anthara_ai · x · 2026-08-29
A 21-year-old student generated $43,000 in a month using an AI virtual influencer named Maya on OnlyFans, attracting 1,247 paid subscribers. Maya's photos, messages, and voice are entirely AI-generated, managed via just four documents (including a persona.md). The post highlights that building such a persona took 6-18 months previously but now takes only 4 weeks, potentially dropping to a weekend soon.
