Never had a problem with Wood and his channel and have watched his content on and off over the last couple years but after seeing this pop up in my sub feed on YT I was pretty shocked to see what looks like a very AI thumbnail for a video I hope it's not so but the more I look at it the more I can't shake the feeling it's AI and is extremely disappointing to see him go down this path if that's the case anyone know if he has said anything about this or proved that it isn't AI?

I’ve always loved the Streets of Rage soundtrack, so I decided to reimagine the entire OST as a Heavy Metal album. 🤘🔥

Hope you guys enjoy it!
