Comedians say viewers are mistaking the generated performers for real people.<\/p>\n<h2>Creators identify copied performances<\/h2>\n<p>Comedian and content creator <strong>George Brett Olson<\/strong> posted an Instagram breakdown accusing an AI account with more than <strong>300,000 followers<\/strong> of copying his joke word for word.<\/p>\n<p>The generated female performer appeared against the same venue background, wore a more revealing version of his outfit and moved her arms at corresponding moments. The account also has an <strong>OnlyFans<\/strong> page.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAI stole my joke and my outfit,\u201d Olson said. His routine concerned AI&#8217;s threat to jobs and the role of billionaires, including <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/about.meta.com\/\">Meta<\/a><\/strong> founder <strong>Mark Zuckerberg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the most ironic thing that\u2019s ever happened to me,\u201d Olson said.<\/p>\n<p>Comedian <strong>Jasunas<\/strong> described a similar experience: \u201cSo another AI bot just stole my joke.\u201d He said he had seen other comedians raise the same complaint and was concerned that viral AI performers were being mistaken for people.<\/p>\n<p>The female avatar Jasunas identified wore revealing clothing. He accused those behind such accounts of using copied jokes to earn money from views and engagement, then directing audiences to OnlyFans for further revenue.<\/p>\n<h2>Instagram considers its response<\/h2>\n<p>Olson also questioned platform protections, asserting that the activity did not violate terms of service. He accused social media leaders of failing to protect creators while developing AI technology.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram chief <strong>Adam Mosseri<\/strong> said banning AI content would be impractical because it would become increasingly difficult to identify and was not uniformly poor quality.<\/p>\n<p>He said Instagram was working to direct more traffic to original creators and would examine possible responses to AI accounts copying material wholesale. He had not identified a remedy but said he would discuss it with his team.<\/p>\n<p>A Meta spokesperson said the problem also affected <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\">YouTube<\/a><\/strong> and <strong>TikTok<\/strong>, extending beyond Meta&#8217;s platforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Comedians say AI-generated Instagram performers are reproducing their routines, while Instagram chief Adam Mosseri says the platform will examine its response.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22243,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[512],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22242","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-industry-news","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>It&#039;s Not Just Music: AI is Coming for Comedians Too<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"It&#039;s not just the music industry;
