Comedians say sexy AI personas are stealing their jokes to drive traffic to porn sites

Stand-up comedians are accusing artificial intelligence of stealing their jokes and directing traffic to pornographic websites. AI-generated personas on social media, such as "Aylen Skye" and "Tiffany Sloane," have been replicating jokes from real-life comedians, including Julia Jasunas, Olivia Carter, and George Brett Olson.

Experts warn that this phenomenon, part of a broader creative heist, threatens the livelihoods of artists by siphoning traffic and revenue from their work.
