I am curious how youd did these thumbnails with AI. Please make a video about it Brian 🙏

[@WORKHARDERPRODUCTIONS]

Thank you for your research.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Any time

[@bobbychristy]

First time seeing your content. Really good stuff. I would like to see a video on how to make thumbnails using my image. Looking forward to learning more in the days and weeks to come.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

I appreciate the kind words. I'm planning a video on that very subject.

[@bestvideo-jokes]

Yeah!!!another great one! Thanks Brian.❤❤ Amazing voice over. I tried making thumbnails with AI images but people could easily see they were AI and commented that they didn’t like it. So now I’m using my “normal” frame shot for the thumbnail and still putting some AI images in my videos because it is really amazing what the AI can create…that would be impossible to create… or take a very long time without AI.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Pleasure my friend

[@4WheelingSA]

I think AI is here to stay, so to ignore it is not going to make it go away. I think we should embrace it, but in an ethical way. Don't use it to steal, but if it can speed up your workflow, why not? At least it will give us all the opportunity to have good thumbnails for example.

[@AliexFolgueira]

Gemini CORRECTED TEXT "I love using AI (I mean, it's not *truly* AI, more like regular software that responds to inputs, it can't actually think on its own, etc.). Gemini and I have had these long conversations about everything - it's like a super polite friend you can just talk to. It's amazing for writing stuff and even proposing deals and things. Think about it, you can just type up a comment like this, spill ALL the beans, then copy the text, put it in the AI thingie, and ask it to fix the grammar but keep the original feel. Voila! Instead of spending 30 minutes reading and correcting, it gets done in a second. Sometimes the words it uses aren't *you*, but you just change a word here and there, and boom, it sounds like you. The voice-over thing will be a game-changer for me. Where people will go wrong with AI is that they'll create content that anyone can create, and soon no one will care about it. AI is best used like you use it, Brian, adding that extra touch to make a better video." i was going to add my original text, but you don't want to read that lol

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Thanks! It's great to hear your perspective on this and how you use it.

[@BonnieTheBeliever]

bravo... 👏 👏 this video is SO well done. Can't wait to create my own version. :)

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Thanks my friend!

[@sharkscrapper]

I will learn to use AI to enhance my content. But I'll never use it to deceive my viewers. So many "creators" are more concerned about finding a hack, rather than learning how to make engaging, meaningful content.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Bingo!!!

[@AdApT3Rx]

Exactly

[@AgesCreatorHelp]

It would be interesting to hear how you made the AI voice bot. I think using that to do a sentence or two for voiceover is fair game.

[@4kTrainVideos]

This was great. That was my AI Comment Tool ⬆️

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Nice !!

[@SteveMayedaTV]

AI is here to stay and it will be one more thing that changes the game

[@GordIsman]

Great video Brian! I'm all in on AI. I'm now working on creating GPTs to help with the video content creation, and I'm continuously amazed at how collaborating with AI gets results. I must say that I do want to master my skills with some tools, but there are so many out there - how do I allocate learning time? And, it does feel overwhelming - like I'm a kid in a candy store and I want all the candy. I would love to see your videos on AI images and voice.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Think about the tools Gord that can help you with the task you have right in front of you. Rather than just being pulled in by all the fun and amazing things out there.

[@GordIsman]

That's a great point, Brian. Thank you!

[@jeanshelbybooks]

I 💜the idea of getting help with thumbnails. As a newer KZbinr this is fascinating to me! I wouldn’t use AI to do work for me as much as alongside me. Looking forward to more videos about this. 😊

[@TheTwistedJalapeno]

Im definitely interested in learning more but you’ll be the only one I’ll watch regarding AI. YES, please do the video you suggested.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

I'm excited to share more about this with you!

[@PureContentProduction]

Ai is my game? 😁 My whole channel is about Ai tools for content creators! I’ve been researching this topic for the last two years and heavily involved for the last three months. Love your presentation of this subject! Good job. I’d love to do a video call and talk about this with you. ❤🎉

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Best of luck!

