Well, I guess it was inevitable that someone would try to recreate Kizuna Ai with actual AI, even if the technology is only good enough to string mostly-coherent sentences together and is nowhere near passing the Turing test. But why would it get banned from--

I hadn't heard that webcam streamers felt threatened by Vtubers when they became popular; kind of silly, since plenty of them weren't even using cameras to begin with. This seems like even less of a real problem. Nobody's going to watch something (someone?) like this for human interaction, because it doesn't even provide a parasocial illusion of that. It's just a dancing bear--interesting because it's technically possible, not because it's good.

I have no idea how the HG/Big West settlement affects Macross merchandise based on the original series. The contract flat out says HG has no say on stuff based on the sequels but they are recognized as the licensor for stuff involving the original. And with Sony more content to make Z list Spider Man villain movies than move the Robotech/Macross movie forward in any meaningful way, we may be dealing with HG’s usual strategy of “you can’t have this” rather than the logical decision of slapping their logo on the screen and box and collecting a portion of the proceeds in accordance with the settlement.

I became acquainted with the novelizations in the late '80s and was able to eventually acquire the entire series by the early '90s. For the most part I enjoyed the novels; but, I thought that the mysticism towards the end was downright weird.

What do you mean? The biggest Vtubers out there are all about parasocial relationships and GFE. Gachikois are a big market to tap into no matter the medium.

They're talking about the AI Vtuber not having the parasocial relationship because the AI can't actually speak back to you like a real Vtuber might.

Agree that people don't care about AI streamers for parasocial stuff. It's more about the kinds of silly and dumb things they can get them to say. I hung out in a few of Neuro-sama's chats and they can be pretty funny with both her and chat's reaction to stuff with some of the bizarre things she says and does. Plus she likes forsen, that's cool in my book.

For now, yes. But don't stick your head into the sand about the advent of a functional virtual girlfriend. Sometimes dystopian science fiction is god damn accurate and we are very very close to an advent of Ryan Goslings.

Detroit Become Human opened my eyes up to the possibilities of an android GF. I wonder if one day we'll make it a reality.
