Thought it would be funny to make chatgpt write a description, it actually did a good job:

AI comment bots have increasingly become a nuisance on YouTube Shorts, particularly those operated under seemingly legitimate or verified channels. These bots have garnered attention for their pervasive presence, often exploiting the platform's community for dubious gains. Notable examples of such bots include those under the names Chicken, Pig, Skull, Cookies, Jesus, and Peely. Despite their innocent or even familiar names, these bots are primarily used to manipulate the platform’s subscriber base and sell channels, a practice that violates YouTube's terms of service.

The operation of these bots is highly sophisticated, relying on AI to generate comments that mimic real user engagement. The AI typically scans through existing comments on a video, analyzes popular sentiments, and then generates a similar comment. This technique helps the bots blend in, making them appear like authentic users, which in turn increases their credibility. However, the AI isn’t foolproof. Occasionally, it produces awkward or nonsensical comments that reveal the operation’s artificial nature, but this isn’t enough to deter the casual viewer.

These bots are particularly effective at targeting younger audiences, who may not recognize the signs of a fraudulent account. Gullible children, drawn in by the seemingly genuine interactions, might even end up subscribing to these channels or worse, paying for subscriptions or services that these bots promote. As these channels accumulate subscribers, they become more valuable on the digital black market, where they are sold to third parties, continuing a cycle of deception.

This trend is not just a minor annoyance but a significant issue for the integrity of the YouTube community. It erodes trust between creators and viewers, and many legitimate channels are overshadowed by these fraudulent operations. For the average user, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to discern real engagement from these AI-generated interactions, making it all the more crucial for platforms like YouTube to enhance their detection and prevention measures against such manipulative practices.

YouTube yt comment commenters bots robot AI artificial intelligence comments everywhere YouTube shorts tiktok reels chicken pig skull Jesus cookies spam dead internet theory help me i need views

[Neodx]

If you're wondering, chicken actually commented on this video saying "I see these comments everywhere"
By the way, most comments on this video are people with 2 subscribers saying they aren't bots. Nobody told you that💀😭

[KudaXD]

As someone who ACTUALLY comments under youtube videos, I hate how these channels have ruined the reputation of the verified checkmark. I can no longer go a comment without someone calling me a bot. It's sad.

[兀]

I hate chicken because he makes ME look like a bot, even though I'm not. I've also heard that he recently scammed a streamer.

[ineedideasforausername]

1:57 and I also saw Chicken say he was from Canada and another time he said he was from India lmao.

[howdoistopchangingmyname]

Bot comments: bad

Verified bot comments: worse

Inappropriate profile comments: also worse than bot comments

Inappropriate profile + verified: choas

[ZeyMighty]

I have a whole channel dedicated to make fun of these “bots”. At one point, we saw a verified bot give an error message in a comment 😭🙏

[luvxxlils]

I'm generally a human commenter, I usually hate these verified bot commenters, even though these channels may seem probably hijacked, or bought.

[damiancho]

Someone claimed to have seen one of the bots comment “As an AI language model…” 😭😭

[aidenjamesytmusicofficial]

it’s sad how the check marks have been ruined

[ٴۥٴ]

I hate bots, especially the "do you want to play gacha with me" and the UTTPs

[crowhaze]

dude that one jesus bot once said "love from romania" and "love from india" IN THE SAME COMMENT

[rvft]

This is a very well made video. Bro could've been a detective, but he choose to spit truth

[bradentown]

i was calling chicken and stuff a bot, and people kept saying it was a team of people… i hate how some people still think it’s a real person.

[widhskxnkanpl]

You can also see most of these bots on music videos with lots of views, begging for likes, always starting their comments with "it's [insert month here] 2024, let's see how many people are listening"

[TheDpolygon]

we should comment random things to confuse the bots

[Beautiful_man-kz]

I remember one of these bots being a groomer saying "14 is very mature" Like wtf dude

[Tcent-efmg]

It’s so annoying when you say that they’re bots, and everyone attacks you and says “it’s a team of people”

[xclsvity]

DUDE THATS WHAT IVE BEEN TRYNA TELL EVERYONE THAT THEYRE ALL BOTS BRO THEY DONT EVEN LISTEN TO ME THEY THINK THEYRE REAL THEY MADE ME THINK THAT PI IS ALSO A BOT IM SICK OF THOSE BOTS

[Somerandomaxolotl-gq]

[bandy_coolex]