[@BonnieTheBeliever]

This video is right on time for me, thanks. :)

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

I'm happy you found it useful!

[@RzOnT]

I want to learn how to AI, I'm curious about how you did the voice training and the images, thank you Brian 😊

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

I'm creating a video soon about that process. Stay tuned.

[@ColinDeWaay]

Hey Brian would love to know what you used for your ai voice to correct mistakes or things missed

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

It's a neat tool for sure! I'll share more about that process in a future video.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I have used it for help with some scripts and other small things ... I do believe after it gets more popular there will be some backlash over videos that are totally created by AI

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Agreed

[@australian1018]

My wife makes AI cat videos, people seem to love them.

[@JonnyRecaps]

As a creative person, I don't think I'd ever be tempted to 'cheat' during the creation process (that's where all the fun is, right?), but I've been using GPT regularly to gather a lot of my initial Google research. Can I ask which application you used for the voice work? The result was impressive.

[@ThingsIBuy]

Hey Brian, great video here! I would absolutely love some videos on how you utilize AI. For now ive just been cloning my voice to fix things as you mentioned and for my shorts. I have a Separate channel ive been using to tinker with fully ai generated content through descriptive prompts and i have a laundry list of apps i want to try it. It really is fascinating!!!

[@Dreymasmith]

I think the problem is when AI becomes a substitution for genuine creation rather than a tool to help a creator. And there are too many people out there passing off AI generated content as something of their own making. It's imperative that those who do use it are honest about how they use it and about how much of their content is created with it. Also, not everything is suited to AI generation anyway - I think we will go through a phase where AI tools are definitely overused before the pendulum swings back a bit (eg, Minecraft AI generated thumbnails generally suck). And just as an aside, Darth Poodle (because a Darth never has his own name after his title) is a little... unsettling.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

ha! Darth Poodle!! Great points my friend.

[@JulieTorrens]

As an artist, I use AI for inspiration. AI helps me broaden my imagination. I do NOT ask AI to use a style of another artist, dead or alive. Dall-E trains on millions, maybe billions of images and looks for patterns. The images are numbers, mathematics. The chance I end up copying another artist is almost nill. I wish less people would create images and then just slap them on Etsy. 👁👁 We all see you! Thank you, Brian. From a member of your closing Crew! ❤

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Julie, it’s always a pleasure to see you on the channel! And I love the fact that you’re using AI to broaden your ideas and scope of art.

[@JulieTorrens]

@BriangjohnsonTv Thank you. ❤️

[@bestvideo-jokes]

I forgot to say..: I used chat GPT to make a shorts joke on the saying,” jumped the gun”. It gave me a script, optimized title and description. I made the video and published it. It has a better than average swipe away rate but so far is behind normal in views. It should be interesting to see how the SEO helps get views over time.

[@RadioJonesy]

very interesting subject

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

I’m glad you found it interesting!

[@RonsTrainsNThings]

Can you tell us which AI generator you used to make those pictures of yourself?

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Yes, Fal. Ai… using flux Laura training portrait mode. I’ll create a video on it. My friend is pretty incredible.

[@RonsTrainsNThings]

@BriangjohnsonTv I look forward to that. I am using AI to help with content strategy and training in needed areas, but would like to create images for B-roll.

[@leadwithjim]

Would love to see a video on how you created the AI voice clone and pic! Thank you

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Thanks, I’ll definitely create a video about that process!

[@GrownMenTalking]

What AI did you use for the Thumbnail? Appreciate you

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

fal .ai using a lora training model.

[@GrownMenTalking]

@BriangjohnsonTv thank you so much!

[@guthelp]

Would definetly like to see a video about cloning your voice. That was pretty cool

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Thanks! I'll put it on the list.

[@WayOfTheZombie]

PSA: If you are monetized you better make sure your ai music pics or video is a paid version and u have rights to monetize it. Otherwise guess who gets the money on all your sweet ad dollars. You can also get copyright strikes. Most open-source ai strictly prohibits monetization.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Thanks for sharing this important point!

