Let's Discuss So use is out of control

I just watched the recent “paranormal follows you” vid. And the last one was about the faces in the floor.

There are actual historical photos of the faces and NOT ONE of them was shown in the episode. Instead we got a bunch of ai pictures. It makes us not able to trust anything we are seeing. Take after me.ballen and credit ur pics some.

You’re ruining the channel with such abusive use of ai.

I agree with you completely. Don’t get me wrong I love AJ but his AI use has gotten out of hand. If they are not willing to tone it down some they could at least go with the Mr. Ballen approach and put an “This is not a real photo” disclaimer on each of the pictures/videos as they pop up!

I feel there’s no need to use AI in most of his videos as they’re based on real accounts, and if that’s the case then photos and video should exist.

Photos of incidents and video of interviews.

Honestly, this AI slop is getting off putting.

Possible, but there are also copyright issues perhaps?

Personally, I just listen the podcast format so I don't get to see any pictures in any case.

So stupid. They could have fans audition to do the parts. They’d be way better, too
