I think there’s space for artifical company, and I don’t think it’s a bad idea, but I think it best to lead toward getting grounded in reality. We’re social creatures and have a habit of humanizing almost anything.
At least the vtuber is a real person playing a role. Y’know. Currently.
Give it time.
Neuro-sama has entered the chat
We’ve been past that point since at least last year.
TIL. Hadn’t realized we were already there, I’m not a vtuber guy. I retract my statement.
Also, everything sucks
meh, Neuro-sama is probably the most interesting LLM project I’ve seen. The dev, Vedal is just fascinated by AI and likes to try new things. He’s not trying to replace artists or office workers with Neuro. He’s not claiming that Neuro will solve all our problems if you just invest in his company.
Very easy rule to follow, see vtuber, go to another stream
People who watch vtubers are sad, sad people.
I genuinely feel sorry for them.
Save your sympathy or apply it to the rest of people watching normal streamers. They’re no different.
Save your sympathy or apply it to the rest of the people typing stupid comments on Lemmy. They’re no different.
I don’t see how it’s any worse than watching any other streamer. At least they can bow out when they want to retire and not have a bunch of idiots stalking them for the rest of their lives because their real face has been plastered all over the internet (assuming they haven’t been doxxed by some creep). I don’t understand why anyone watches streamers of any sort personally but if it makes people happy why give a shit about it?
