I hate AI generated thumbnails

[u/Airames6]

I love levy's videos but I don't like how his thumbnails are mostly AI nowadays

Worst part about it is that people will deny it, every single time anyone says his thumbnails are AI they get hundreds of downvotes despite

1. Nonsense text, like in the second and third photo of this post

2. Horrifying creatures, like in the 4th picture where you can see some sort of deformed man with glasses that have no legs

3. Inconsistencies like in the aot thumbnail

And finally, 4. The fact that some of these thumbnails have a SynthID watermark, an invisible watermark both OpenAI and Gemini recently apply to their images

I'm sure a lot of effort still goes into making these since there are barely any mistakes, what I believe happens is that levy or his team make a simple thumbnail that is then edited with AI, this minimizes the amount of mistakes AI can make

But I would rather having a simple human-made thumbnail than an "epic" AI one

Holy shit it makes me stop watching the channel a lot of the time. If you're a big channel using AI, time for me to find another!

Visual ai is easy to spot but the thing that's more insidious and subtle is when youtubers pull up a screenshot of google ai overview as a source. Like immediately will just make me doubt everything they say and make me think they're kinda a sloppy low intelligence person that half asses stuff. Idgaf how smug and ludditey that makes me sound, i hate how google has normalized ai by forcing that on all its users. like yk yall can just switch search engines
