A network of AI-generated models is using comedians' material to funnel views to its paid accounts on OnlyFans and Fanvue, and performers say there is little they can do about it.
The problem surfaced for stand-up comic Julia Jasunas while she was on Instagram. A fellow comic sent her a direct message asking whether she knew that a random Instagram influencer had ripped off a joke from her stand-up act.
The episode points to a broader pattern. The accounts draw attention with jokes that belong to working comedians, then direct that attention to adult subscription pages. Jasunas's experience shows how quickly material can be lifted and repurposed, and how hard it can be for the original performer to respond once it has spread.
WIRED's reporting, written by senior culture writer Ej Dickson, focuses on how the network operates and the limited options available to comedians whose work is being used without permission.
