"By Using High-density Focused Facial Pressure (in Other Words, Face Sitting), I Will Correct The Distortion Of Your Face And The Disturbance Of Your Autonomic Nervous System," Said The Beautician As She Straddled My Face And Performed The Treatment! If She Continued To Work On My Groin Area, My Autonomic Nervous System And Lymphatic System Would Be So Well-balanced That I Would Get A Rock-hard Erection! Then, While Sitting On My Face, She Said, "I'll Also Adjust This For You."

Are We Heading Toward a Future Where AI Replaces VTubers? This is a question I’ve been asked frequently in recent interviews, and my answer remains clear: No, I don't think we are. I don't think AI will be replacing VTubers. Let me explain why. The appeal of VTubers does not lie solely in the technology that powers them. While the tech is undeniably impressive and enhances the viewer experience, the true essence of VTubing is rooted in the human element, the personality, talent, and authenticity of the individual behind the avatar. Fans are drawn to VTubers because they know there is a real person behind the screen, someone they can connect with, empathize with, and support. VTubing is about breaking down barriers, whether it’s age, appearance, or geography, and creating a space where people can connect with the person behind the avatar. It’s about their dreams, their emotions, and their unique story. This is why AI VTubing will never become mainstream. People cannot form the same emotional bond with an AI. They know there is no real person behind the avatar, no dreams to champion, no shared laughter or struggles, no human journey to follow. It’s important to remember that AI, like any technological advancement, is a tool. Its purpose is to enhance and improve our lives, not to replace the human experience. In the context of VTubing, AI could play a supportive role—for example, by enabling real-time translations during streams to make content accessible to a global audience. However, it will never replace the passion, creativity, and humanity of the individuals behind the avatars. At its core, VTubing is about connection, community, and shared experiences. It’s about bringing people together, and that is something only humans can truly achieve. So, what do you think? How do you think AI could help VTubing?
