Lily Rain is a popular AI-generated digital model who earns her creators around $20,000 a month on platforms like Fanvue just for appearing in stunning travel photos.
It’s no secret that AI models are making it big online these days. Fitness model Aitana Lopez has over 300,000 followers on Instagram and isn’t even a real person, Emilly Pelegrini, another digital influencer, has been named the hottest model in the world, and “perfect girlfriend” Lexi Love earns over $30,000 a month keeping lonely people company. While even Marilyn Monroe was resurrected.
Now, another virtual influencer is making headlines for her popularity as a travel model. Lily Rain’s profile on the subscription social platform Fan view shows the attractive young woman in various stunning locations around the world, but the fact that these photos are entirely the work of artificial intelligence doesn’t seem to bother her legions of fans.
From the instrumentalization of live women, to that of digital ones: Light-eyed, post-teen, petite, specially made for an audience that is increasingly looking for younger, yet perfect women. Even “flaws”, freckles, target a specific audience.
What does its creator say?
“Lily is a prime example of a creator filling a void in the travel influencer space,” Lily’s creator told the Daily Star. “She can create idyllic, picturesque photos without the long travel times and added travel costs – and use the different seasons to engage her audience. Using seasons and modern travel to tailor content and monetize it is big business. Lily can be seen as a Kardashian enjoying her annual ski trip to the best mountain resorts money can buy.”
Human travel models are more popular than their AI competitors like Lily Rain, but in reality they have to work a lot and spend an infinite amount of money. Lily has all the advantages of a beautiful presenter and none of the disadvantages of using crew, planning and organizing, finding sponsors, makeup, stylists and clothing companies to sponsor their products. All those infinite working hours that is.
Of course, if you happen to see the rude treatment and marriage proposals that AI operators face in the comments, this kind of thing seems creepy at best. The human species can bring out its worst self even in a fictional person and that is something to watch out for. Of course the AI operators also created it in a terrifying way to reflect on an audience that would pay for their creation.
