Why Everyone Is Talking About SK Telecom’s New AI Prompt for YouTube Comment Management

On September 1, 2026, South Korean telecommunications giant SK Telecom released a generative AI prompt designed to help YouTube creators filter out malicious comments while extracting constructive feedback.

What happened

• On September 1, 2026, SK Telecom published the 'Life AX Comment Manager Prompt' on its official newsroom [1].
• The tool was created by Cho Young-won [1].
• It is aimed at individual content creators on platforms like YouTube [1].
• The prompt is used with the generative AI model Claude [1].
• The cost of the prompt was not disclosed [1].

Why it matters

Content creators often face psychological stress when exposed to malicious comments [1]. SK Telecom designed this prompt to protect creators from emotional hurt while ensuring they do not miss important improvement requests hidden among thousands of comments [1]. Just as living organisms adapt to external stimuli, the YouTube ecosystem relies on interactions between creators and viewers, though criticisms can sometimes hinder a creator's motivation [1].

The numbers

What's next

Field application began immediately following the September 1, 2026 release [1]. Creators can input their current mental state into the prompt—if set to 'bottom,' a safety device blocks high-toxicity text so the user only sees sanitized sentences [1]. Creators can also input tone samples to receive draft replies reflecting their own personalities, and the tool includes a verification section to prevent AI hallucinations [1].
