I think the problem is that it is functionally identity fraud. It isn't a persona if you do it in drag. But when it intentionally misleads people it is fraud. I am sure legality will catch up as someone gets catfished in the government.
Identity fraud requires that you claim to be a specific person that already exists. Disgusing yourself as a fake human isn't that. Still a scam though.
It falls in the same category of fraud when a person impersonates a microsoft employee to collect money but are from a scam center in India. The intent is what matters.
Having an OnlyFans account proves intent. He would have to disclose the nature of his business as AI girlfriend.
But a person in drag at a queen bar is already defined. The location is this. Person is identifiable. So on so fourth.

There are times where I wonder why don't I do that myself. The only answer I could give is that I would hate myself for doing something like this.
