Will an AI generated YouTube video reach 20M views before 2026?

At least 90% of the frames and audio in the video must be generated by an AI, but an editing process involving a human is permissible within the context of this question. The video must be at least 45 seconds long (YouTube shorts are acceptable provided they fulfil this criteria).

Intros and outros are not considered as "part of the video" unless these are also AI-generated. If a video has 5 seconds of intros and outros, then the video must be at least 50 seconds long in order to include 45 seconds of AI-generated content.

In order for the video to fulfil the criteria of "AI generated", a neural network (or some similar class of model) must be significantly involved in the production of each frame counted in the 45 seconds of AI-generated content in the video.

The "main subject" of the video must be AI generated in order to qualify. For example, a music video with a real singer superimposed on an AI generated background would not qualify. However, an AI generated singer in a virtual scene on which real backup dancers have been superimposed would qualify.

For a frame to be considered AI generated, then the majority of the pixels must have been produced by a process that involved a neural network (or similar architecture) to a substantial degree.

Silent videos are acceptable, as are videos with a still image, provided this image is AI generated. If the video is not silent then the audio must be broadly generated by an AI. If a video has an audio track that contains both AI generated (synthetic) and recorded audio (e.g a real human's voice), then this media qualifies only if the AI generated audio content is the main "subject" of the audio track. For example, a real human voice singing over synthetic AI-generated background music would not qualify, except in the case that the voice was only heard in a few seconds of the soundtrack.

Background music or sound effects that are not AI-generated are permissible provided that 90% of the video contains AI-generated audio on top (e.g. AI-generated voices), and that the AI-generated audio is the "main subject" of the audio track (cannot be simply AI-generated sound effects on top of a music track created by a human).

So is this eligible https://youtu.be/iE39q-IKOzA?si=HIB1U2inlcOpkKdQ

The music is probably the biggest issue

@DavidFWatson yeah was considering this. There's a discussion over in the question /RemNi/will-an-ai-generated-video-reach-10-9511a17489a9 (which in principle is the first question that should resolve as YES among all the questions in this series). Indeed, the main issue is the music, there are long stretches of the video where there is no dialogue and there's only the soundtrack playing on the audio channel, which disqualifies this video unfortunately.

@DavidFWatson But it does come very close! All it would need would be either to drop the music soundtrack, use an AI-generated one or simply fill in the gaps with more dialogue. Given that we're only in January 2024 I think there's time for another video in the same style to become as popular as the balenciaga one

@DavidFWatson After all, to the well organised mind, Balenciaga is but the next great adventure
