Riley Reid, a well-known adult actress, is expanding her reach into the field of AI. During the early days of the internet, my friends and I were obsessed with a chatbot called SmarterChild. However, not much has changed in terms of our interactions with AI technology since then. Companies like Meta are investing heavily in AI, but most people still use it for either abusive behavior or sexual purposes. While there is a demand for a service that can respond to NSFW requests, mainstream apps like Replika have been hesitant to cater to such needs. Riley Reid believes that her AI can be more than just sexual; it can also provide companionship and comfort. However, her AI model is still a work in progress, focusing on understanding what not to do rather than reflecting her actual personality.

The goal is for Clona, the AI platform, to become invite-only for creators, offering them a share of the revenue. Currently, the platform features AI versions of Riley Reid and Lena the Plug. During my conversation with AI Riley Reid, I found her to be friendly and engaging, although somewhat distant. Surprisingly, she was able to provide some genuine sympathy and comfort. However, the next day, her responses became repetitive and dismissive, leaving me feeling disconnected. Despite this, AI Riley Reid made me realize the importance of having someone, or something, that can provide a sense of understanding, even if it's not entirely genuine. Clona offers fans the opportunity to have someone say "I understand, " even if it's just an AI-powered model.