[@WayOfTheZombie]

It's a windfall for the businesses selling the picks n shovels (openai etc...)

[@consumerdebtchitchat]

I use filmora but their AI right now really sucks and has a whole lot of improvement needed 😢😢

[@DrewProject]

I also am curious how you made these thumbnails with AI. Please make a video about it Brian! And in the meanwhile... if you could share what service you used you'd have my eternal gratitude! (which means I'll buy you a beer if we ever meet in person :p)

[@ab-cn7ki]

what Ai was used to do the voice over?

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Yes, about two minutes into the video that’s AI

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

Not sure if I might explore it or not. Not comfy with the idea at this time. I’ve noticed that too many things, though incredible, like this voice bot, for instance, don’t always work for everyone. That is to say, it can take away foreign accents which can be deceiving. I like to hear clear accents from different nationalities. They intrigue me. Then again, the reverse is true if people were to use fake American or English accents. Trying AI would really depend on my curiosity more than necessity. 🙂

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Makes a lot of sense and thanks for sharing my friend

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

You’re most welcome and appreciated. 💓👍

[@tonyprincis7623]

Great content, and interesting questions about using AI. For me. With almost no design or creative skill, AI is the almost perfect helper, but yeah still think we have some way to go, re quality of images etc.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

I agree - AI is a great tool for anyone to use to create content!

[@BigVanSmallWorld]

Haha I tried AI to script a video it was an epic failure 😂🤣🤙

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

agreed, I use ai more for images, thumbnails … ect

[@trauma2happiness]

I use AI. I often write the whole script and put it in. Sometimes I let it write the script then I edit it. I also edit the video clips. It has cut down the time it takes to make videos and sometimes their script has some good points.

[@noname-xb4fr]

Which ai software you used to clone your voice, sir please mention here 🙏

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

11. Labs.

[@noname-xb4fr]

@BriangjohnsonTv thanks sir but that would mean professional voice cloning feature of eleven labs which means going for the pro version which again means 22usd monthly because eleven labs starter plan is okayish but not like the professional voice cloning feature of the pro plan, hence the conclusion is I am doomed for 2025 also 😔

[@AliexFolgueira]

haaaaa finaly I will be able to speak proper American! even though it is not me it is an AI haha do you have a link to the voice thingie?

[@PlacesofMiddleEarth]

In my niche I see people using AI to generate scripts that are BS. But BS makes people mad so they engage and watch the whole video, and that pushes the video reach farther. My concern is that AI is more of a boon to bullshit than truth, unfortunately, even if there are fair use cases.

[@ThailandThomas]

Ai is my dream. As a film maker i am in paradise. To tell any story to make any film and never have to leave my studio. A film that would cost 100 million dollars will so be able to make it for less than million. I started a new channel just for my ai films and videos. I made a AI avatar of my self when I was 24, it kinda cool. He talks just like me and sings like a rockstar.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Nice!!

[@tomkeltescheverythingoutdo2379]

Recently ive been called an "old soul" from numerous people, including my wife. I feel im old school too. So with this whole AI thing, id prefer to use the tools for keeping my content real. In my opinion, AI, I think it might end up huanting us.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Fair enough, my friend I appreciate your feedback. For me I’m forcing forward, but it’ll never replace the old school tools. It’ll just add to.

[@HarleyPebley]

0:12 Reminds me of the old joke: the only way to recan a can of worms is to use a larger can. 😀

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Exactly Harley

[@WORKHARDERPRODUCTIONS]

I'm definitely going to use Ai. I use it now

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

I'm interested in hearing how it works for you!

[@Worldwheelchairwarriors]

I have only used them for titles or thumbnails.

[@consumerdebtchitchat]

Am I too late to be first? 😂😂❤

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

First!!!!

[@consumerdebtchitchat]

​@@BriangjohnsonTv😂❤❤❤❤

[@TheWheezer-lj4cp]

I'll be interweaving AI eventually throughout the YT platform for myself ......with much caution!

