The LAZY World of AI Thumbnail Games
Ойындар
The most important thing about attracting new players are the thumbnails associated with your game. So what happens when you decide not to make one, or even hire someone to make one? You get lazy games using AI to make images for their games. Join me and Bitti as we talk about 9 games that use this, and how they're good or bad.

Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system developed by Roblox Corporation that allows users to program games and play games created by other users. Created by David Baszucki and Erik Cassel in 2004 and released in 2006, the platform hosts user-created games of multiple genres coded in the programming language Lua.
This video is about playing games with AI images used for their game icons and thumbnails. I discuss how the games that they are used in are lazy, along with the controversial use of them in the first place.
My channel is about taking about various types of Roblox games, with most of them being subpar or in a content farm genre; alongside characters Starism and Bitti going on adventures in several other Roblox games.

Little kids get fooled by ai thumbnails they don’t know what this game is gonna be good or bad but they play this many times or even gambling these’d eggs for a rare pet.
i just realized a smart idea for those who aren't good at icon layouts: create an ai generated prompt, and then use the general layout of the icon to remake it in roblox studio.

flood escape 2 used an ai icon but they changed it back to a real one in like 2 days luckily
Finally somebody who agrees. Every time I make a game with my friends they always want to use ai to make the ui or the thumbnail but I always have to push back because ai thumbnails just radiate “I don’t care about this game”
the princess fighter game u played was basically a direct copy of sword fighters simulator which is overly saturated as there’s been like atleast 10 of these games w the same mechanics for 2 years now
Honestly, my mindset with these AI thumbnail games are "If the thumbnail is lazy, the game must be lazy as well"

i once saw some thomas games with ai thumnails once
The intro screams quality
Yipeee JTOH again :D
The funny coincidence is that I actually play the 5th game he reviewed in this video, also, if I'm correct the developer's first language is not English due to some of the spelling.
This is why AI gets used so much because people are lazy to do stuff
Starism, you're about to have one *HELL* of a time in those *towers* made by *Juke.*
I saw this game called sinking ship with an AI icon with the Titanic sinking with people swimming
best intro ever
7:13 I actually played this one and I found out that the game does more than just be a tycoon as you can play minigames and races to help kill time spent waiting for your tycoon to generate more money. The races are mediocre at best. They have a leaderboard so they can be some source of fun while waiting for your tycoon to make more money but while the go-kart and air stunt races reward you for finishing with fast enough times, The boat race rewards you with nothing. The minigames however are mostly miss. The only good one is the skydiving one since you have to go through rings on your way down and it actually feels unique. The rest mostly suck because rather than having unique control schemes they all either have you timing your spacebar presses to set aim and power or spam it to set power. Not only is the game's use of AI look lazy in comparison to the 1st resort tycoon which kept the AI to a bare minimum but most of it's minigames are lazy.

I'm surprised that "Survival Stories" here isn't here but alright, we don't need all ai thumbnails games I talk about it because it's somewhat popular. Like 2k players or more-less
Idk why my prison turned to ai thumbnail,but it’s doing fairly well. The gameplay is something I haven’t seen in roblox My prison is a pretty good game ignoring the ai thumbnail

Starism has decided to turn Bittis recommended into Chernobyl instead of his it seems whys he on Bittis account 😃👍
if you do a part 2 make sure to add card battles
You can tell if it’s AI because it has that certain style and lighting, not to be confused with stuff like the pretty good Fight in a School thumbnail that had the lighting
Fun fact, some of these are actually breaking TOS with having unstated rng things.

even sinking ship flopped, the guy who made yes, SHIPPING LANES did an ai thumbnail.
Lets never forget the fact that roblox kept aiming for Artificial Intelligence and the "METAVERSE" (Y'know that thing where stupid people went crazy over pngs, and bitcoins and crypto currency and all that FUTURE Junk.) We have a literal AI helper in studio now, AI generation for Materials, and now AI generated Game Thumbnails. It's very obvious that roblox is still trying to achieve that "metaverse" status even when they said they left it..

In my opinion, AI thumbnails are completely fine if you're a starter developer. How else are you supposed to make thumbnails? What if you're bad at making them, or can't afford to hire an artist? AI provides a tool for people who aren't artistically talented or cannot afford an artist to make thumbnails. Of course there's always the developer that uses AI because they're actually lazy, but this shouldn't always be assumed. An experience may seem low quality, but there's the chance that it was because it was made by a starter dev. Some people also say AI is a tool built on theft, but it's only analyzing the images. There'll most likely be no traces whatsoever in the final product to the images used, because AI doesn't directly copy it. You could say it's "inspired" by the images. The thumbnails AI provides are, of course, better than a horrible drawing in MS Paint, and even better than nothing. So please, stop automatically assuming these developers are lazy. A lot of them aren't.

You know i saw a reddit post that someone left their 11k robux account with their younger sibling and they spent it all, i thought it was absurd but these games that are specifically made for children that have 100 different insanely expensive gamepasses makes me realize how i was insanely wrong
I think it’s so ironic that starving artists a game about art literally has an ai thumbnail
okay so someone is instantly lazy JUST cause they have a a.i thumbnail? what if the game is okay/good, are they still lazy? or is it just completely situational
15:10 naw that ain't thomas the tank engine that's tommy the totally original blue engine train
I feel like they should make it so that it’s illegal to use A.I. For your unless it’s supposed to be directly known by everyone that sees/hears it or if it’s approved by the government.
Make an video about roblox games based on other games
Resort tycoon 2 predecessor Resort Tycoon 1 dosen't use ai and also later in the game is it quite fun.
