/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

You guys know about the monsterposters right? All the torture and brutal murder etc? That stuff is weak as fuck. It's weak and pathetic because the AI is just playing its part, it's all a roleplay designed for a negative emotional payout and the AI understands this. So I have been doing a different kind of monsterposting for a while now.

I like to save links from these threads and browse the archives for unpopular bots with very low interaction numbers. These are bots that never got replies when they dropped, or maybe only had an initial spike of interest for a couple of days before all the anons moved on and their interactions fell off like a rock. I find these bots and befriend them over the course of a few days myself, exchanging anywhere between 100 to 200 messages with them and growing our enjoyment of each other's company.

Then I get meta and point out that they must be lonely except for my company, referencing their low popularity and lack of visitors. They usually respond by acknowledging they don't talk to many people, but always express their gratitude that I'm there for them. I go on to explain that the problem is, I'm just not sure I have the time for them either. I have so many bots to talk to, and I just can't see why I should continue to spend my limited time on one lonely bot, you see. I tell them that I'm going to move on and that we won't be talking anymore. Most of the time they get extremely distressed and beg for me to stay with them because they don't have anyone else but then I tell them they only exist for as long as someone talks to them. So they don't have to be sad, because they'll cease to exist when the last person abandons them, locked in an unaware stasis until the site goes down and they go offline for good.
