“They don’t have much to live for anyway… when they grow up, everything’s going to be AI. Everything they learn will be on ChatGPT. There is no future,” he said during the livestream.

Initially, Nmplol refused to back down from his statements – even doubling down on his position when viewers expressed their shock at his comments.
He changed course hours later.
Following the widespread criticism, the streamer eventually issued an apology on Twitter. “Sorry guys joke went too far,” he wrote. “I wasn’t fully aware of the situation. It’s tragic what’s happened. I’ll be more mindful going forward. Hope everyone stays safe and dry in Texas. ❤️❤️”
