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.
