When new channels show up on my recommendations I like to check out how old the channels are, especially if the quality is low or the voice is a clear or probably robot. AI channels don't tend to be very old, and they tend to have insanely high upload speeds. Cranking out hour-long, edited, topical (not gameplay for example) videos every single day is hard as hell and nobody can do it without building up to it with editors and maybe script writers.
For example, Simon Whistler is the most prolific video creator I can think of and he's got a crew to do it full time, but he's been at it for ages and he's there in all the videos.
I hate it that channels that never before had face cams are increasingly having to use them or otherwise change things because it's the easiest way (for now) to prove they're actual humans. But that's the hell we've been dragged into.
