Chloe Khan used AI to rake in an eye-watering £200,000 in just a day.
The star – who found fame when she auditioned for The X Factor in 2010 – already has a modelling and TV career and leads a jet set life. But things sky-rocketed when she came up with the idea of creating an AI clone to help her reach more fans.
Her virtual twin was launched over a year ago, with Chloe telling her followers: “She can send you pics, texts, voice notes and you can CALL HER ON THE PHONE. She’ll even make you custom content if you’re nice to her.
“She’s ultra-realistic and I designed her to be exactly like me. She can remember what you tell her but will keep it all secret.”

She later shared that her clone was helping her boost her bank balance within hours. “I honestly didn’t know what to expect on the launch day, or if people would even understand what an AI companion/friend was!” she said.
“However, every time I checked the site, the money was flying up at a rapid speed. After posting it once on my Instagram story, 18 hours later, I had hit £200,000 in sales.”

However, one person who was a bit “freaked out” by Chloe’s clone was her mum. The star explained that it was to do with how well the clone impersonated her.

She said: “When I ask her questions it’s so freaky how she answers them to the exact word that I would say in real life. My mum was so freaked out by the answers, she said it’s like a stalker, or as if my AI is inside my brain.”
She went on: “When I see the AI images I have to ask myself if I was actually there for the photo shoot, or is it AI – they are just so life-like! She is me and I am her.”
Chloe’s fans were blown away by the likeness when she first gave them a peek of her AI twin. “But this looks exactly the same as your normal pictures,” one person posted on Instagram.

“She looks just like you,” agreed another. Someone else said the clone was “super hot”.
“Totally stunning,” said another, as someone called the brunette “the eighth wonder of the world”. “If you were a work of art I would go every single day to the museum to admire you,” admitted another admirer.
