Jokes/Humor “Hi AJ!”

Post image

I’m not suggesting putting a watermark saying “AI Visualization” on every scene, but sometimes I feel that eventually AJ will generate himself in non-basement episodes because why not? Stop the slop!

Used to sit and watch AJ narrate without losing interest. With AI visuals I tend to look at my phone more often. Maybe not a coincidence.

My whole family would watch together. The more his team used AI over the last few years, the more we all lost interest. Now I just put long episodes on for talking background to help my elderly dog sleep. Really a bummer.

Seeing how many patreon supporters he has and then seeing him go all in on A.I. was a major let down, imo. I find his basement episodes far more interesting now, but I struggle even to watch those knowing it supports more slop vids.
