"Hey everyone... my last drink is.. on the house" I don't care what's going on behind the scenes, this is fantastic

[@Peter_739]

a human could not possibly come up with a eulogy like that

[@TheRiviaWitcher]

Best content on twitch right now by far

[@major_trollum]

man, to whoever voted forsen to be gollum, you guys are legends. him as gollum really is the cherry on the top!

[@Mingepleg]

100%. I was so worried forsen would not be one of the characters after he lost once or twice on other ones. But it was perfect. He is fkin hilarious hahaa

[@zloidooraque0]

yeah i dont know who forsen is but roleplay is epic, i just loose my shit just by thinking of that character =))

[@astilen5647]

Okay, Athene this is your main job now, you will have a giant new audience flooding in in no time, keep it up

[@theprophet2444]

Carlin is bringing the best out of Gandalf!

[@bancai1517]

It works better without any music/ambiance, because during the test of it a few days ago, it was hard to focus on what they where talking about. Their acting is carrying it. But I think the backgrounds was a nice addition that doesnt take away anything.

[@grehsoul]

Should do an ai dnd + chat interaction campaign like this

[@shaan702]

That’s pretty much what’s going on here with Chapelle as the loremaster

[@malomodo]

@@shaan702 I think it would work better to drop the Lord of the Rings story. That way you wouldn't have to worry about the story going off the rails. If someone died you could just vote in another AI and keep going. Chat can help create the story as they go and you could use that react button to give XP. When they level up they could learn a new ability or something. You could AI generate monsters to fight etc. I think the format works well overall, but I think the expectation of following the story is holding it back.

[@CellarPhantom]

I felt my eyes tear up a little bit when Esfand said his last word :'-)

[@coachmcguirk6297]

I'm writing an article called "pioneers of AI entertainment". Unfortunately my boss won't let me include mention to "lord of the cockrings" because it's too obscene for our audience. I know of a couple other publications writing similar stories as well, maybe you can be featured in one that is published online only.

[@Maralm]

You could maybe censor it. Similar to here on KZbin.

[@JazzyFunkaHolic]

Forsen is the perfect Gollum

[@jerryfwimbo]

What makes this great is the AI characters and seeing celebrities and streamers in these roles, not the interaction. The interaction isn't what's cool about this. The interaction isn't what makes this great, it's the AI. I would vote for less interaction. Half of chat wants a good story and the second half just wants to piss off the first half, so just like every "Twitch Plays ____" it all just becomes pointless and the more bored and disheartened chat gets the more they just wanna fuck up the story for lols

[@Nelekets]

This! I get it.. keeping viewers engaged is like a Twitch thing, but I don't think it's needed for this. Just let the AI do their things, and let people watch. It gets derailed by user choice too much, seems to be breaking the flow.

[@MADAOSushi]

This is good but, I understand why we need it. Less people relying on VODs and having an incentive to watch this live to be part of what unfolds. It's not a format that would be smart to change if I were Athene.

[@ali-volcano]

Love the content, I watched all the interviews and LOTCR episodes it's funny af

[@rafaelkresmar3998]

9:30 Soda summing up the entire Meta plot is too genius I don't care if this is AI generated or scripted it's just great entertainment and if it turns out to not be AI generated than I simply respect the hustle Also it's ironic how Esfanomir a jokey sidecharacter added just so Esfand would've a role would become such a MainCharacter in the story

[@theprophet2444]

They have some kind of plot but the AI creates the content out of it. You can try it with chat gpt or bing chat yourself. Tell it to tell a story, give it a bit of direction about what you'd like the story to be and that's it, it will write a story for you. The biggest difference is though, that Athene has different AIs that have been trained in different ways and of course that are allowed to implement swear words where chat gpt would just refuse using them because it was limited by their creators.

[@rafaelkresmar3998]

@@theprophet2444 I know how it's supposed to work but I'm just saying even if his own AI's rumors of him being a scam artist are true it's still great content

[@zloidooraque0]

@@rafaelkresmar3998 so true. a dont give a fuck is it's generated or scripted, it's pure delight anyway. but i bet my ass, it is generated. i recognize ai patterns here. ai is out of the box, human, not that much. literally inhuman stuff.

[@RasElisha]

This is amazing! My heart is still broken over Esfanomir hopefully we´ll meet him one day :-D This stuff is amazing Athene! Just what I needed! :-D

[@bloodhooded]

Forsen keeps nailing it, better than the original Gollum!

[@Orthane]

Esfandomir fought with honor *salute*

[@xaiyeon_xiuzhen]

lfg; during the waiting part, maybe you can share some of the best of from the 24/7 q&a from the previous 24/7; that way more ppl will feel to want to go to the 24/7 to engage with it in hopes to also see it during downtime on the show and your reaction

[@callumlyons7905]

this is just pure gold lmao.

