Rubius Rejects AI Art, Eyes Boxing Ring
Popular streamer discusses creative principles and potential fights.
Internet personality Rubius is making waves for his stance on artificial intelligence in art and his expressed interest in participating in Ibai Llanos’ popular “La Velada del Año” boxing event.
Artistic Integrity Over Automation
While expanding his Madkat brand with custom merchandise like keyboards and apparel, Rubius has firmly stated his preference for human artists. He revealed this when asked about collaborations involving AI-generated content.
“I don’t want anything about [AI]. I want professional artists and hired artists to do everything. If someone introduces me some of [AI], I always tell him in a ‘no’ plan. I don’t want this, I want a real artist to do it.”

Velada del Año Ambitions
Looking ahead to next year’s “La Velada del Año,” Rubius has indicated his willingness to compete, provided the right opponent steps up. He mentioned receiving a message from “the Twitch Chief” after the recent event.
“He wrote to me just after the evening and said: ‘What a pity that you were not a, because I was there… and he sent me a message for Discord telling me how and I told him that if you want next year we fight, although he has the win, huh?”

The streamer believes his potential opponent has an advantage due to “spaghetti arms.” He also expressed enthusiasm for facing other prominent figures.
“If Ibai gets xqc wanting to fight, I sign up. XQC, Mr. Beast or Ibai himself. If any of the three wants to get to the ring with me, here I am, Call Me Baby.”
