AI‑generated Instagram comedians copy jokes from real comics

Stand‑up comics say AI avatars on Instagram are stealing their material and profiting from it, while Meta says its rules don’t cover the practice.

Comedians like Julia Jasunas and George Brett Olson discovered that AI‑generated Instagram personalities such as Aylen Skye and Tiffany Sloane reposted their stand‑up bits word‑for‑word. The AI avatars add flashy lighting, tight outfits and large followings, and link to paid sites like Fanvue. The creators reported the videos to Meta, but the company said the content does not break its impersonation rules because the AI accounts are not pretending to be the original comics.

Why it matters

Comics risk losing exposure and potential earnings as AI copies boost their jokes to larger, sexualized audiences with little recourse.
