You can see the YT AI generated thumbnail from a mile away.
When you go to upload a youtube video, there's an option to have it generate a thumbnail for you, and they all seem to look like that. Some kind of bloom effect somewhere, Bright yellow text or yellow highlighted text, and a mishmash of stuff vaguely related to the video.
The big text brushstroke design is the image equivalent of an em-dash and being overly nice.
Is that what is going on? I've been blocking channels for using those clearly AI generated thumbnails. I didn't realize Youtube was the one pushing it. 🤦
Yeah its on YT's end. This isn't the video I originally heard about it, but here's one of a Youtuber, Regular Eyepatch Wolf, talking about when he first saw the new option on the YT Upload page: Youtubes TERRIBLE New AI Thumbnails
tl;dw is he tries it out and it generates a few thumbnails based on his video idea and is real uncomfortable with it generating pictures of his face and the descriptions it comes up with to try to sell him on the pictures he came up with.
