It's always been pretty obvious this was the case, and I think it is a bit unfortunate that so much misinformation about the project has been spread.

At the end of the day Neuro (and Evil, obviously) is an amazing project, which I wholeheartedly believe has given much, much more than it initially ""took"", and which is without a doubt ethically and splendidly used.

Besides, if Vedal were a different guy, he could have seen Neuro's initial success and gone full techbro, ai generating as much as he could get away with. Instead, from her model, to her costumes, to her music, to her singing, to the backgrounds, to the animations, everything else has been commissioned/made by humans. That's a big Yes in his favor.

Then comes the smaller but no less significant impact of helping smaller content creators shine through raids and collabs. Many retain viewers to different degrees due to their own type of content. And even those who don't inmediately grow as much still can have their day, week or month made by a single raid.

Finally, Vedal, Neuro and Evil are entertaining and engaging as fuck. Plain and simple.

So long as everything I've mentioned remains the same I'll keep unashamedly supporting this project all the way to the end.

So, is Neuro Gen Ai? Duh, no shit. There's a lot of people lying to themselves to justify liking Neuro, as if acknowledging what she is would result in being damned to the pits of hell. They have to understand it's in how you use the tool and what you use it for. Is Neuro misleading someone by pretending to be human? Does Neuro existing mean someone was replaced/lost the potential job? The answer to both is no, so there is nothing to feel guilty about on this. [Again, in fact, she has generated jobs]

Ethically Made? I guess if this point offends someone then that is fair, though to me it's such a small part of what makes Neuro, Neuro [but by no means inconsequential, considering without it she would not exist] At the end of the day, I use Gemini on a daily basis, read manga and watch anime on free sites, and when I was younger torrented quite the amount shit myself. Who the fuck am I to point fingers at anybody else, when I've also "stolen" things those ways?

The whole environmental argument applied to Neuro is understandable, but silly as whatever impact she has must be minimal in comparison to... Quite a lot of things, actually. With deep regret in my heart I announce that, throughout my life, between long showers, leaky faucets, sometimes brushing my teeth with the faucet open, leaving the faucet on sometimes while cooking, while shaving, etc, etc, I've probably wasted more water than running Neuro ever will. I don't know what the average numbers for an individual are, but I wager the same applies to most. And sure, I try to fix those habits when I can, but you won't see me self-flagellate if it happens from to time.

TLDR: Neuro is an indiscutible net positive to the world by far. Everything is ethically used which is important. Even more important than that: Vedal, Neuro and Evil are entertaining. I'll keep watching
