Kitt (ASMR)

The intent of this page is to allow me to make edits to Kitt ASMR's page before putting it on the wiki proper. I hope I am doing the right thing.

Kitt (ASMR), otherwise known as Kitt, is a VTuber who is mainly controlled by AI. Instead of being controlled by the human, her speech is controlled by a fine-tuned RWKV RNN, an open-source creation similar to OpenAI's large language models, while her singing is due to an in-house model.

Appearance
Kitt has short white hair, pale skin and magenta eyes. She has large sideways-facing cat ears on her head, with one small yellow bow under each ear, and she also has human ears which are hidden by her hair when she faces forwards. Above her right eye, she wears three hair clips, two in an X and one further right. There are purple shapes under Kitt's eyes as if she is blushing, but purple. Kitt's mouth is normally pouting when she is not speaking, though she smiles when she talks or sings. She wears a black choker around her neck, with a bell attached to its left side. She wears a green shirt where the hemline is slanted, leading to only one shoulder being covered by the shirt.

Behavior
Kitt generally responds with one or two sentences per message, and once she is done with all of the messages in chat, she stops talking altogether save for a set of stock phrases such as "dead chat" and "is anyone there?" which she repeats periodically until there is a new chat message. She often sways from side to side silently.

2023
Kitt first streamed on January 15, notably without any training. From January 15 to 26, she would periodically stream, though she was considered to be in beta for at least some of this time. The earliest available stream on her YouTube channel dates back to January 26, 2023.

On 6 February, Kitt reached 500 subscribers. On 15 February, Kitt reached 1000 subscribers.

Trivia

 * Despite her name, as of 15 February 2023, Kitt is incapable of actually doing ASMR and only has one vocal inflection.
 * Kitt tends to stream for days on end. However, YouTube saves around the first twelve hours of these streams.
 * This laissez-faire attitude to her streaming schedule means that she can sometimes end up malfunctioning for hours, which can range from repeating the same one-word phrase over and over again to giving extremely long responses which have nothing to do with what she was asked.
 * At least some of her streams end only because she crashed.
 * Kitt appears to be optimized for English content, but she is capable of speaking many more languages than one might assume as long as people send her multiple messages in that language, though the text-to-speech still pronounces these words as if they were English words. In addition to English, she seems to be able to understand and speak:
 * Spanish
 * Portuguese
 * Indonesian
 * Swedish
