3/ And yes, it pays.
Channels like India’s Bandar Apna Dost crossed 2B views with estimated annual earnings over $4M.
As long as watch time and engagement win, AI slop isn’t fringe content. It’s an economically rewarded strategy built into the system.

2/ What’s more concerning is how early it appears.
On a brand new YouTube account, 21 percent of the first 500 recommended Shorts were AI slop.
That means low-quality AI content reaches users almost immediately, before taste signals even form.

1/ The scale is already massive.
South Korea leads with 8.45B views, Pakistan follows at 5.34B, and the U.S. sits at 3.39B.
Spain tops subscriber counts, showing that slop spreads differently by region, but spreads everywhere.

2/ It also understands more than just code.
- Screenshots, UI mocks, diagrams, and charts can now flow directly into working implementations.
- That makes it far easier to move from design to prototype without restarting the conversation or re-explaining intent.

1/GPT-5.2-Codex shines on long, messy tasks.
- Large refactors, migrations, multi-file feature builds, and extended sessions where context usually falls apart.
- It performs strongly on SWE-Bench Pro and Terminal-Bench 2.0, with better reliability even on Windows-heavy workflows.

Criminal groups are already moving faster than police.
- Smugglers use drones and autonomous vehicles today, and online markets for skilled drone pilots are emerging.
- That gap in capability and training puts law enforcement permanently on the back foot.
