   I put out a video that was critical of AI without AI being mentioned in title, thumbnail, or description. And it was dogpiled with pro-AI comments almost instantly.

   This video has almost 2.5X as many comments per view as my most recent "controversial" video, and 4.5 the average.

   I don't want to say that AI bots are being used to astrorturf videos after scraping scripts, but I have a hard time believing this is real based on experience.
