Sigh. A YouTube creator I like used an AI generated thumbnail for their most recent video. I gently commented that he should reconsider using AI thumbnails, and a still from the video would much better showcase his art (he is a historic documentary filmmaker and photographer).
Replies to my post quickly degenerated into people suggesting that I meant he should use MORE AI art, and the creator replying that the thumbnail was not generated and was a hand picked still from the video (YouTube showing me something different?). And finally I was asked if I am actually a bot or just replying to the wrong video.
Sometimes I just want to pull the covers over my head and cry.
Does this thumbnail seem AI generated to you? Is YouTube just randomly replacing thumbnails now, and only showing it to some users?
