The example you give is very clearly AI generated. Has there been any work done on how different such thumbnails behave vs. clearly non-AI thumbnails?

Thanks for the comment. Appreciate the interest.

I did the experiment for my fantasy youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@AIBookBytes) and CTR increased from 1.2% to 2% which for me was a huge deal.

This is probably not the tool for super high subscriber youtube channels but from amateurs to mid size youtube channels could be very helpful. Obviousy it is clear that it's AI generated by many channels use that and still are successful. As long as expressions are clear and text is bold and visible, should be good.
