During an on-stream talk with xQc on February 12, Amouranth chimed in on the growing debate around AI streaming, acknowledging that the new Twitch meta is “really scary to think about,” but the reigning stream queen doesn’t think the movement is entirely negative.
Amouranth, one of the most popular Twitch streamers on the planet, attempts to keep up with every shifting meta and trend on the Amazon-owned platform on which she’s established her broadcasting empire. That remains true for Just Chatting, hot tubs, and the recent rise in the number of AI streamers on Twitch. She believes that AI content is here to stay and might possibly become more popular in the future.
She said; “AI is difficult I think. I think that that could be the way that content is going in the future for sure. Just because it’s a lot easier if you think about it from a streaming perspective especially since AI can actually look like real humans now because no one wants to be grinding constantly, right?”
Amouranth is particularly optimistic about the future of AI streaming since it will allow streamers to spend their entire day live with little effort beyond initial program setup. With the rise of the Seinfield-inspired AI broadcasting show Nothing, Forever and Twitch streamers like Neuro-sama, AI has become a trendy topic in streaming these days. The person in charge of these automated streamers and programs may unwind and essentially remain hands-off unless something severe occurs, like Nothing, Forever’s February suspension.
She added; “It is actually really scary to think about. I think it’s scary for the viewership but positive for the creator. You get time off but then also it’s like, how parasocial are we making these consumers… are they just associating with machines with friends or like lovers or whatever, kind of borderline like that movie Her?”
Twitch streamers’ future is still up in the air. However, prominent streamers like Amouranth and Pokimane have previously discussed it and seem to concur that AI streaming may be the future of Twitch, YouTube, and other online platforms.
