Women sue the men who used their Instagram feed to create AI porn influencers
Three women, including one identified as MG, have filed a lawsuit against three Phoenix men and 50 unnamed individuals for allegedly using their Instagram photos to create AI-generated pornographic content and sell courses on how to replicate the process. The defendants are accused of scraping images from social media, using AI tools like CreatorCore to generate nude or scantily clad images of real women, and profiting from the content on platforms like Fanvue and Whop. The lawsuit alleges the scheme exploited unsuspecting women by creating realistic AI replicas without consent and instructing others to do the same.
- ▪MG, a woman from Scottsdale, Arizona, discovered AI-generated images of herself in explicit content after her Instagram photos were used without consent.
- ▪The lawsuit names Jackson Webb, Lucas Webb, and Beau Schultz as defendants for allegedly creating AI porn influencers and selling courses on how to do so.
- ▪The men are accused of using a software called CreatorCore and an app to remove clothes from images, generating explicit content that earned over $50,000 in one month.
- ▪The course, sold for $24.95 per month on Whop, taught subscribers how to scrape women’s images and create AI-generated influencers based on real people.
- ▪The complaint states that by 2025, CreatorCore had over 8,000 subscribers who produced more than 500,000 AI-generated images and videos.