[@DomAZ]

I use A.I. for the description and text on thumbnail. Not for the thumbnail, it's not good at all, needs some improvement. That will be great to see how you train A.I. with your own pictures. I think most people are not again A.I. but you need to find the perfect balance, too much and people hates that.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Agreed! Finding the right balance is key.

[@grandpasrandomreviews]

Maybe I could create an AI image of myself and then I'd have two working eyes 🙂 LoL Seriously though, I have been using AI to help with titles, descriptions and keywords. But I have not dabbled into voice overs using AI or creating images. Would be neat if I could find an AI that could analyze a video and then create the thumbnail with a text overlay. Perhaps they do have one, I just haven't discovered it yet. Soon, I am afraid, there will be fully AI generated movies in theaters which could replace actors and actresses.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

That’s a great idea for an AI tool - analyzing a video and creating a thumbnail with text! VidIQ actually has one available, but it’s a little bit rudimentary and the AI image look about a year behind

[@grandpasrandomreviews]

@@BriangjohnsonTv It could just take the best screen capture from the video that is relatable to the title. Much like YT already has but only better and with the text overlay. By the way, do you get notifications when someone replies to your reply on here? I have found replies to my replies on some videos that I was never notified of, so it made it look like I ignored them, a couple were over 2 months old.

[@grandpasrandomreviews]

I may have figured out why I was not getting notifications on my replies to a viewer's comment. "Activity on my comments" this was turned off.

[@mimisart]

I'm still on the fence. I like what it does for me when creating scripts or getting ideas for thumbnails etc. But to hear your AI voice...it creeps me out. Not so much from you, but this kind of stuff in the wrong hands can deceive so many...and that worries me. People might start wondering (well, a lot already have) if what they are looking at is real...even though in the upload phase of videos KZbin asks you to be transparent and let them (and your audience) know that you've used AI to significantly alter reality, is there any security or checks around this? I doubt it...KZbin isn't the AI police. It's so annoying when AI thumbnails pop up that look so real, but aren't...(like the hollywood sign on fire with some catchy title, whilst it didn't burn down, etc...all lies). I think AI can be wonderful and create some amazing images or even videos, but like you said...what is ethical? And more importantly, who's going to go too far here?

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

I understand your concerns, my friend. The ethics of AI, especially in the content creation space, is a complex one.

[@fragglefragmentedmind]

I am literally just in the process of editing a video on AI and its role within spirituality and we are vs what AI is.. it will turn a lot of people off. Is AI an extension of who we are, manifesting thoughts quicker than has ever been realised? I have been back and forth with AI.. is it a good thing or not. I had basically plastered my thoughts all scrambled around what I said above. I didnt know where to start regards making it coherent so I put it in its scrambled mess in ChatGPT and well, the work was done for me. I felt guilty, like I had cheated, even though they were my own thoughts (or were they 😆?).. anyways.. great video. Sadly, it will be abused, already is being abused. People wont use it to enhance creativity but rather replace creativity.. me.. I think it is part of me so yay.. Im going to abuse it (Jokes). Please can you do a video on using it to create thumbnails. I think my thumbnails are too 'arty'..

[@AliceGoss]

I'll only use A.I to create images from medieval times, to enhance my videos.

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Love that!!

[@HatfieldFilms]

I use AI as a tool, not a crutch...

[@whoseteatv3368]

❤❤❤

[@NegaLimbo]

So AI isn't evil and won't destroy the world?

[@RobsNeighbor]

I am out 100% AI sucks. any video I have tried its crap, writing a script its hilarious how it misses the mark on emotion. I will use it to get an outline going or help with a start. Otherwise its a waste of my time. Especially for my niche. I see through it, like all the AI channels that have fake voices, click off rate 100%

[@BriangjohnsonTv]

Hey, thanks Rob, appreciate you

[@RobsNeighbor]

@@BriangjohnsonTv It has its place and has helped me in the writing but I always end up frustrated and reverting back to what I started with just more frustrated. Love your work Brian!

[@SportsTymeStories-h8x]

Lets be real, the same ones complaining about will be the very first ones adopting it. Then making videos about it and or far worse. LOL.