[@famguy292]

Athene is trying to create the next generation of Twitch Plays Pokémon by having random Twitch viewers determine the alignment of AI characters in Lord of the Rings. With enough promotion, that could really be a thing.

[@KunjaBihariKrishna]

This is stagnant until a better effort is made to handle emotional expression. Using a single 11labs voice model is not good enough. You need to multiple models for each character, one for each emotion. Then your prompt/response system needs to use hooks to automatically switch which 11labs model the response gets sent to. Then you stitch the output together, and you will have a much higher quality voice

[@jerryfwimbo]

these ideas about chat having more and more choices are very cool and exciting, but chat is too stupid and is going to fuck it all up I PROMISE

[@ex0stasis72]

I'd like to see that chat's persistent influence has a short memory so that characters don't get so ingrained that they don't change in the future.

[@MrTheOzzan]

This is going WILD! hahaha

[@claireastral4429]

This got me in tears by 7min lol

[@claireastral4429]

You have to get gandalf to ressurect Esfanomir at some point!

[@CellarPhantom]

Just play some fantasy background music. It doesn't have to be controlled by AI. Maybe just one track per location they are at to begin with.

@AtheneWins would love to see the return of the easy mode Broccoli meta in the AI era. Do it for them kids... Sheeeeehs

[@Dominian1]

Dude makes a poll for everything and then just takes the cockrings out of the 24hr stream. That was some quality stuff with Trump as Gimli and Forsen as Gollum. People asked tons of LOTR questions.

[@jerryfwimbo]

chat shouldve never been able to make decisions. theyre just gonna fuck up what is otherwise an incredible thing

[@UchinanchuStyle]

man i hope the ai brings back esfand, i couldnt sign in to twitch fast enough to help vote escape

[@communistwoman]

I thought people saying that they are being unsubscribed from channels was BS. I started chatting to someone today about AI. I brought up Lord of the ****rings and remembered I never finished the story. I look up your channel and walah, unsubscribed. No wonder I haven't been seeing your stuff over the last month. I'm finding this hysterical as much as I am finding it amazing.

[@Pieter_Auper]

Don't do music. Do ambience tied to the background image/location. That will make it more immersive. Our brains are wired to focus on patterns so melodies and rhythms will distract from the dialogue. In movies music is mostly in between dialogue just for that. During dialogue ambience sounds work better. Or at most some vague very long stretched chords. Nothing repetitive is best. If you ask me that is.

[@ali-volcano]

@AtheneWins you need to make the twitch choice at the end of the show so you don't have to regenerate the reset of show based on the votes mid show

[@CRWeaventure]

Gandalf is the GOAT

[@TheMemeRepository]

Waiting with baited breath for Gordon Ramsay Boromir.

[@SimonMedia666]

Golum rulez!

[@-lunte.]

dude i dont get how this has dislikes its so fuckin funny and entertaining

[@Orthane]

I love how this Gandalf is the biggest asshole on the planet, it's so good.

[@NoXion100]

Hey there Athene, I'd never heard of you before I saw a video by Asmongold about the AI you had made of him. Found your channel and content shortly thereafter. I don't know the severity of the accusations that you're a scammer or a cult leader, but I am certainly enjoying this AI content you're making. I look forward to seeing more.

[@st.ashhole4192]

you couldve just said you liked the content

[@snickle1980]

Well to be fair, He's more of a people observer.

[@Maralm]

You can watch the video where Athene addresses all the allegations against him in a react. You can find it on this channel just before all the AI uploads. Explains and gives context to a lot.

[@kuznacbendelejev6924]

honestly Athene might be shadowbanned, thats why this show doesn´t reach many people

[@NileRoan]

Just think. This is going to go down in history as the first ever parody play fully written and performed by multiple AI bots. Could have been something classy. Instead it's Lord of the Cockrings. LOL

[@CantyBloke]

If chat interaction is gonna slow down the flow of the show so much just don't have chat interaction.

[@theprophet2444]

Athene, how about training the AI on your old Paladin ways as the best Paladin in the world? Migh tbe hilarious don't you think? When you're at it, put furious in it too :D

[@Bruno13371]

Amazing

[@ludvigborga5708]

Make middle earth great again!

[@liveisamelody9413]

i realy like this stuff, so pls you all.. like and comment! lets boost the algorithm to help athene!

[@CecilxIndy]

He needs a poll whether or not to stop polling the chat. Just do what you are planning. Twitch chat is aids.

[@zloidooraque0]

how about no

[@MusicIsImmortile]

Legolazzle the best character ever.

