Named "Woman Shot AI," the channel racked up more than 175,000 views since starting on June 20, 2025, the outlet's investigation found. After *404* sent YouTube a request for comment, the channel was finally taken down. It left behind a grisly legacy. The veritable snuff film hub uploaded 27 videos and gained a following of nearly 1,200 subscribers — a small but alarming following, as you'll see later. The videos all adhered to a general formula, according to *404*: a photo-realistic depiction of a woman begging for her life while she was being held at gunpoint by a man who loomed over her in the foreground. Some showed video game characters, like a clip titled "Lara Croft Shot in Breast - AI Compilations." Others focused on "Captured Girls" or "Japanese Schoolgirls." One even showed Russian soldiers gunning down crying Ukrainian women with flags on their chest. At least one video was labeled "extreme" by its creator: it showed the "Street Fighter" video game character Mai Shiranui's head exploding after being shot, which was clearly visible in the thumbnail, according to a *404* screenshot. The content was apparently in demand. *404* found that the channel owner posted polls asking subscribers to vote on the "victims in the next video," floating options like "Japanese/Chinese," and using the N-word. AI slop has become a persistent problem on social media platforms, [especially YouTube](), where monetizing your content is straightforward and where there's few limitations on the format of video you can post. Everything from bite-sized clips to hours-long playlists are fair game. Lengthy music playlists made of AI-generated songs and advertised with "epic"-looking AI art have become so prevalent that human creators are trying to stick out by [putting "No AI" front and center in their video titles](). Equally pernicious is the rise of "[boring history]()" and "[sleepy]()" [informational videos](), which aim to gently lull their listeners to sleep with ostensibly educational content before they can realize that what they're watching is complete nonsense. (Many of these are also hours in length, uploaded with unbelievable frequency.) It's striking, though, to see AI slop this luridly graphic. As distasteful as we might find AI-generated content, it's not necessarily spam or against the rules. But there's no gray area with a channel called "Woman Shot AI," which seems to be powered by some combination of extreme misogyny and disturbing fetishes. YouTube took down the channel for violating its Terms of Service, a spokesperson told *404*. And as it turned out, according to the spokesperson, it was specifically for running the channel after a previous ban. The channel was also a nose-to-tail Google operation. In addition to being hosted on the tech giant's YouTube, watermarks show that all the videos were made with Veo 3, Google's new text-to-video AI tool known for [its ability to generate convincing audio](), including dialogue. Using the tool, however, was apparently burning a hole in the "Woman Shot AI" owner's wallet. "The AI I use is paid, per account I have to spend around 300 dollars per month, even though 1 account can only generate 8-second videos 3 times," the owner complained in a public community post on YouTube. To circumvent video generation limits, the owner said he'd made ten different Veo accounts. "I have to spend quite a lot of money just to have fun," they wrote. The fact that the owner got away with generating so many of these graphic videos reflects horribly on Veo's safeguards, which should've prevented this stuff from being made. But, like virtually all generative AI tools, the tech [frequently defies its own guardrails](), and clever users can easily sidestep them with tricks as simple as [inserting typos into their prompt](). "Our Gen AI tools are built to follow the prompts a user provides," a Google spokesperson told *404*. "We have clear policies around their use that we work to enforce, and the tools continually get better at reflecting these policies." **More on AI:** [*Racists Are Using AI to Spread Diabolical Anti-Immigrant Slop*]() ## Author At Futurism, my work has often centered on bringing a sense of clarity and insight to complex topics ranging from the regulation of emerging technologies to the esoteric ideologies of Silicon Valley executives, while striving not to lose the poetic sense of awe inspired by often-obscure fields like astrophysics and quantum computing. I broke the story of CNET using AI to produce articles that turned out to be riddled with factual errors and plagiarism — a dam-breaking inflection point, as I've reported, that's inspired copycats and endless discourse while beguiling stakeholders ranging from tech giants to purveyors of spam around the web. My work at Futurism has been cited by publications including CBS News, the Los Angeles Times, Vice, Gizmodo, Engadget, the Verge, and Vanity Fair. I grew up in locales ranging from India to China, and now live in the exotic suburbs of Virginia. In my free time, I'm an avid reader of weird sci-fi literature, an aficionado of East Asian cinema, and, regrettably, a relapsed gamer. Allegedly, I’m working on a debut novel, currently untitled. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
