So this wasn’t a post actually asking what a small LLM was good for, it was just an opportunity you could use to dump on LLM usage I take it. So this whole thing was made in bad faith?

With the comments about “vibe coding” and such, all it looks like you’re doing here is arguing the “merits” of how it’s being used, and you’re not interested in its actual usage at all.

Nobody is being pissy here except you. Small LLMs can be used for tasks such as this, and it doesn’t have to be twitch - It could be an assistant that you build for reminders in your personal life - using it on twitch is a minor detail that you seem to have latched onto because you just want to dump on LLM usage.

Go to /c/fuck_ai for that.

I gave you an example that it’s good for, and all you want to do is argue the merits of how I’m using it (even though it falls perfectly within Twitches TOS and use cases)

Yes. The small LLM isn’t retrieving data, it’s just understanding context of text enough to know what “Facts” need to be written to a file. I’m using the publicly released Deepseek models from a couple of months ago.

Currently I’ve been using a local AI (a couple different kinds) to first - take the audio from a Twitch stream; so that I have context about the conversation, convert it to text, and then use a second AI; an LLM fed the first AIs translation + twitch chat and store ‘facts’ about specific users so that they can be referenced quickly for a streamer who has ADHD in order to be more personable.

That way, the guy can ask User X how their mothers surgery went. Or he can remember that User K has a birthday coming up. Or remember that User G’s son just got a PS5 for Christmas, and wants a specific game.

It allows him to be more personable because he has issues remembering details about his users. It’s still kind of a big alpha test at the moment, because we don’t know the best way to display the ‘data’, but it functions as an aid.

If JEJ granted voice rights, then that’s peachy. Nobody owes someone else that job. Sounds like JEJ locked it down.

The idea that actors are required to be hired is kind of nonsense. Every industry has had to deal with less people required to produce the same amount of output. At this point, JEJ voice of Darth Vader IS Darth Vader. I can understand the studio wanting to retain that. Replacing voice actors is often jarring for the viewer.

Did they train something on an actors voice, or use the actors voice recordings without contractual permission?

OR:

Did they use an AI voice and some filters to make the character talk without hiring an actor?

Because if it’s the second, who cares? If it’s the first, they should be raked over the coals.
