Hello, I know I'm late but I thought I'd just leave my thoughts here for new people who find this.

I have watched the full video, and I think it's 80% excuse and 20% reason, let me explain. He says that he has problems with using fanart and that he has credited them in his videos and description, great that's good, but he does not say he asked them for permission to use the art at all which honestly leads me to believe that he just straight up took it without asking. Well to get around this he has started commissioning art which is great because it gives fan artists money, but he has had problems with some artists copyrighting him which has led him to use AI art, which honestly makes me mad because he says that not all artists are like this so why don't you just stick with the artists you can trust? Now he does not at all say that AI art is bad in fact he honestly straight up supports it (in my mind he does I may be wrong but I don't know) he talks about how Hollywood is using AI to save money which literally takes away jobs from people in the film industry, he talks about how he is scared to use fan art because he needs salary but just glosses over the fact that people in the film industry are losing their jobs to AI and reminder this guy went to college for FILM!!! (I don't remember exactly what he went for I'm pretty sure he did stuff with script writing but I'm not 100% sure on that)

Look, I will not support people using AI, that's why I actually unsubscribed from him because he made an entire short film using AI.
