   Vtubers are real people with 3d or 2d anime avatars. 3D animation is basically pupptery, and is the same as Pixar movies, except now with with vtubers or virtual instagrammers, or KDA, instead of OG manually animating key frames in a 3D software, with some frames interpolated by the computer, (compared to traditional animation where every single frame of video had to be drawn by hand)-now you can physically control 3D puppets, and it’s also being used a lot in the video game industry recently as well- the only unique thing is instead of a collaberative acting of the animator, who is like a puppet master, and the voice actor, one person can be both. None of these are AI, not even the Vtuber Kizuna Ai is AI.(It’s a pun, Ai is a common girl’s name in Japan that also means Love, and her character concept is that she is an AI, but that’s like Elsa is the Queen of Arendelle) Hatsune Miku’s voicebank and the vocaloid software is free for anyone to use who pays for it. These days, when you normally record a song, typically you might record multiple takes of the same lines to choose the best possible option from each to take to create the best song. If you don’t want to play a real piano you can program midi notes into a daw to play any instrument that you have a database for- a vocaloid voicebank is basically that combined with a text-to-speech dictionary and samples of every syllable in a particular language- that’s not Artificial intelligence. Miku is the character that represents the voicebank, like the Geico Gecko represents Geico, or Ronald Mcdonald represents McDonalds.

   It’s just there to sell the product using character appeal. Artificial Intelligence is code that over iterative processes *learns* to do something. The only code involved with Hatsune Miku is the code that was used to make the 3D animation software for her dances, and the pitch-shifting/time-stretching algorithm that allows the samples to be changed in time and frequency without distorting it. Just to create Miku singing had a team of real *people*- linguists, programmers, mathematicians, artists, and her voice-actress, Saki Fujita. Additionally, every song is made by a real person, and her *live* concerts always future real people playing the instrumental part of the music. The advantage of Vocaloid music is that since almost everyone in her fanbase realize that she is actually just voice samples, composers get more recognition for their music rather than them being never mentioned at all. Even when videos/songs are reposted on line for the purpose of translation, or when a song is covered, the composers of the music, be they a group or individual are recognized, as compared to modern western pop, where the singer may not even write the lyrics, and certainly not the instrumental part of the music.

   There are so many things wrong with this analysis that I don’t know where to start.
   5:05 “And I for one welcome our new AI overlords.”
   This is not AI. there’s a real person behind all these characters. People have been hiding their true identities from the public for a very long time. Going back to when authors used pen names to disguise their gender. Also Milly Vanilly comes to mind. Then you have your fake profile photos and so on. This is nothing but the new high tech version of hiding your looks.

   Good video!
   Just want to bring this up even though it’s a bit unrelated, but there’s currently a lot of commotion around the BTS for Kizuna Ai. Her OG seiyuu has been sidelined to more music production while she’s being slowly replaced by “Kizuna Ai clones” within her own channel. The OG voice actress was also dropping subtle cries for help in her personal twitter. A seemingly inevitable case of shitty corporate management ruining something good.

   “Lil Miquela” is not a “VTuber” and doesn’t look like an anime girl. And she’s uglier.

   Also she is SJW/Politically correct/”woke” trash.
