Is YouTube actually at this point? I know a couple channels I follow have started using AI more widely, at least in thumbnails, specifically because it gets more clicks.
I just unsubscribe if a channel start using AI thumbnails
A segment certainly is. Of all the channels that I generally keep tabs on. Only one that I don't view very often has ever used AI generated thumbnails to my knowledge. Every other single one is just doing basic thumbnails or standard YouTuber thumbnails. But nothing AI. If I see a video that's largely just random Clips strung together with a sus voice. I'm thumbs-downing and leaving immediately.
Family is a different story. Most of them I believe generally do the same. My father regularly gets sucked into one AI video or another. Though he's kind of cutting back on it. Seeing as any time one of us is around. We pick up instantly on AI voice stutters mispronunciations or ridiculous bullshit in the AI generated videos. Instantly laughing and ridiculing them. He had one on recently talking about folk Legends of indigenous peoples of the americas. And at one point they were talking about a tribes cat-man mythos. When the AI video cut to an interior scene that look like it was in a museum. And in the museum there was a bust in a glass case. And on the bus was a cow that looked exactly like Batman's only it had a few sketchy Native American looking motifs sort of plastered in places. But it was a literal fucking Batman cowl. We just about died laughing.
