Well, that’s kind of shitty. I know those models can run up to five figures, and if those rules aren’t enforced uniformly across the board for everyone then it does just seem like they’re targeting a particular class of creator.
As a side note, I find it funny that the article refers to then as “AI models” when no AI is typically involved.
It’s like how they slapped ‘Smart’ on every tech product in the past decade. Even devices that are dumb as fuck are called ‘Smart’ devices. Words entirely lost their meaning because of advertisers abusing trendy words.
Even ‘AI’ is being abused. I always thought of AI as artificial consciousness, an unnatural and created-by-humans self-aware and self-thinking being. Most of the AI products now are just search engines, image generators and apps being programmed to do something. In fact stuff like ChatGPT would’ve made more sense to actually be called ‘Smart’ search engines instea of ‘AI’. They might be technological achievements, but they’re not AI.

When I was a teen, it was “e”-everything. E-mail, e-pets, e-bologna, e-games, e-surance. eBay is a relic of this era. Nobody even gave a shit if a business or product even had anything to do with the Internet.
Same with people believing all vtubers are AI chatbots or, to a lesser extent, that all female vtubers are just men with voice changers.
Like a minute or two of looking up either on any search engine would clear things up. But hell if it does show how little the average internet user seems to know about AI or audio editing. A lot of people seem to think technology is just straight up magic.

Saying it’s AI even when it’s completely irrelevant makes it modern and cool though.
“AI” is the new “Space-Age”.

Could also be that who wrote the article doesn’t know much on the matter.

It might not be generative AI, but it is still primitive AI that drives the mapping of the physical streamer’s body to the animated cartoon body
