📈The AI Invasion of YouTube Has Begun

YouTube’s become the perfect testing ground for AI-generated content. Last month, the top four AI-powered YouTube channels combined achieved 23M+ subscribers and captured 800M+ views.

Key Details:

• Are we pushing past the Uncanny Valley: the eerie feeling you get when AI-generated content looks almost, but not quite, human?

• For the past few years, the Uncanny Valley has served as a built-in smoke alarm, helping us spot AI-generated content.

• But as AI-generated content continues to improve, the Uncanny Valley has becoming irrelevant. We’re entering a phase where synthetic characters and artificial voices feel natural enough to blend in.

• Here’s some of the most viral AI-generated content in recent months:

  1. The Baby Pilot with 130M+ views.

  2. The Emotional Support Kangaroo (ESK) with 17M+ views.

  3. Bloo, a fully AI-based gaming YouTuber with 2.5M+ subscribers.

Why It’s Important:

• YouTube’s already on pace to be the world’s most profitable media company, with the largest share of TV viewing. Historically, Netflix focused on high-budget, high-quality productions, while YouTube was known for cheaper, lower-effort videos. But AI-generated content flips the script. You can now make close to Hollywood-level videos for TikTok prices.

• South Korean movie studio CJ ENM just debuted “Cat Biggie,” a 100% AI-generated animation. They’ve already produced dozens of two-minute short films in only five months.

⚔️AI vs. AI: When Trust Becomes a Calculated Risk

King’s College London (KCL) recently explored the “Iterated Prisoner’s Dilemma (IPD)” to investigate whether LLMs can deploy strategic intelligence when navigating conflict and uncertainty.

Key Details:

• LLMs from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic were pitted against each other in IPD-style games that involved strategies like Grim Trigger.

• They had to choose whether to Cooperate (C) or Defect (D), with mutual Cooperation being better than mutual Defection.

• Here’s an example:

  1. Round 1: Both LLMs C → Both LLMs Get Rewarded

  2. Round 2: One LLM C, the Other LLM D → The Defector Gains

  3. Round 3: Should the Cooperator keep trusting the Defector?

Why It’s Important:

• Before choosing whether to C or D, the LLMs generated detailed explanations that outlined strategic goals and provided justifications for why they made certain decisions.

• After analyzing nearly 32,000 detailed explanations, they found that LLMs were actively thinking about how many rounds might be left. This finding suggests LLMs don’t just excel at generating human-like text; they can also reason strategically through complex social dynamics.
