bill wurtz's upload break comes with a firm no-AI footnote

The descriptions of "in the future" and "i'm going off the map" make the same point in characteristically few words.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

in the future

There is nothing new on bill wurtz's upload shelf this week, but the descriptions have a small refrain of their own. Under "in the future": "oops, no ai." Under "i'm going off the map": "no ai whatsoever." For an artist known for making music and animation feel wonderfully unlike anything else, those are succinct production notes.

"in the future" remains the busiest of the channel's current draws, a month after release. It has reached about 1.3 million views and is adding views several times faster than either "i'm going off the map" or "nametags, for nameless people". The former has also crossed a million views, giving the catalog another seven-figure entry while new releases take a breather.

The subscriber audience held steady over the week. Nearby in subscriber size, the Jonas Brothers also recorded no subscriber gain, while Jhené Aiko and Ren both grew. There is no need to turn that into a verdict on Wurtz's week: his peculiar little titles are doing the talking without a new arrival, including the pleasing contradiction of name tags for people without names.
