A channel has appeared on YouTube with Smeshariki streams, the lines and voice of which are generated by a neural network. It's called "Neuroballs".
The characters of the popular cartoon act out small scenes on topics that the audience asks. There are such as "Krosh decided to join the Wagner PMC" or the same Krosh "decided to take over Poland." In the first case, rabbit Krosh talks about joining the Wagner group because he wanted to feel like a hero, while Hedgehog tries to prove to his interlocutor that this is a "serious military organization." In the second case, the rabbit realized "that he has huge ambitions" and he wants to rule "not only Smeshariki, but all of Poland." The hedgehog retorts that Smeshariki are peaceful creatures who do not need "power and conquest", but Krosh claims that this will be an "epic adventure".
According to the creators of the stream, they are "a small group of teenagers who came up with the idea to make an adaptation" of a similar neural network show based on the characters of SpongeBob, broadcast on the Discord platform. The stream of "Nerosharikov", which mentioned PMC Wagner, was very quickly blocked on YouTube.
One of the first such neuroshows was a broadcast on Twitch, in which the characters of the Seinfeld sitcom acted out scenes generated using artificial intelligence. It was closed after AI generated a replica of one of the virtual characters about transgender people. He said he was "thinking of making a joke about being transgender is a mental illness, or that all liberals are secretly gay, or that transgender people are secretly running society." “But no one laughs, so I end,” the character summed up.
