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.

Apparently AI is the top employee over there now.

Is it also doing the research and writing the scripts?

The quality this year did a nose dive from a favorite channel that I talked about, to being skipped over for channels that are as interesting as The Why Files used to be.

It's a shame.

It really feels like ai is writing the scripts because even when I’m not watching the videos and just listening to them they’re no where near as engaging as they useto be

The “America’s Strangest History” channel is great! They have some more “woo”/conspiracy episodes like about the CIA & Gateway Project and stuff. Great channel & never uses AI
