> he’s a VTuber, a fully virtual personality powered by artificial intelligence.

I have only a _passing_ familiarity with VTubers (my friend is one) and this is obviously and patently wrong. A VTuber is a YouTuber with a virtual avatar; no more, no less.

The article goes onto correct itself, but it’s a bit disheartening to see obvious misuse of terms in the first sentence…
