Is AI actually ruining YouTube thumbnails, or are we just using it completely wrong?
In today’s motovlog, we’ll tool around on my 2024 Harley Road Glide to share my thoughts on a massive topic that Spaghetti Weston recently brought up. There is an absolute epidemic of “sameness” hitting our subscription feeds right now, and frankly, a lot of AI-generated thumbnails are starting to look over-processed, and trapped in the uncanny valley.
In this video, I break down:
– The results of an informal study I conducted tracking channels using AI thumbnails (and whether it actually helps views).
– The psychological reason viewers instantly devalue content when they see an AI thumbnail.
– How creators SHOULD actually be using AI as a tool
AI should be a tool in your workflow, not a total replacement for your creativity. Let’s talk about it.
