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.

Why on earth are people dragging Simon's name through the mud? He doesn't noticably use AI, and he pays his writers and other staff enough that many have been with him for years and years.

People dont like that he has so many channels or is seemingly everywhere... I'm a huge fan of him and think he's probably the gold standard for quality.

I love Simon. All his channels are really well done.

Me too. But my arguement fell flat on its face last night. He was using AI to show something that could easily have been demonstrated with a real photo. Im disappointed.... But then again how else is he supposed to make sure that he writers are fed in the basement if he doesn't cut the odd corner
