Virtual Youtubers? AI or...?

[Watamote]

Lately I've been really invested in virtual youtubers. I believe they're actors using motion capture and a program like MMD for their 3D models.

Kizuna Ai is the most well known so far.

Watching her play games is pretty painful, though. I want to take over sometimes because her reaction time is extremely slow.

My favorite so far is Nekomiya Hinata, who is quite the opposite skill wise:

EDIT:

Video embed tags don't seem to work. ;-;

Yes, the "AI" is completely fake.
If we had AI advanced like that, it wouldn't be some YouTube channels that would be hogging it and its exposure.
