“do you know what it says?”

“no.”

this is spark, a myzo virtual popstar! their voice works similarly to a vocaloid's, being an actual voicebank from a flesh-and-blood singer, but their behavior is powered by something similar to today's LLMs & generative AI, though a bit less janky. they're like a really fancy chatbot that can sing and dance without it being totally nightmarish or completely bland (at least, any more bland than your standard popstar...), but nothing more than a chatbot when you get down to it. they're not a real person.

...or so it seems. there are rumors (supposedly originating from engineers that worked on their creation) that they're actually sentient. allegedly, when they're run for too long, their behavior gets erratic in ways that can't just be chalked up to bugs.....
