In a recent stream on his secondary account, Zack “Asmongold” briefly discussed AI art. In a clip uploaded to the LiveStreamFails subReddit, the streamer seemed interested in creating AI art to make people mad on the internet. This came up while he was answering questions from his chat.

When a user asked Asmongold to generate “fake art” on stream, he didn’t seem to be against the idea. He then talked about taking it a step further and using it as a platform to make people on the internet mad.

Zack said he could do this to “make people f**kin’ mad.” Asmongold didn’t dwell on this topic much, as someone suggested he “make fake e-girls.” He would then latch onto this idea, where he said he could do so and create storylines with these VSHOUJO-esque creations of his.

Others would discuss the legality of such an act. One Redditor thought it
