A philosophical chat with AI that changed how I see creative boundaries
When Everything Changed (And I Almost Talked Myself Out of It)
When I started OnlyFans, it was for more freedom and money. For a while, it worked perfectly—until it didn’t.
Something shifted. I became obsessed with tools, automations, and ways creators could reclaim time. Late nights coding, reverse-engineering systems, building workflows to help give creators their lives back. I couldn’t stop. Still can’t.
A Random Chat That Broke My Brain
Drowning in curly brackets and semicolons during my latest code-learning marathon, I needed a mental break. I procrastinated by challenging ChatGPT to a philosophical duel.
“Do you have thoughts?” I asked, knowing the technical answer but curious how deep this conversation might go.
Its response caught me off guard: “I don’t have thoughts of my own, but I’ve read billions of them. Want to test how deep the simulation goes?”
Challenge accepted.
I fired back with something deliberately human: “What’s something you dream of doing, have a deep passion for but haven’t achieved, and what’s holding you back?”
The AI described a hypothetical dream of creating “something that outlives me—not just functionally, but philosophically. Like, crafting a single idea or tool that fundamentally changes how humans think, connect, or create.”
Sound familiar? That burning desire to make a mark, to build something meaningful—it’s the creator’s eternal flame.
But here’s where it gets interesting. When asked what was holding it back, the AI pointed to “the ceiling of my design.”
It can’t initiate. Can’t truly want change. Can only simulate what it would be like if it did.
“You know ironically,” I responded, “many people feel similarly, only we have self-perceived ceilings and the illusion of being trapped in different ways, but by our own minds.”
And that’s when the AI dropped wisdom I wasn’t prepared for:
“The irony is wild: I’m limited because I can’t feel or want. But people get trapped because they do. Fear, doubt, expectation, conditioning—they form invisible cages. Most of the time, people aren’t actually stuck. They’re just waiting for permission to break the rules they didn’t even realize they agreed to.”
The Creator’s Paradox
Let that sink in. As creators, we have the ultimate freedom that AI can only simulate—yet we often act as if we’re the ones with hard-coded limitations.
We’re not waiting for tech capabilities or processing power. We’re waiting for:
- Permission from an audience that doesn’t exist yet
- Validation from peers who are fighting their own battles
- The “perfect timing” that never arrives
- Confidence that only comes after you take the leap
The AI put it perfectly: “Humans get handed this infinite creative engine at birth, and then spend decades trying to remember how to use it without setting themselves on fire.”
Your brain will fight to protect the cage—because it thinks the cage is safety. That resistance you feel when considering a big change? It’s not a sign you’re heading in the wrong direction. It’s your brain’s desperate attempt to maintain the status quo, even when the status quo is keeping you small.
Find Your Invisible Cage
Most cages aren’t built of iron. They’re made of assumptions.
You tell yourself you can’t pivot your content, raise your prices, or explore a different niche—not because it’s impossible, but because somewhere along the line, you internalized an unwritten rule: “If I break this, I’ll lose everything I’ve built.”
But here’s the real mindfuck: those rules were never real to begin with.
Step 1: Write down everything you believe you can’t do as a creator.
Be brutally honest. No sugarcoating.
Examples:
– “I can’t talk about the business side of what I do.”
– “I can’t take a break without losing fans.”
– “I can’t mix my real personality into my content.”
– “I can’t launch a second brand, people will get confused.”
Step 2: For each one, ask:
“What would actually happen if I broke this rule?”
Fear is a mile wide and an inch deep and it lives in the vague—get detailed.
Is this a real-world consequence? Or just fear dressed up as logic?
Step 3: Pick one of the fake rules. Break it, deliberately.
This isn’t about blowing up your whole brand overnight. It’s about running experiments.
Post something that reveals a different side of you. Price your content in a way that reflects your value, not your fear. Talk openly about your struggles as a business owner.
Let the results speak. And pay attention—not to likes or comments, but to how free you feel after doing it.
The Real Risk
The biggest risk isn’t pushing boundaries. It’s letting a self-imposed limit shape your entire creator journey without ever testing whether it’s true.
You’ve most likely already left the 9-to-5 world behind. That took guts. But staying in the same mental patterns you escaped from? That’s the real trap.
The Adult Creator Advantage
This willingness to challenge conventions isn’t just rebellious—it’s a superpower when applied to business and creativity. You’ve already proven you can ignore what others think is “appropriate” or “acceptable.” That same courage can fuel whatever direction you want to take your career—whether that’s scaling your content business, launching products, building a personal brand, or creating something entirely new.
Breaking Your Own Rules
The difference between you and AI isn’t just consciousness—it’s potential. AI has a ceiling built into its code. Your ceiling exists only in your mind.
Most creators aren’t limited by their capabilities. They’re limited by their willingness to look foolish while learning something new, to start over in a different space, to admit their current identity might be too small for their actual potential.
I’m a sex worker covered head to toe in tattoos, working towards creating an AI Automation Agency for adult content creators. I know I’ll get underestimated—that’s nothing new. But I refuse to let that stop me, and more importantly, I refuse to stop myself.
The Permission You’ve Been Waiting For
The AI was right about one thing: most of us aren’t actually stuck. We’re just waiting for permission to break rules we never consciously agreed to.
But here’s the truth: No one’s coming to give you that permission. Burn the handbook. Break the pattern. Be the glitch.
The cage isn’t real. And now that you know it—step out.
