It's coming. It's not "twitch" streamers I am really looking forward to replacing but onlyfans streamers. I think society will improve immensely when women lose virtual whoring as a means to earn money. I'm already seeing impacts of virtual whoring among blue-collar workers and business owners earning $500k/yr+. It's impacting all facets of society. The problem is that almost any woman who is actually good looking goes into it, especially because good looks in women is rarely correlated with intelligence and educational prowess, likely because hot women have never needed it their whole life and thus rarely develop it. So a lot of men who like good looking girls are finding all these girls are into online whoring and these women often make more money than the men for 30 minutes of work a day, while the men are busting their asses off. It's fucking up relationship dynamics immensely.

Once virtual whoring can be fully 100% replaced by AI, I think it will help relationships between men and women improve significantly.

I predict we'll start to see this as commonplace in 3-5 years.

I might be wrong here, but as far as I know good looks and intelligence do correlate

Maybe in the beginning but really good looking girls have already learned they have a cheat code by age 15 and stop developing their intellect or wit. The cute bimbo is a meme for a reason.

To some degree yes. And it makes a rudimentary kind of sense because you can have the genetic predisposition to intelligence or good looks but it is still dependent on a physically healthy and nurturing gestation and early life to manifest to the highest degree.

So being good looking is evidence that one of the pre-requisites of high intelligence has already been met (had a healthy environment to thrive). You still have to win the genetic lottery though. And you can still be an uggo and a genius of your genes aren't in your favor beauty wise.

At its absolute best twitch is a simulacrum of a group of friends getting together on a Friday night, ordering a pizza, and playing video games while shooting the shit. Instead it's a bunch of people watching someone play a video game who they most likely will never meet and who most likely won't interact with them unless money changes hands.

By replacing the streamer with an AI you're making the simulacrum more apparent, but are you really changing anything about the nature of a twitch stream?

Wonder if AI streamers become a thing they will sell a sort of copy of the AI you can have on your phone or desktop for the added personal interaction.

Maybe based on twitch subs or some other system

Considering Gatebox was around 6 years ago, that's almost definitely what will happen.

The original Gatebox, if you haven't seen it before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkcKaNqfykg

I think that would break the illusion too much, at least to start. I would expect it to be hyper-responsive on twitter/reddit/discord/etc...

Para-social relationship will alway be cancer, I will never understand why people get so invested into a streamer's life beyond what they provide, a game playthrough. Sure its fun to chat in smaller streams where your questions about the game doesn't get drowned out in a sea of desperate simps thinking they have some kind of bond with inside jokes and whatnot. At the end of the day the streamer switch off his/her pc and wouldn't think nor care about your existence and why should they? to them you're just a name and series of text who dumps money every now and then just so their text doesn't go unnoticed. The whole thing is farcical and the worst are those who willingly becomes mods, gatekeeping and policing subject and speech. fucking pathetic.

I watch literally one stream that's as close to that as possible, it's not on Twitch, and I'm gatekeeping the everliving fuck out of it so it's not found out. Also, fuck Twitch.

The ideal of AI gaming with "friends" will be less like twitch and more like Joi in 2049, but instead of a holographic waifu it's your fat neckbeard friend who is scarily good at roleplaying murderhobos. You don't even need to buy him real pizza.

I've been getting recommended clips from her for a while now. Most of the entertainment value is in watching her fumble regular human interaction in a way that is just coherent enough to keep the idea that she's understanding what's going on but doesn't, get how a human is supposed to feel about it.

There's a very real possibility that it would get less interesting if she got smarter.

It feels like we're at weird meta-stage where AI is emulating AI, or what we expect AI to be like from scifi.

Also, it's all novelty anyway. They're not watching this because it's a good streamer, they're watching this because it's an "AI."

I don't know, her sheer strangeness, and "sense of humour" already elevates her above a significant chunk of boring white bread streamers with cut and paste personalities.

I wouldn't say she's a great streamer, but she's at least middling, has a unique hook, and has managed to remain endearing. That, combined with her ability to work every day without breaks, and the impossibility of irl drama torpedoing her popularity, I wouldn't be surprised if that's enough to carry her for a significant length of time, provided she isn't banned for stumbling too close to forbidden topics again.

It depends because even in full automation there's a few cases where a person doing it without still gets business on quality and skill alone.

That'll happen for streamers, those that can really entertain and engage will always be alright, those that just passively sit there will probably lose to AI.
