I love this trick from baby boomers. Make things insanely unaffordable and do not raise workers’ wages. Then, complain that young people spend too much money on frivolous activities like eating lunch.

As a voice actor and vtuber/streamer I get asked how I feel about Neuro-Sama due to her being an AI. So I will finally say this: The reason why AI is so detrimental to the arts community is its lack of soul. There is a clear intention behind the wave of AI, and that’s manufacturing efficiency and capitalism, the antithesis of what art was made for. It’s hollow and doesn’t seek to create in an effort to speak humanity in their current era, it seeks to profit. Neuro-sama is not this! Neuro-sama was a passion project by Vedal, one man (turtle) to create something the genre hasn’t seen before. She wasn’t made to replace streamers, or make a quick buck. There is SO much behind the scene work that goes into her, with all ethical practices to allow more creatives like artists and fellow vtubers to contribute and flourish. She’s an amazing display of why humans are a vital part to creation, all while being an AI herself. I think seeing the word AI in any context has scared people, but AI has been in our pockets since 2010 by the name of “ Siri”. It’s all about the why and how AI is used that’s important. I think Neuro is incredible and I can safely say I’m a big fan of what she and vedal have achieved!
