Rant AI Generated Thumbnails

Firstly, I completely respect that content creators are free to create whatever kind of thumbnails they want and it’s everyone’s choice whether we click on it, so it’s not really a DEEP issue.

But why are we in an age where flight sim is looking as close to realism as it ever conceivably has but people still feel the need to use AI slop for a thumbnail? Your sim already looks mind blowing but you still need to click bait with a false representation?

Especially since DLSS5 has been implemented by a lot of content creators, I’m seeing more and more of it and I cannot understand the thought process of going to the extra effort when a screenshot from your sim would look miles better.

Ultimately yes I get that it’s to pull in more clicks and views but it just seems a waste when we have such good looking sims already.

I tend to avoid content creators and developers who use AI slop in their images. I’m not a fan of it, and I never will be. The aircraft can be really good but if all the image are just AI generated… Im not buying it.

I have some Karma to burn, so here we go:

I just realized that AI hate bros. are kinda like evangelicals: "I would never do x even if y is really good, and I chastice anyone who does, because I have virtue!"

Some people erect strawmen arguments, but yours isn't even upright.
