What OnlyFans and Telegram publish about AI in messages, the exact texts and their dates

Two platforms, two opposite postures in writing: one forbids direct integration into its platform, the other documents how to connect an AI assistant to a person's chats.

OnlyFans. In the help-centre print dated 13 September 2026, the only text the desk could read that mentions AI chat is help centre article 213, part of the Community Guidelines, which the Terms of Use count as part of the Terms of Service: "OnlyFans does not offer an internal AI chatbot tool for Creators. OnlyFans does not have a public facing API and Creators may not directly integrate AI chat bots into the OnlyFans platform." The Terms of Use, Acceptable Use Policy and Fan/Creator contract contain no rule on AI chat. The Terms of Use do require AI generated content to be captioned with a signifier such as #ai.

Telegram. The Telegram Business launch post of 31 March 2024, under "Chatbots for Business", states: "Business users can connect Telegram bots that will process and answer messages on their behalf. This allows businesses to seamlessly integrate any existing tools and workflows, or add AI assistants that manage their chats." Clause 5.4 of the Bot Developer Terms then binds any such bot to represent its services truthfully, to state what data it keeps, and never to conceal its activity from the account owner.

The two other platforms this desk covers sit at the two ends. Fansly's terms of 21 July 2026 prohibit "content where artificial intelligence systems directly interact with Users to generate personalized responses, imagery, or experiences without human oversight". MYM's terms of 24 July 2025, clause 5.2.2, state that creators are free to use AI solutions to manage their account, including replies in the messaging, and decline liability towards a user who exchanges with an AI operated by an agency.

Two cautions. The OnlyFans help centre cannot be read from outside the app, so the OnlyFans wording rests on a dated print supplied by a vendor of AI chatting software, which discloses that interest. And none of the four texts describes how a platform detects AI in a conversation, or what it does when it does. The chronology of the OnlyFans wording since 2022 is in the investigation The OnlyFans AI chatbot rule, 2022 to 2026.
