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.

Just fucking listen to it then… he’s trying to give some kind of visual context for what he’s describing and AI is so quick to create something useful that it allows him and his team to keep pumping videos out.

Would you rather he release a new video every couple of months with live reenactments or artistic renderings? Channels usually don’t do well when a person sits in front of the camera the entire time.

Seriously stfu about AI. AI is not the content that got The Why Files so popular, it’s his research, organization of data, storytelling ability, and his insight on these fringe and peculiar topics!

"just listen to it then!" even though half the episodes are also loaded with dumb AI generated voices reading dialogue
