well is she? I recently found her channel and cannot tell whether or not she is an actual AI. I know that she is voiced by someone in Japan but I do not know who created her if she was created or if she is actual an artificial intelligent program instead of some human creating the lines and the jokes that she has. If she is or not can you please give reasons and links to your sources.

her channel:

There was already a topic on this a month or two ago. From what I saw, there seemed little real AI to be going on, but what do I know. There's surprisingly little information to find regarding the technical details of this so-called AI, so I'm going to remain sceptical until they can prove it's an actual AI doing all the work.

I still need to see this YouTuber xD because oh my god she's popular around... everywhere, to say the least, and I'm seeing screenshots of her everywhere.

OT: I think some people said that she is an actual AI xD

From my understanding, Kizuna Ai more or less just takes on the persona of being an A.I. She's just too human to be an A.I. from what's i've seen in her videos. It's like a lot of other youtubers taking on a different persona for their content, Kizuna just has the unique concept of being a virtual girl making content on youtube.

I have been doing some digging around her channel and came across a series of interviews in which she answers questions from a VR company. In the end it does seem that she is fully automated and a full fledged AI from her responses. I wonder how they managed to programme a AI with such a degree of emotional intelligence.

here are the interview videos:(enable subtitles)

I don't know. Im skeptical, but, if it is, then my God am I excited because I may just see virtual waifus before I die.

Lol Nah, Japan might be a technological powerhouse, but you still need a lot of computing power to house an AI. If they did make an AI, Japan surely fucked it up by making her a weeb.

I'm inclined to believe she's just a voice over of MMD, you can find her MMD model pretty easily and ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) content if you look hard enough.

But hey, if she is a real AI, then cool too.

Kizuna Ai is a character, and being an AI is just a joke.
No A.I can speak Japanese like that, and no male with a voice changer can sound like her. It's a voice-actress with motion capture which renders her into the anime character that they made, I'm 100% sure.

One: Kizuna Ai was modeled by TDA. One of the developers of Project Diva
Two: We have technologies to do that. One of it is Facerig possibly Kizuna Ai is just a improved version of it.
Three. What is the point of AI's existing on that site? Bend all peoples will? Get attention? No she is just there to entertain and suck money.
Four. Making a self-learning AI go in Youtube. May one day destroy internet and electronic devices sooner or later.
What to put on signatures?? Well..YES!! Some epic and cool quotes or perhaps some cool pictures. That's it!

Seeing as how she can do real time interaction (video below) I think it is a cartoon animated by an actress using motion capture. BTW, there are no subtitles in linked video. Can native speakers say something about the quality of the interaction?)

MOCAP voice actress (Think RWBY). Damn good one too. Fun to watch. I'd love to see Reina Skully and Steven Suptic get involved and have a special video with this persona cause DAMN that would be hilarious.

Uh guys...she obviously ISN'T an actual AI. The voice alone which doesn't sound anything like a virtual voice (for example Talkaloid) should be proof enough. I'm not completely sure how she works; Theres either a whole company behind her or just a few persons; one being the actual personality and just doing the videos, then getting someone to animate the model in some way. I guess it's the second one since she just genuinely seems like a normal blogger. Who instead of showing her face sells with the whole virtual YouTuber stuff.

She acts too much like an actual human to be an AI. My guess is she's just some woman that's paid to play video games and have fun on the internet. Talk about a dream job.

She's an animated character who is supposed to represent an A.I. So, basically she's a fake A.I with a real Japanese voice actor. This may be disappointing to you, but her videos are extremely cute and funny.

As many said, we're still really far from this level.

Currently human-mimicing "A.I."s are barely passing the Turing-test with typed communication, not even spoken.
Her voice is more dynamic and emotional than even mine, she uses many intonation of the same words; definetly a semi-pro/pro voice actor. Even this can't be accomplised atm with AI (look at Siri or Alexa), and we haven't even touched the matter of sentence construcion.
And dont forget that Siri is no AI, just a freakin huge and sophisticated dicionary.

And the facts:
The movies are created with MMD, which has a built-in support for Kinect for full-body motion capture. MMD captures can and should be adjusted by hand, especially facial animation(kinect can do this too party, but handmade is better) No big deal, no need to draw, just call the right methods, there is an engine for that. Once they're done they can even be reused later.

Sorry to ruin it but not a single bit of AI is under the hood :)

But still, it's really convincing for the brain, it's really humanlike, since everithing in her is human except the visual. Interesing experience to watch.

This video is just an advertisement.

There is a simple and economic way to create 3d animation and voiceover it. And there is some magic stuff you dont understand but want to believe because omg how cool it would be. No magic, sorry. But she's still freakin cool tho.

Or lemme say it otherwise.

Start up your own onw A.I. channel.
Or do it with a KiLA framework. You can even choose. And do it by yourself, not too much work.

Meanwhile AIs are working hard on telling the difference between a carrot and a sausage and trying to find a way out of 2d labirynths and playing GO.
The last one is actually amazing. It's not Superhot with VR set, and not Panora, WorldOfWarships, QuickDraw, BioHazard, Inside, Pokemon, VainGlory, Bokete, LittleNightmares, PUBG, FinalFantasy that she plays, just GO.

At the end of '17 it was a sansation that an actual AI could beat a GO player. Too bad the scientists behind that didnt know that 7 months earlier we already had a general purpose AI who can pretty much play all the games presented to her, has more interesting pesonality than me, and can even sing, joke, express irony and even say say "F*CK YOU".
Dummy programmers..they should've gone to youtube or ask some weebs how its done :D

for now i dont know. you never know if Japan is so advanced that they keep the tech out of public and it does exist but yeah that seems to sci-fi. but for one thing, what about Hatsune Miku, and her voice, it sounds human enough because they got a singer to record for the vocaloid program. Kizuna A.I. being designed by the people behind Hatsune Miku, could answer the question how she speaks like a real person. im no genius, but her being a real A.I. could totally be real, but it can also be fake. only way to find out is to ask or join the cult behind the scenes infiltrate the japan government and find answers,

Not an AI 100%, but the possibility of the voice actor of Kizuna being a man using a voice changer scares me. So let's just stick with her being an AI.

This.

No but sorry to burst the bubble for you kids but you're not getting an AI waifu anytime soon. She's a character written and voiced by a real person, just like any of your 2D waifus.


Of course I know, you must be fun at party :3

we only have weak AI at the moment and that Kizuna AI does not act like a weak AI so there is definitely some human puppeteer behind the scenes

Yo don't take it personal, that second part wasn't directed at you. I just quoted (and referenced) to your post because I found the Artificial Idiot hilarious. Read twice before you feel insulted friend.


Sorry for that, I thought you didn't get the joke and turned up at me, my bad.

Maybe next time you can put your answer before the quote, or note that you are answering the OP, situation like this is pretty awkward.

I'm fairly sure she's animated by a studio and the voice actor records the voice with that anime girl face motion capture program thing.

She's probably a person using motion sensors but there is a chance it's all pre-recorded and programmed to do things according to the environment.

GO is a complex game and we have plenty of AI that play video games flawlessly, I'd be more inclined to believe she's human by her "lack" of playing ability. But it all depends on her programming, we keep making breakthroughs in NLP and IBM even said in a mere 3 to 5 years we may be talking to AI as we would normal people. The "personality" could be learned behavior based on simply communicating with her in basic terms. It's ironic how people are unaware of the variety of AI studies there are and that we aren't just going for AGI with undeniable consciousness. Philosophical question time. What is the difference between a conscious AI and one that isn't,but can fool you into believing it is?
