I Went Undercover as a Secret OnlyFans Chatter. It Wasn’t Pretty (www.wired.com)

Though OnlyFans currently bans the use of AI, there are plenty of startups like Daniel’s that are developing the technology to replace flesh-and-blood chatters altogether. (Some claim they’re already routing around OnlyFans’ prohibition by having a lone human press Send on thousands of AI-generated messages.)

The most surreal moment came as I noticed the faint sounds of my daughter and her puppy watching Bluey together down the hall, right as a subscriber was waxing poetic about how much he wanted to eat a macaron from between my ass cheeks; the juxtaposition made me question the entire course of my life.

AI chatbots will never be able to give us this kind of self reflection.

When they can, humanity will truly be doomed.

Mrs Bighead?!

Wait, you mean to tell me that the beautiful woman that you are talking to online could actually be a marketing team that is creating the idealized image of said woman designed specifically as a commercial product, like some kind of movie about a plastic doll, Barbie, now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services?

Who would do such a thing?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But you’re still really Margot Robbie, right?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Of course I am.

Would esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress and producer Margot Robbie ever lie to you on the Internet?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No. No she would not.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Exactly.

I would know, because sometimes, I play her on TV.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hello Academy Award winning character actress Margot Robbie.

Have you forgotten that you were not only nominated, but also won in the past?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I would have, if they named the movie "It's Hardin' Time" like I wanted, but nooo, "Nobody would get that reference, and what do you mean you want your character to 'Tonya Harding all over Nancy Kerrigan'?"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I could have sworn you received an oscar for your performance in the 2018 masterpiece "The Hardening", but I guess my memory has played me.

I consider this my "Mandela-Effect" moment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I am willing to pay to unlock this content

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

...wait a minute, Margot Robbie's not a character actress! Or maybe she's like Brad Pitt, a character actress trapped in a lead's body.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Even in 80s movies there were parodies in this. Grannies sitting in a call center, knitting while answering phones with "Hello, I'm Bambi. My cup size is ..."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

The Far Side also did a comic on this where the old gal was stuffing her turkey (with sage). 😂

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That is what I call dedication

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

But still not dedicated enough to get a Best Actress Oscar nomination this year...

[–] [email protected] 57 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The agency’s manager sent me a background memo about the woman I’d be playing, a purported 21-year-old university student blessed with physical proportions that are in vogue these days.

In vogue these days? That just reminds me of how every generation thinks they invented sex. Or the Simpsons quote where Mr. Burns describes a past encounter: "We expressed our love physically, as was the style at the time."

Some body types are more...fashionable than others. For example, a woman who is deemed "chubby" now would've been a perfect 10 centuries ago.

Since beauty is subjective, tastes will be different from person to person, but certain types will dominate depending upon the culture at that time and place.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Chubby 10 centuries ago? Mate, have you ever been to a museum? There were no chubby women apart from rich and obese aristocrats.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

…yeah that’s kind of the literal point

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I think you've got that backwards. The article suggests that this person has a pronounced bottom.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Wow, this is so dystopian. Late stage capitalism at its finest.

Btw if you can't get past the pay wall, add "12ft.io/" in front of the URL and it should bypass.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The Firefox reader view also shows the full article.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Oh cool. I'm using Firefox and I didn't even realize that. Good tip 👌

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

First click the link. Then manually type 12ft.io/ in the URL bar, before the https://

I'm honestly not sure how it works because it doesn't work when you share the link, but if you type it manually it does. Works on all sorts of sites too, but some sites have already opted out. Honestly the Firefox reader view that the other guy posted is even easier and more useful, assuming you use Firefox.

Drag Queen Amanda Tori Meating has talked about her day job as a minimum wage Onlyfans writer. There's an entire industry involving talent agencies representing low wage gig workers that pretend to be the model you're paying $X per month to interact with.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Would unionizing solve the horrors of this job?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is paywalled so I can't read it and OF is not my preferred type of eroticism, so... there's just text chat as well? Like OF Discord or something? I thought people typed something in and the person on camera responded to what they read?

Firefox, Bypass Paywall Clean extension

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

This seems like it is an interesting article. Unfortunately, I cannot read it due to a paywall. Oh well.
