The counterpoint to every video-generated channel on this site: a persistent AI character with voice and avatar — no video generation at all — built one of the biggest subscription bases in Twitch history at a fraction of the running cost. Also a moderation case study: early bans for unfiltered output forced dedicated filtering layers.
