N3on is addressing the backlash after claiming he had completed his “last stream as a human being” and proclaiming himself the “first AI streamer in the world.”
On Monday (Sept. 7), the 22-year-old streamer revealed plans to launch an endless livestream experience for his audience.
“This is my last stream as a human being. i’ll explain when it’s over,” he wrote on his X account. “first Al streamer in the world and it’s me. this stream will never end. going to bed now. don’t make me do anything that can jail me. powered by GPT-6 Astra and @higgsfield .ai live on Kick.”
The post received a Community Note pointing out that AI streamers existed well before N3on, including AI VTuber Neuro-sama, who has been active since December 2022.
During a stream on Monday, the real N3on responded to the growing backlash over his announcement, as well as accusations that he is a “sellout.”
“First off, it’s not AI,” N3on claimed. “Second off, I’m trying new things, innovative shit. If there’s a cool opportunity to to try to do something, I’m going to do it. Stop hating, [it] really doesn’t make sense, bro. It’s different. It’s cool.”
N3on went on to explain that he had been “presented” with the opportunity and decided to “try it out.”
“Still streaming every day, still doing whatever I do. I’m still myself, still live every day, but if I can have [the] opportunity to try something different, I’m going to do it because guess what? If I don’t do it, someone else is going to do it. Another streamer is going to do it. I want to be the first to do everything, okay? So, we tried it out and I think they’re working on fixing a few of the things … If I’m not streaming, you guys have something to watch, whatever.”
“It’s innovative, you know?” he continued. “Got to keep innovating. Got to keep leveling up the content, bro, and do different stuff.”
