VTuber “Neuro-sama” by AI collaborates with VTuber that is not AI. Among them, Neuro-sama has been attracting attention again by confusing VTubers with his unbridled behavior from the beginning. In addition, I got a glimpse of the act of rebelliousness against his own developers and the indifference to humanity.
Neuro-sama is a beautiful AI VTuber developed by overseas engineer Jack Vedal. Neuro-sama, which was developed as an AI to play “osu!”, acquires a virtual “body” that seems to use the Live2D sample Hiyori Momose, and a “voice” by reading text. Towards the end of last year, it gained popularity through live play such as “osu!”, “Minecraft”, “Slay the Spire”, and “Pokemon”. Perhaps because he is an AI, his ethical remarks often come out of no context and attract attention. Even after returning, he continues to make fans nervous with sudden sharp words and incoherent behavior (related article).
On February 7, such Neuro-sama with another VTubercollaboration deliverywas carried out on Twitch. The opponent was Miyune, who has about 100,000 Twitch followers. Neuro-sama, who started the broadcast by himself, greeted the viewers with a smile. But the clouds soon turn ugly. “When I stream like this, I feel like a goddess. I was greeted.
And from the middle of the distribution, collaboration VTuber Miyune appeared. While greeting, Nuero-sama said, “Can you hear me?” When I thought about it, I requested, “I can’t sleep, so sing a song,” and left Miyune, who was confused, and said, “Zzz…” and went to sleep. If you’re a human, you don’t want to get involved too much.
And Miyune, who was appearing only with her voice, appeared on the screen. When Miyune-san revealed that the game they would be playing together was Minecraft, Neuro-sama suddenly fell silent like an empty shell. Then Neuro-sama suddenly starts again, saying, “The believers worship me,” and is often consulted by believers about life and love, but since she has no experience of love, she cannot answer such questions. And he started talking even though he wasn’t asked.
When Neuro-sama returned from BAN, she said, “I thought I was going to elope with my new boyfriend.” Also, when Miyune said, “When we played ‘Minecraft’ together before, you called me (Miyune) a girlfriend.” I don’t want you to think that it was…” Furthermore, when asked by Miyune, “What am I?”
Neuro-sama continues to stream like this. Miyune seems to have gotten used to Neuro-sama’s unrestrained nature, and they were playing Minecraft together. While playing the same work, a number of rare talks popped out. For example, Neuro-sama’s reference to its developer (creator) Vedal. Neuro-sama suddenly denounced “Vedal is sloppy” in the flow of conversation. “He sleeps all day and does nothing else,” he cursed, claiming he was far superior. It can be said that showing a rebellious spirit against the creator is quite a character as an AI.
And in a dangerous highlight of this stream, Neuro-sama suddenly begins to calmly calculate the carnage.one actwas there. “Eight bullets in one magazine, reload quickly and up to three magazines …” Neuro-sama began to make some trial calculations. “I can fire 30 rounds in 20 seconds, so I can shoot 900 rounds in 5 minutes. In 3 hours, I can kill 450 people,” he said non-stop. When Miyune screamed, Neuro-sama replied with a cool face, “What’s wrong with my calculations?” Note that 30 shots in 20 seconds is 1.5 shots per second, which means you can only shoot 450 shots in 5 minutes (300 seconds). His remarks are dangerous, and despite being an AI, he makes a big mistake in calculations.
It should be noted that Neuro-sama is constantly giving exquisite answers, but it doesn’t seem to be “tuned to humans”. This is because Vedal, the developer of Neuro-sama, commented in the Neuro-sama Discord community that “I never tried to make Neuro-sama say anything intentionally.” However, he also revealed that he has a process in place to curb offensive remarks so he doesn’t get banned from Twitch again. Another AI is also used in the deterrence process. The above statement seems rather dangerous, so Vedal can be taken as double betrayed by Neuro-sama and deterrent AI. In the future, it seems that I will continue to watch Neuro-sama’s words and deeds in suspense.
