AUSTIN TEXAS: Felix Lengyel, popularly known as xQc, is a renowned streamer with an impressive following of almost 12 million on Twitch and 450K on Kick. He is celebrated for creating engaging content, including reaction videos and watch parties for his dedicated fan community. However, xQc's controversial nature often leads him to respond strongly to criticism and backlash.
In recent days, a new development has been making headlines - the emergence of AI xQc. Many fans have observed that AI xQc is garnering increased viewership and becoming more "user-friendly" in terms of understanding. This has sparked discussions within the fan community, questioning whether AI xQc might eventually replace the real xQc.
xQc vs AI xQc
During one of xQc's recent Twitch live streams in the Just Chatting segment, an intriguing moment unfolded when a fan asked a personal question. In response, xQc expressed, "The whole experience is pretty pog." This left fans in awe and wondering whether it was the real xQc or AI xQc who provided the response.
In another conversation with xQc's AI version, when a fan asked, “Can you generate an equation that quantifies the infinite recursive process of generating equations?” AI xQc replied, "Yo, dude, I mean, what? The brainy stuff, like equations and what not, man it’s like you’re trying to smash my brain with a harder juicer, bro! I’m here just to game and spit facts. Math is like PUBG, high risk, high return, sometimes you just die to the blue. No cap! PogChamp.”
The existence of AI xQc became evident as it was found on the bottom of Twitch's homepage, introduced with a carousel stating, "Probably Artificial, Hopefully Intelligent." This subsection of live streamers is dedicated to and powered by AI. AI xQc resembles how xQc talks, looks, and even uses the same lingo as xQc. The key distinction is AI xQc's clearer articulation.
After reviewing the chats between xQc and fans, the channel's origins remain a mystery, as the About section only lists rules and consequences, with no details about the individuals behind AI xQc or the technology involved. According to the Twitch description, it is "not affiliated with xQc, just a fan." Speculations suggest technology like text-to-speech software Play.ht and the ChatGPT4 likely form the foundation of this artificial streamer.
Will AI xQc impact the streamer's future on Kick?
AI xQc has been offline for nearly a week, but its previous livestreams saw impressive numbers, with over 1,500 concurrent viewers and tens of thousands of views. Additionally, it has amassed an impressive following of over 8,000 followers in a short duration. While it's a far cry from the real xQc's massive 12 million follower count, the AI's consistent growth in viewership raises questions about its potential to someday replace the real streamer.
If AI xQc continues to maintain its current momentum, it might not be long before it poses a real challenge to genuine xQc's popularity. Furthermore, speculations arise that if this trend continues, AI xQc might even venture into conquering the streamer's Kick streaming platform. However, no official information about AI xQc's involvement with the Kick platform is available at this time. To find out whether AI xQc will indeed make its mark on the Kick platform or if the situation evolves in unexpected ways, fans will have to stay tuned for further updates.
