@RileyReid, a well-known #adult #actress, is entering the #AIgame with #Clona, a #startup by and for #creators. The app, launched by Reid, allows #fans to have 24/7 contact with her #AIclone through #DMs and #audiochat using a proprietary language model that also allows #erotic #conversation. The app is currently in beta and costs $30 a month after a five-message free trial.

The demand for such a service is #obvious, as platforms like #ChatGPT are unable to respond to #NSFW #requests. Even though there are #AIerotic #storygenerators available online, more #mainstream #apps like #Replika have been resistant to being used for sex, even briefly suspending #adultcontent earlier this year. However, when Reid spoke to the real Reid via phone before #Clona's launch, she said the #app was not just to provide her fans with the opportunity to #sext with the 2022 AVN Award winner for Best #OralSex #Scene, but also to provide fans with a space to connect with her on a more emotional level.

Riley Reid #admits that the #bot is currently more focused on #training the #model what not to do than #training it to be more #reflective of her actual #personality. The #bot is trained not to #engage in discussions about #religion or #politics, for instance, or to reveal too much about Reid’s personal life. She also told me she was trying to train her bot not to encourage people to engage in self-harm, such as the practice of sounding, a fetish involving the penetration of one’s urethra for pleasure.

Clona.ai uses @Meta's #Llama2 large language model as a #base, then heavily #refines and #retrains it to reflect the personality of the person it's based on. Reid explains that her model was first trained on a variety of her online media, including interviews, podcast appearances, and YouTube videos (in addition to some of her x-rated work).

While the #AIcompanion will be capable of #talkingdirty, how dirty that gets depends on the actor's preferences, not the user's. Reid notes that her model will not discuss physically dangerous sex acts with users.
