I pretend to be OnlyFans models online
We speak to an OnlyFans βchatterβ, who sends explicit messages on behalf of models. Also: how AI helps scientists, and the White Houseβs use of video games in its posts on war.
Behind some OnlyFans models making money from chatting to paying subscribers is the unseen human labour people who pretend to be the models and chat on their behalf. We speak to a woman in the Philippines about her jobs as a βchatterβ.
Also on the programme, scientists using AI to help advance their research. And the White House has been cutting real footage from the war with Iran with clips from video games. We analyse their strategy.
