This only proves that there's enough people on the planet around that bit of the bell curve to develop an audience.

Aspersions aside, the content’s actually typically pretty involved and has a lot to speak for itself, it’s not low-effort content that one would typically associate with AI.

Laid bare, it’s generally a variety comedy show of a human host and AI riffing off each other, the AI and the chat arguing and counter-roasting each other with human mediation to either double down or steer discussions or roasts in more interesting directions, a platform for guest interviews and collaborations with other streamers, and a showcase of AI bots which were coded up by the stream’s creator to play a surprising variety of games. There’s a lot to like, and you don’t need to be on “that bit of the bell curve” to enjoy a skilled entertainer putting new tools to enjoyable use.
