Cherie DeVille Talks AI Clones and Creator Ownership in WIRED Feature
Cherie DeVille steps into the AI debate in a new WIRED feature, “‘She’s Never Going to Age’: Porn Stars Are Embracing AI Clones to Stay Forever Young,” offering a direct take on ownership, revenue and control as artificial intelligence reshapes the creator economy.
The piece places DeVille at the center of a fast-moving conversation around AI-generated likenesses and who benefits from them.
The Core Issue: Who Gets Paid?
DeVille cuts straight to the financial reality behind AI adoption:
“We can either let the makers of AI take the lion’s share of the money in the sex-work space.”
Her position is clear — creators shouldn’t sit back while platforms and tech companies define the rules.
They should own and monetize their own digital identities.
From Risk to Opportunity
Rather than rejecting AI outright, DeVille frames it as a tool creators can use if they control it properly.
“Creators and businesses can get on board and start creating their own revenue sources through AI.”
That shift turns AI from a threat into a potential new income stream, especially for established performers with recognizable brands.
What This Means for Creators
The WIRED feature highlights several key pressure points:
- AI clones and digital doubles
- Ownership of likeness and identity
- New monetization models
- Long-term brand control
For creators, the takeaway is simple:
- If you don’t define your value, someone else will
