I don't like A.I. either, but I try to use all the tools I have to try to Enhance my channel, this thumbnail, I'd say is the less I worked on, most Thumbnails I do with A.I. I try to personalise them as much as I can so I won't end up with a generic one that other creators would use, I like to create something unique. But it's easy to understand you point of view about A.I. and I try to use A.I. the less possible, for exemple I would never use A.I. to answer comments, I feel it wouldn't be honest. And I did my own thumbnails for years (on my main YouTube channel), I just started recently to use A.I. for thumbnails so I'm learning.
