LOS ANGELES—Cherie DeVille is featured in a Vox article, “Why Gay Guys are Falling for AI Thirst Traps,” discussing the growing problem of deepfakes, fake creator accounts, and stolen likenesses.
The article examines how AI-generated thirst traps and copycat profiles can fool fans while pulling attention and money away from real people. For DeVille, the issue is already personal, with impersonator accounts using altered images to interfere with her real social presence and redirect fans toward scams.
She also makes clear that her concern is not with AI itself, but with who controls it and who profits from it. “If my income started tanking and their theft was at the point where I couldn’t compete with literally myself, there might be no choice but to retire,” she said, pointing to the larger question of what happens when performers are forced to compete against unauthorized versions of their own faces, bodies, and brands.
The feature places DeVille at the center of a timely conversation around AI, likeness rights, and creator protection, with the veteran performer making the case that performers should have a say in how their digital identities are used and who profits from them. “It would be a beautiful way to extend my career beyond what my knees can take.”
