So I watched a random minute in her stream and she said 103 words. For upper bounds let's add another 50 words and assume she says an average of 153 words per minute, every minute of her stream. A 3 hour stream would therefore mean she says 27540 words per stream.
Neuro's AI is not as advanced as OpenAI GPT3.5-turbo but let's assume Vedal uses that. OpenAI pricing is done with "tokens" where 750 words cost you 1000 tokens, or 1000 / 750 = 1.3333... tokens per word. A 3 hour stream would therefore cost Vedal 27540 * 1.33333 = 36720 tokens. GPT-3.5-turbo costs $0.002 / 1K tokens so a 3 hour stream would cost 36720/1000 * 0.002 = 0.07344, meaning Vedal would pay $0.07 per 3 hour stream for the AI. (

Neuro uses Azure Ashley (Neural) TTS for her voice. Azure charges $16 for 1M characters. Assuming each word had an average of 4 characters, TTS for a 3 hour stream would cost (16 / 1000000) * 27540 * 4 = 1.76256, or $1.76. (

TLDR: So $0.07 for the AI and $1.76 for the TTS, meaning Vedal would have to pay $1.83 per 3 hour stream.
1 stream every other day or rather 16 streams of 3 hours per month would therefore cost Vedal $29.28, which he could pay with only 12 subs assuming he gets $2.5 per sub. There is really no need to be a numberfag cause Vedal is making easy somewhat passive income. The biggest danger to Neuro is that Vedal gets cancelled, gets death by snu snu'd by Camila or he gets bored of making easy money. He will also (presumably) pay considerably less in the future when he replaces Azure TTS with the homebrew AI TTS he's working on.
