Twitch under fire for labeling VTubers as AI: "It's really insulting" - Dexerto

Twitch has come under fire after a misguided tweet celebrating the achievements of VTubers in 2022 compared the virtual creators to artificial intelligence (AI), with many top talents labeling the wording as "insulting" and ignorant of the medium. VTubing has taken off on Twitch, cracking into the top five tags on the platform in 2022. To show their respect for the virtual medium's growth across the year, they put together a little video highlighting top creators and their work. However the caption attached to the tweet has riled up VTubers, with the platform comparing the real creators behind the avatars to artificial intelligence. "The VTuber tag brought both avatars and viewers together in one great space, with VTubers growing and creating AI like never before," it read.
