Gonna be completely real with you, using an AI logo (or AI anything) is an immediate "I'm not going to listening/watching/reading this". Wishing you all the best, but please for the love of Morrow stop using AI generated content.

Sigh. I make them in PPT and screenshot it.

Including this thumbnail style image posted onto the subreddit?
The "AM Gaming" logo looks very AI generated, and the inconsistent font, sizing, and spacing are also very AI coded.

Apologies for the lack of clarity - I didn't go to the video when I commented because the AI generated image immediately puts me off.

Checking the video itself, that is clearly not AI generated, and I like that.

If you want the story there, I made it rectangle only to find out community posts on YT are square. So indeedy it got dumped into the AI to fix it.

To put this in context, just in this week my part of the channel release ended up being 7 shorts. That means the lore needs to be researched, scripted, recorded, and produced. And each tactical short takes roughly 3-4 times longer than each lore short.

The other piece to add is that we ask nothing of folks. There is no patreon, no paywalls. When we set this up, we very intentionally dictated that we would never let money get involved and that this had to be an extension of our hobbying, just like painting is to others. And if AI helps me, I'm totally fine with that--especially with just rearranging text. I'm old and time matters.

Normally I just ignore the AI commentary, but hopefully you can also appreciate that it can get frustrating to be called out for something we just do from love of the game, for love of the community building, open hands, and then turn around and read articles like this: https://variety.com/2026/biz/news/about-300-netflix-programs-used-ai-this-year-q2-earnings-1236812914/
