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.

## The facts

- Eight comedians have had jokes copied by AI avatars, according to WIRED.
- Aylen Skye’s Instagram account has about 250,000 followers; Tiffany Sloane has over 375,000.

## Why it matters

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