She doesn’t eat, sleep, or breathe — but she remembers you, responds to you, and never logs off. Meet “Jordan,” the AI-powered digital twin of former British glamour model Katie Price, created by startup OhChat to act out subscribers’ “uncensored dreams.”


OhChat is part of a new frontier merging artificial intelligence, fame, and fantasy. With a subscription model ranging from $4.99 to $29.99 a month, users can chat, receive voice notes, and interact with AI avatars of celebrities like Price and Carmen Electra. The twist? These avatars run 24/7, offering what CEO Nic Young calls “infinite personalized content” — without the creator ever lifting a finger.


For creators, the draw is passive income. For users, it's a taste of virtual intimacy. But experts warn of real-world risks. Emotional dependency, blurred lines between fantasy and reality, and reputational harm from misbehaving bots raise tough ethical questions. Critics argue it's “algorithmic theatre” — an illusion of connection, optimized for engagement and profit.


OhChat says it’s transparent about its AI nature and gives creators full control over content and consent. But as digital twins like Jordan become more lifelike and common, the line between connection and simulation is set to get even blurrier. For better or worse, the future of intimacy is being rewritten — one chat at a time.
