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?
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.
