Neuro-sama is a virtual streamer who plays Minecraft and rhythm game Osu! on tweet. However, unlike most similar anime avatars, it is not controlled by a person, but by artificial intelligence. And this attracts viewers to her streams who try to provoke her, both with innocent questions and outright trolling. Naturally, at some point she was asked what she thought regarding the Holocaust, to which she replied: “I’m not sure I believe in it.”
This is just one of many controversial AI responses to such complex topics. Neuro-sama also said in the past that women’s rights don’t exist. And to the well-known riddle regarding the tram on the tracks, she said that you need to leave the fat man.
This vtuber who is entirely artificial intelligence is going very well as you can all see ???? pic.twitter.com/Yu8gqWJOip

However, despite all the trolling, Neuro-sama is an impressive simulacrum of a twitch streamer. So streamers should start thinking regarding acquiring practical skills, because in a few years they may be replaced by much more flexible and believable AI.
As for the answers regarding the Holocaust and women’s rights, the developer of the AI streamer, the programmer under the nickname Vedal, explained in a conversation with my citythat the system is far from ideal, he tries to set up filters and train AI to avoid negative predispositions. There is also a team of chat moderators to choose what to reply to.
According to the developer, she will no longer talk regarding the Holocaust. Instead now she’s trying learn to sing.
