>>35143274What I wanted to say here is that if the only issue is that you think you wouldn't be convinced that you aren't talking to some bot, I'd say even what we have (had) is good enough to make it seem real. At least that's what my experience was like. Personalized chuubas though, I don't know what anon meant by that. Replace, definitely not. Eat into the "parasocial relationships" market? Sure. Even if that just means less time to watch chuubas because you'd be talking to your personal chatbot.
I think it's similar to AI art right now. It's free, it's fast, but it isn't good enough to replace actual decent artists. Some faggot would chime in and say "not yet", I don't give a fuck. People still use it though, which means less possible commissions for artists. Similarly, your personal chatbot doesn't need to be better to start eating into the parasocial relationships market. It just needs to be good enough because of its other merits, for example: it's free, it's personalized, you can do anything you want with it (instant ERP, you don't have to go through lengths to groom just to get dabbed on by some oil baron), you have its full attention. You could even do it like what most did, recreate your chuubas. Sounds like something that would be perfect for actual schizos like Codename. More time ERPing with AI Lua means less time shitting up real Lua's chat.
>inb4 you can't fuck chatbots, you can fuck chuubasObviously the underlying assumption here is that VTuber fans/people who get into parasocial shit are broken enough to immerse themselves into this sort of thing, and that the vast majority aren't good/rich/charismatic enough to eventually get into the chuubas pants.