[@RandomGuy010]

Too much democracy

[@nickstinger4709]

Athene AI Heroes doesn't spread because of all the homosexuality innuendo. I don't think NSFW per-say is a problem, but the flavor of it.

[@TCuddles]

Also Seinfeld was one of the biggest shows of all time and there are people that have no idea who any of these twitch and KZbin people are so it isn’t relevant to them

[@zen-budai]

please dont stop this

[@zen-budai]

this is the funniest shit I have ever seen

[@bragiodinsen4604]

Forsens voice is clearer today, did you guys improve the voice? Its better but his constant mumbling was quite funny.

[@AlexO-sx6ff]

I really like the show but the reason why it's not popular is that nobody cares about half of those twitch streamers. I don't even know why people watch those streamers in the first place. I wouldn't recommend this show to my worst enemy until there's a more relevant cast on the fellowship of the cockring mission/quest.

[@Cptraktorn]

Well that's because it's on twitch, if they had their way every character would be some boring streamer

[@devinfleenor3188]

I don't know if you read these comments Athene, but I think If people vote for an ethic shift in a character another character should shift good. Also choice votes should have ethic shift consquences. So if chat chooses an action for Gandalf that is an evil choice, it would shift his ethic as well as the story.

[@ex0stasis72]

If the NSFW twist is too much that it is keeping this from going viral, try replacing that with a parody concept of mixing two or more different stories and genres that don't belong together like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars into one story.

[@I.A.W.]

Look a little bit in your past. Your change a lot, maybe just older. But there no chance I believe that your scam people for money. maybe scams that all write ai😁, but not money. Great work btw!

[@TheLeeBC]

Even though there are only two choices you are still coming unprepared. I don't understand why after the audience makes a choice there has to be 30 minutes of downtime. Stay or run shouldn't result in 30 minutes of downtime when its a question you know is coming. I love watching this everyday but it isn't worth tuning into live or watching long form. You are coming to work unprepared even though you know what you have to prepare for. If you had choices with more depth than stay/go, yes/no than you'd have an argument for not being ready. I am pretty sure that was the only story branch that was a choice this episode aswell making it lamer. I would rather get alot more content than choices if the choices can't be improved.

[@jackadam01]

Hi

[@MrDagorad]

Love the show but man you are asking the chat too many questions, you need to figure out things yourself. People will get annoyed by it.

[@BrodyCanuck]

I have to say...this feels kinda scripted, as if the AI is being told what to say

[@claireastral4429]

I'm pretty sure the loremaster has some scripts especially when asking for a vote but the rest I'd be impressed if it was scripted.

[@Cptraktorn]

Well they have to input what the AI knows so it appears even remotely coherent.

[@claireastral4429]

@@Cptraktorn I dont know why so many people care if it's scripted, or parts of its scripted or not. It's funny why does it matter xd

[@st.ashhole4192]

something tells me this isnt as "fake" as it "wasnt" before

[@brainzucka]

started great with the audition but everyone with a brain know that this is now semi scripted. Sad

[@Cptraktorn]

AI isn't magic, just like when you generate AI art you have to tell it what you want so it can actually make something you have to give the chat gpt something to go off.

[@Vartazian360]

Wish it weren't so vulgar.. the AI stuff started out funny with thr interviews and such but the title of this series is just over the top. It seems like you are trying too hard

[@ex0stasis72]

Another thing, you could try to make your content less offensive is to stop with the NFT stuff. There is no public good that can ever be done with NFTs ever and never will be. The only reason why I'm still watching is because no one else is doing this AI content yet. Otherwise, I would stop watching because I don't want to support NFTs.

[@TheMorninGlory23]

NFT's are literally just digital assets, they are the future of a digital world. Those pointless JPEGS are just proof of concept. With NFT's everything digital like games or game-items or meta-verse stuff can be traded on the blockchain.

[@FoxTashikata]

If you're offended by the content, don't watch lol

[@doggermcdog364]

Wahhhh wahhhhh

[@Maralm]

Did you know that Athenes game can be played fully without NFTs and is on the appstore and Google play store? The only reason it has nft technology is so that once people decide to stop playing they can legally sell their progress to another player who would want it. Not to mention the point behind his game is to help support Universal Basic Income programs. Seems like you don't even know what it's about and just decided nft=bad due to what 90% of the internet does with nft

[@lazycouch1]

​@Joshua Pardy people already trade digital assets. Don't need a new bank or some middleman vendor taxing me to trade a crappy 2 cent gun skin in call of duty. Steam makes millions on this type of trading already. The way I see your argument. Is "let's do the same but it costs us more now". I'll change judgment when anybody can show otherwise, but I really doubt it.
