>>50265435Yah, this.
There's been several AI vtubers over the years, but only Neuro really took off because she has an autisticly obsessive programmer compared to the more casual devs of other projects I've seen.
Someone that actively wants to make bots to allow for games to be played.
Adding contextual awareness via simple image recognition would be the next big step up for her now that she has some emotional awareness and model control.
Nen was really the only other one that was pretty much consistent from what I saw, others fell off. Nen had a few upgrades, but nowhere near as much development as Neuro has.
I assume the success of Neuro will result in a few others figuring, "hey, I could do that" and boom, more competition in the AIchuuba space.
There's already a few devs I know who could probably do just as good, if not a lot better, than Vedal when it comes to the making bots play games department.
However I don't think any of them have any interest in making a vtuber, buuuut you never know, weirder things have happened.
