Previously we reported on a 21-year-old college student overseas who built an AI girlfriend using Claude and earned 1.3 million Taiwan dollars per month on OnlyFansstoryRecently, another 47-year-old Japanese man also used only Anthropic’s Claude AI to create a completely non-existent AI girl, setting up accounts on the adult subscription platforms OnlyFans and Fanvue, earning $2,700 (approximately NT$87,000) in the first week alone and reaching monthly earnings of $13,450 (approximately NT$435,000).
Japanese Guy Uses Claude to Create AI Beauties, Earns 430K TWD Per Month on Two Platforms
This post was originally shared by an AI KOL on the X platform @Bober_smart Released on May 23, according to Bober_smart’s description, this 47-year-old Japanese man used Anthropic’s Claude AI (with a monthly subscription fee of just $20) to create an AI-generated beautiful female character. He built a complete social media persona for this character and simultaneously set up accounts on both OnlyFans and Fanvue, the two major adult subscription platforms, generating revenue from both platforms.

His approach is a textbook-level example of content operations.
- TikTok short videos break through to mainstream audiencesCreated a TikTok account for an AI girl, uploaded AI-generated short videos, amassed over 1.2 million views in just 7 days, and attracted 4,678 followers
- Targeted Reddit traffic generationAt the same time, create accounts on Reddit, post photos and short videos of AI girls, precisely targeting the male audience
- Dual Platform MonetizationAll social media traffic ultimately directs to the paid subscription pages on OnlyFans and Fanvue.
The first week was hugely productive: 143 paid subscriptions on OnlyFans and 64 on Fanvue, totaling 207 subscribers. At $9.9 per subscription, the first week brought in approximately $2,700. Projecting forward, that’s a monthly income of $13,450 (about NT$435,000), and his entire operating cost is just the $20/month Claude AI subscription.
The adult AI virtual creator economy is taking shape
This case is not an isolated incident. As generative AI technology has become more widespread, AI virtual creators (AI Virtual Influencers) have become a rapidly growing industry. According to market research, by 2026 alone, numerous tools and services (such as platforms like Sozee.ai) have emerged specifically to help creators build AI virtual characters and monetize them on platforms like OnlyFans.

A large number of tutorials have also appeared on YouTube, with titles such as “How to Build an AI OnlyFans Influencer From Scratch with Claude AI” – complete courses with view counts continuing to climb.
Even online, ready-made AI beauty video generation services already exist that can batch-produce this type of OnlyFans content, eliminating the need for human performers.
Gray areas in platform policies and compliance requirements
According to the latest policy information from relevant platforms, OnlyFans has already clearly stated in 2026Allow AI-generated contentHowever, creators must comply with specific compliance standards. According to the latest platform policies, AI-generated adult content must be labeled as AI-created, must not involve minors, must not use real people’s likeness without authorization, and must follow six core rules.
Fanvue, as the main competitor to OnlyFans, is more receptive to AI virtual creators, even promoting AI characters as one of the platform’s features, attracting many creators who don’t want to show their faces to turn to AI-generated content.
However, this has also sparked multifaceted controversies: Could AI-generated content marginalize human creators? How can platforms prevent AI characters from being used for fraud or deception? Do consumers have the right to know that what they’re paying to subscribe to is not a real human? These questions continue to be debated at the industry and regulatory levels.
The biggest significance of these cases isn’t about “how much money someone made using AI,” but rather that this signals a transformation extending far beyond the adult content industry. When AI can generate content at near-zero marginal costs, traditional content creators’ competition is no longer the team next door, but infinitely productive AI. This also forces consumers on platforms like OnlyFans to start questioning whether the sexy beauties they’re paying to subscribe to might actually be some greasy guy or otaku online, and whether this will fundamentally change consumption behavior on such adult platforms remains to be seen.
