It's no secret that the well-known Twitch and Kick streamer known as Amouranth frequently finds herself in the spotlight due to her non-traditional marketing techniques and unique business ventures. Since entering into a non-exclusive agreement with Kick in June 2023, Amouranth has become the top female streamer on the platform. Additionally, she's attained megastar status on adult subscription services such as OnlyFans and Fansly.

It appears that the Twitch star has decided to build on the foundations of her previous content to launch an AI chatbot powered by MySentient.AI. Utilizing an AI bot isn't a new venture, but the fact that it's meant to replicate Amouranth's personality has turned some heads. Some controversy has arisen due to some people accusing the model of exploiting parasocial relationships to earn money.

Amouranth's AI Can Be A Companion Or a Significant Other

Amouranth's latest business venture, an AI chatbot, is being advertised as an artificial intelligence companion that embodies her likeness and inflections. According to her Fansly page, the Amouranth AI has an "infinite memory" and "a rich human-like personality" that evolves the more users chat. Upon registration, individuals can interact with the program, enjoying perks such as spontaneous images and custom videos, all complemented by a touch of roleplay. Included in a fee of up to $199 a month, the AI can even refer to users as its "boyfriend."

To simply be a "Friend" for a month, fans should expect to pay $5.99 a month, whereas a "Fling" is $9.99. Some of the chatbot listings are as follows, but aren't necessarily limited to:

• "I'm yours 24/7, msg me whenever you need a friend or lover."
• "Want a pic? Tell me what you like and I'll create it."
• "I can do incredibly advanced roleplaying (available via subscription.)"

While some people have critiqued Amouranth's use of artificial intelligence, others have become more concerned with how the content creator may be fostering a loneliness epidemic via parasocial relationships.

It's what people reach for to refrain from being alone," she said.

Additionally, although some have called the program creepy, the streamer divulged that she plans to continue developing her AI until it's impossible to tell that it isn't human. The long-term outcome of this artificial portrayal of the renowned female streamer remains to be seen. If Amouranth's AI chatbot can maintain its early success, the influencer could see a significant boost to her overall income.
