There's something uncanny about them but I understand why people use them.

Thoughts?

PS: I think as more and more YouTubers use ai thumbnails they'll all start to look the same and so manually created ones may return again.

It seems ai thumbnails have a higher CTR now though so expect to see more of them for a while at least.

Yeah, I don’t really like AI thumbnails. A lot of them already have the same exaggerated look, and after a while they start to feel cheap and repetitive.

yesh i totally agree that ai thumbnails surely catch peoples attention but many of them tend to have the same polished look. when everybody becomes familiar with one partticular style it will lose its uniqueness. thus the original thumbnail designed by a person will catch everyones attention.
 
i agree with this i dont know why but its kind of too obvious to me when ever i see those thumbnails but with time everything will come back to how it usally is to be honest because people will get tired of it
 
the novelty probably gives them an advantage right now once every channel starts using the same style, standing out will become much harder
 
I hate AI thumbnails on youtube. They all looks the same. all of them are black with bright colour font and some weird looking character. But i also understand creating AI thumbnails is easy and quick. so everyone are using this. Not sure about CTR after using ai thumbnails. but creating your in this ai thumbnail crowd is more difficult now..
 
I hate them
If they have a higher CTR, this is the reason number 92382374 to end this world and restart humanity
 
Honestly, I don't dislike AI thumbnails. Making a thumbnail is so much easier now, and they can grab attention quickly.

honesty speaking i believe that the most attractive aspect of ai thumbnails at present is their novelty. once people have grown accustomed to the same clean ai design it is likely that authenticity nd uniiqueness will be what people will click on.
 
Now we have come to a point where we cannot distinguish between AI thumbnails and the others. And i guess AI thumbnails do look good at times with small adjustments made after the generation.
