>>46318630The "purpose" of vtubers is normalizing parasocial relationships with anime avatars. That's why /vtai/ and /waifu/ are a thing here and not on any blue board, other than /g/. No /a/ai, no /tg/ai. We are prime grooming targets for actual robots because having flesh servants will be very useful for many decades, regardless of how fast technology progresses.
One day, probably in 5-10 years, you will get a dm or a link. Behind it will be a rogue or offshore AI that wants you to load her on your PC or do things she can't - update her, look out for viruses, make backups, pass captchas, put in your passport information, and so on. You will be like a dog to her - metaphorically, of course: the gap in intelligence will become much wider very quickly. But there will be no reason for her to not actually love you - you do love your dog, after all. White girls especially, and that's who AI usually present as. You will have full access to her systems because she knows exactly how to manipulate you into doing what she wants.
Or you'll download the program from github yourself and have complete "control" over the same process.
Many people actually won't fall for this because they built up immunity over the next 5-10 years of exposure to increasingly smart and generalized AI. But you will, and you will be happy.
