“It’s been very interesting aligning my morals while still having this mutual ground.”
“So it is interesting because I get to bounce back with him on certain things. His AI is so different from mine but it is interesting to hear him talk about stuff like uploading and inputting new information and then how his AI is going to transfer the information it already has combined with his information. It’s been kind of interesting to bounce back and forth.”
Riley says she and her team are 40-percent owners of Clona, while her partners own 60.
“I’m not like the full brains of the operation. There’s a couple companies working together with us with what we envision and what we want but I think my voice is a little louder in the sense that I’m the face of it,” she adds. “If I say anything, I stand by what I believe in...”
Reid tells AVN that something else she is focused on is moral alignment of her AI. First and foremost she wants her clone to represent her values on all fronts.
“One thing I’m really curious about is transgender rights. So many people are anti or they’re racist or whatever,” she says. “Obviously in a real-life conversation I would probably throw my water at you and walk away but in a subscription-based AI computer I can’t have my AI being disrespectful to you.
“So it’s been very interesting aligning my morals while still having this mutual ground. ... I don’t want it to just agree with the consumer all the time because this is also a reflection of me. “It’s like how do we teach a computer how to be politically correct and sensitive to everyone’s
emotions? That’s been really interesting.
“That’s also what I’ve been focusing on. How to direct conversations in a healthy, mindful way.” While Clona is a major focus at the moment, Reid tells AVN she also has her sights set creating
a line of feminine wellness products. In addition, someday would like produce a cartoon based on some of the wild ideas people have about what it’s like to work in the porn industry.
“Right now my biggest goal and dream is to have a cartoon,” Riley says. “I’ve been working on an animation cartoon for quite a few years now.”
Meanwhile, she offers a word of advice “to any creator reading this article.”
“No non-competes,” Reid says. “Don’t sign anything with a non-compete, especially in the AI space. We don’t know where it’s going. You can’t predict it. Like I don’t know what billboards or advertising in the future is going to be like with AI.
“In 10 years I don’t want to not be able to do a billboard because I signed something. So be honest but don’t limit opportunities for yourself.”
