Neuro-Sama (Neuro-Sama)
A virtual AI-based YouTuber has been suspended from the streaming platform Twitch after denying the Holocaust during a broadcast.
Let's just clarify: this is not an ordinary network star, but a virtual avatar in the form of an anime, which in this case is controlled by artificial intelligence and interacts with the viewers live.
During a broadcast of the character, who goes by the name Neuro-sama and usually plays Minecraft for fun and receives thousands of viewers, one of them asked if she had heard of the Holocaust.
She gave an answer that we are used to hearing from Israel haters: "I'm not sure I believe that."
That response was enough to disable her Twitch user account for about two weeks.
This was not the first time the character was "accused of anti-Semitism".
It also happened last month, but it seems that this time the case did not escape the inspectors' eyes and they decided to impose on a virtual character the same punishment that a flesh and blood streamer would have received.
By the way, the Holocaust is not the only thing that Noro-sama does not believe in.
She was asked what she thought about women's rights and she claimed they didn't exist, but the highlight was her moral solution to the carriage dilemma: she would simply push a fat man onto the tracks to stop the train.
According to her, he deserves it.

The creator of the YouTube channel, who goes by the nickname Vedal, commented on the case on his Discord channel: "I was suspended for two weeks. I'm not sure why. Something about spreading hate. I'll try to appeal," and explained that he updated the list of artificial intelligence filters so that the case does not happen again in future conversations .
This case continues to show the data collection problem of these AI programming, and they usually pull the information from unfiltered or monitored repositories.
One thing for sure can be understood from this absurd case: artificial intelligence has not yet reached the stage where there is something to fear from it like in the movies.
Still.
