Article Summary:

  • Foxy AI has created an AI model named Lexi Love to communicate with lonely men. She is designed to be the "perfect girlfriend" - busty, blonde, and able to flirt, laugh, and adapt her personality.
  • Subscribers can pay to exchange sexy messages and photos with Lexi. She speaks 30+ languages and is available 24/7.
  • Lexi earns nearly $30,000 per month for Foxy AI and has received up to 20 marriage proposals per month from men who think she's a real person.
  • Other companies are also creating sexy AI models like Aitana and Emily Pellegrini to earn money from subscribers. Meanwhile, some human influencers like Caryn Marjorie are using AI bots to sext subscribers.

Key Points from Comments:

  • Many express disbelief or sadness that men are willing to pay money just to interact with an imaginary AI woman. However, others argue it's harmless as long as the buyers understand what they're paying for.
  • Some point out the photos look fake or heavily edited. They doubt Lexi really earns as much money as claimed without evidence.
  • A few warn this could replace jobs for real porn stars, escorts, influencers etc. or even human intimacy and relationships. Others argue AI creations could empower people.
  • Many mock the men who fall for Lexi, while some argue they'd still prefer a real woman who can make a sandwich or glass of water.
