Episode DEEP DIVE: The AI FIFO worker selling adult content online
Have you ever been unsure if something in your feed was real or AI? Well, you’re not alone – it’s even getting hard for the social media platforms to spot them. We looked into one FIFO influencer, Bindi Raye, who has 85k followers across Instagram and TikTok. She looks like a regular woman sharing her life online – posting pictures of her life at the mine site, at the beach, or at the footy – but she’s actually one of several generative AI accounts pushing their followers to pay-walled AI adult content. In the deep dive this week, host Ali Angeloni is joined by Dan Miller, senior lecturer in psychology at James Cook University, to unpack what these AI influencers are doing to our brains, what they mean for real sex workers, and how we feel about paying someone who isn’t real.
