Meet Luo Tianyi. A rising superstar in China, with over 150M people tuning in for its livestream.

No, it’s not a typo, we said “its”; Luo is not a real person. Luo is the first Mandarin-speaking, computer-generated, voice-synthesized pop star. Or, shortly said, vocaloid.

And it looks like http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fcm.wtaff.co%2Ft%2Fj-l-fthhdjy-iytuguttl-ji%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHK1apjC6T1eXueTwAJUXTDMBGvpA. Luo has 5M followers on Weibo. Officially, she’s 15, female, with grey hair and green eyes. Her concerts sell out in minutes.

And if you thought this is already strange, we’ve got some news… Things are about to get even weirder. The people behind Luo and similar vocaloids plan to fuse her with AI, so she can think independently and talk with fans. We’re just waiting for the day that Luo ‘announces’ a tour with Ed Sheeran or Ariana Grande. Or their AI versions...
