Chat I think we’re in the bad place

YouTube removed a channel that was dedicated to posting AI-generated videos of women being shot in the head following 404 Media’s request for comment. The videos were clearly generated with Google’s new AI video generator tool, Veo, according to a watermark included in the bottom right corner of the videos.

The channel, named Woman Shot A.I, started on June 20, 2025. It posted 27 videos, had over 1,000 subscribers, and had more than 175,000 views, according to the channel’s publicly available data.

violence against women

All the videos posted by the channel follow the exact same formula. The nearly photo-realistic videos show a woman begging for her life while a man with a gun looms over her. Then he shoots her. Some videos have different themes, like compilations of video game characters like Lara Croft being shot, “Japanese Schoolgirls Shot in Breast,” “Sexy HouseWife Shot in Breast,” “Female Reporter Tragic End,” and Russian soldiers shooting women with Ukrainian flags on their chest.

“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 channel’s owner wrote in a public post on YouTube. “So, imagine how many times I generate a video once I upload, I just want to say that every time I upload a compilation consisting of several 8-second clips, it’s not enough for just 1 account.”

Woman Shot A.I’s owner claimed they have 10 accounts. “I have to spend quite a lot of money just to have fun,” they said.

    So if someone puts up a bunch of clips from movies of people being killed should we take those down too?

    How long does a clip have to be before it crosses the threshold from being snuff to being a movie scene? What other criteria must it meet?

    I mean this seriously. Because this is a very real barrier you’re going to run into when dealing with this. I assume you don’t want to prevent killing people from being in any movie or tv show?.. Maybe you do?.. Do you? Real question again. I don’t know and I want to clarify this is not an argument, I’m not really judging or anything. I’m sincerely engaging.

    EDIT: Oh and we have to talk about videogame killing too after the above questions I guess.
