The video was of a purported stand-up comic named Aylen Skye, a buxom blond with leonine cheekbones and 250,000 Instagram followers. In the clip, Skye, wearing a crop top and Daisy Dukes, tells a joke about renting out a room in her two-bedroom apartment to a cute guy. To Jasunas’ shock, it was, verbatim, her joke, down to the “ums” and “ahs.”

Whoever Skye was, she didn’t appear to be a comic; the website she advertised in her video, AylenTV.com, redirected to NSFW content on Fanvue, a subscription-based OnlyFans competitor that markets itself as the “No1 AI monetisation platform for creators.” And not only did she appear to not be a comic, she also didn’t seem to be real. After looking at Skye’s comments section, Jasunas was fairly convinced she was AI.

“You look at any female comic’s comments section and you’ll see all these men berating her, objectifying her body, saying she’s not funny or the joke is bad,” she says. But with Skye, all of the comments were positive. “That’s how I knew she was fake,” she deadpans.

Horniness is an unrecognized social problem. And when it is recognized, it is women who are blamed for it.

    I wouldn't call horniness a societal problem, as its the core function of our main biological imperative. That, and, y'know, women get horny too

    I do agree with the woman being blamed thing being... Weird, dumb, uneducated, gas lighting, you name it.

    I never understood why people act like its a bad thing when a women enjoys herself. Who the hell do you think you are that you have something to say about another person, let Aline a random women you don't even know

    I guess properly channeled into responsibly finding a mate, horniness is not a problem. But when it turns into entitlement, misogyny, and self-hatred, it is definitely a problem. Usually indexed under "manosphere", but the root cause is horniness.

    Women get horny, too, but the dynamics and presentation (and social response) are all radically different (ie, not anti-social) and should be considered separately.

    I totally agree with you - I am certainly a horny woman at times - but this issue isn't really about that as the horny content is being produced by AI generated women.

    The thing is horniness is also a necessary social force, so you can't ban it outright. The grey area is exploited by big-awooga.

    I vote we go back to a mating season like the rest of the animal kingdom. Anyone caught getting horny outside of tuesdays and fridays goes straight to horny jail.

    I don't have any solutions, just think it's a little weird it's never acknowledged as a problem. In fact, we're more likely to frame the problem as men not getting laid than that they are so desperate to get laid they can't relate to a woman normally for a few hours.

    But imagine if Excessive Horniness were a DSM disorder based on it actually interfering with people's lives in the way that it very often does, the same way we got Premenstrual Dysphoria.... or if there was a drug that counteracted male horniness. There would be riots.

    It's not about banning it, it's about not marketing and profiting off of it to the detriment of others.

    or in other words, there is a grey area which is exploited by big awooga?

    Yeah, that's literally what the article is about.

    Jokes and stand up comedians sorta exist in a grey area - jokes are often stolen between comedians, but they also look out for each other when that happens. These AI replicas are stealing those jokes to gain attention and redirect that attention to their OnlyFans page to capitalize on male horniness.

    If the male horniness is driving this AI trend of stealing other's work, yeah, we should fight against that.

    We don't have to destroy people's careers in order to bolster an AI OnlyFans page.
