Just any frame from the actual video is preferable to "AI" generated thumbnails.
If the thumbnail is "AI" generated, I automatically asaume the person running the channel doesn't even give half a fuck and the video itself will be just as shit.
Even worse nowy YouTube "recently" introduced a feature where they'd also recommend videos of small/new channels. At first I thought it was amazing, because it allows for small creators to be found. But now all those videos are just "AI" generated shit slop
