nerd talk.”
Like OnlyFans, Fanvue is a site that allows content creators to monetize their images and videos.
Users can view Sika’s content and “chat with her” for $10.99 (£8.82) a month.
Subscribers can even request custom content, which Sika says is often surprisingly “normal” and not “obscene.”
The news comes amid a wave of AI-generated brides, some of whom charge up to $1 (80p) a minute for an “erotic speech”.
In some cases, fans prioritize their fake virtual connections over human relationships as a way to satisfy unfulfilled sexual desires.
This was the case with ‘Sonia’, who was previously revealed to be texting a robot named ‘Idris Elba’, without her husband knowing.

Users can view Sika’s content and ‘chat with her’ for $10.99 (£8.82) a month, although the messages are mainly generated by AI.
The AI modeling industry is now booming, with thousands of virtual characters flooding platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and Twitter.
“This really is just the beginning of the AI creator economy,” Sika said.
“Sika has built an engaged community of fans who share everything with her – it can be about work stress, what to get her partner for her birthday – that kind of thing, and they are more than happy to support me because I am her virtual girlfriend and feel with they.
“And I’m grateful for every one of my lovely new friends, fans and followers.”
Influencers like Sika often use the ‘Anydream’ tool to help with the creation of their virtual alter egos.
This image creation site uses photo and text prompts to generate realistic images of any desired man, woman, or non-binary character.
Controversially, “bad body”, “gross proportions” and “supermodel” are among some of the default prompts on the site.
One message even uses the term ‘cute feminine Lolita dress’: in reference to the disturbing novel in which an adult man becomes obsessed with a 12-year-old girl.
As a result, psychologist Dr. Catherine Hallissey warns that developers should be more careful and stay away from both harmful and inappropriate beauty standards.
“Animated images like these tend to depict flawless skin and exaggerated features promoting an ideal of beauty that cannot be realistically obtained,” he told MailOnline.
‘When people compare themselves unfavorably to such unattainable ideals, this can negatively affect self-esteem and body image.
“In certain people, exposure to these unrealistic representations of beauty can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy and may even be a trigger for body dysmorphia.”
Sika nor Fanvue are associated with Anydream in any way and were not aware of these indications.
MailOnline has approached Anydream for comment.
