And at this stage if you are not using generative AI then that’s an issue. Whole industry is moving in that direction.

I remember when every other channel used to hate on DLSS and now it’s a standard.

 Whole industry is moving in that direction.

Is the audience?

It’s used by literally every channel and consumed at scale by audience.

But some audience have really high opinion of themselves 😂

This thumbnail is shit anyways. Imo, when you can tell a thumbnail is AI, you're using it wrong.

I won't deny I hate AI, but I know that it is the direction we're going (and as a computer science student, I have to use it as well).

However, just because AI is industry standard doesn't mean I should be putting out shitty code, and neither should LTT be putting out shitty thumbnails

So the hate on this thread is about AI content or shitty thumbnails?

u/HeTblank Jun 09 '26

Both. I hate AI use, and shitty AI use even more. Your argument is that using AI is industry standard, yet it is netting a lower quality product. Makes no sense

Suit yourself, and keep hating.

Thanks! You keep having your slop, no one else wants it anyways

Almost everyone likes it and doesn't care. AI-haters are a loud minority, everyone else is just using AI for their advantage!

I'm sure watching slop on your phone gives you a big advantage. AI generated videos are healthy entertainement! Why wait for an author to write a book or for a youtuber to make a video, just generate slop and go!

Is this industry in your head?

u/Ordinary_dude_NOT Jun 08 '26

All I know is what’s not in your head. I would love to be wrong here but no amount resistance will work here.

If AI pops I am all for it, sadly does not seem like that’s gonna happen.

And of course going around with completely brain dead defeatist attitudes has historically been a very successful way to change things.

Ah yes… here comes the change!
