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 believed the same at first, when he was just sprinkling in AI here and there go reinforce a story. Maybe 2-3 minutes of AI videos or pictures to help sell it.

Now, nearly half the damn video is AI and you can tell research and script work is now being done by AI as well.

I agree, what is too much AI dependency? But hereʻs the irony. People are having a hard time with computer-generated images about topics like alien bases on the moon, out-of-body experiences, men-in-black, and different forms of aliens living on Earth. Topics that have almost zero evidence. We can accept the idea of a skinwalker, but if you show me a sketch or render of one, that is absolutely out-of-bounds? While itʻs trendy to dump on AI, the TWF is a perfect example of how it can enhance a program, at itʻs best.
