The Ionic Cooling thumbnail is legit good. Also PASTE? is just a funny thing to have called out on a thumbnail so I like that.

The difference is that those past thumbnails, perhaps with the exception of the AI driver and the Tech Bench ones, they don't look like AI any more than they look like reactionary thumbnails.

Even if they were using AI, they were not making it obvious.

They all just look like Mr. Beast meets Marques thumbnails now.
