This GPT Update Will Change The Thumbnail Game.
In case y'all haven't seen yet, ChatGPT just pushed an update yesterday that has massively improved it's ability to generate images. Not only are the quality of images it generates higher, but it's gotten a lot better at understanding what you want from natural language as opposed to stuffing keywords and overprompting. Here are some examples it generated for me in one shot. "Make me into an old greek statue, full white background" "Recreate this image in the style of a Studio Ghibli anime, and also make me a part monkey part man hybrid." (this one was my favorite haha) Another noticeable new upgrade is that it can actually generate real words consistently instead of hallucinating a bunch of pseudo-text characters (see poster example) You can pretty much make whatever HQ custom assets you want now by typing out a sentence. Any ideas that pop out for you initially?

Roast My Intro
Title: If I Had to Build a YouTube for My Business From Scratch in 90 Days, Here’s What I’d Do It Using Ai If I had to start a YouTube channel for my business from scratch, here’s exactly what I’d do—and I’d get it profitable in 90 days or less. Most business owners waste months posting random videos that get no views, no leads, and no revenue. I’m going to show you the AI-powered system I’d use to grow faster, with less effort. Follow this 90-day roadmap, and you’ll have a YouTube channel that attracts leads, builds authority, and grows your business—without wasting time on things that don’t work. I’m going to break this down step by step, so if you’re serious about making YouTube work for your business, let’s get into it.

I'll add one more thing (that I know I bring up all the time) but I try to script with the idea that you are talking to a friend in your kitchen. Imagine a buddy is over, you go to the fridge and grab him a beer and you hand it to him, you cheers and you want to tell him something call you've been working on... HOW WOULD YOU SAY THAT? I think we spend too much time on youtube scripting with focus on the hook/the intro/gotta grab them, etc.. it's absolutely important, but nobody wants to be talked AT, they want to be talked TO.

@Sam Dantona also see my additional comment. You can opt out of this. I don't think this is going to hurt established channels that manage their videos closely. This is more to, hopefully, help other channels optimize automatically.

@Sam Dantona I was speaking to the tweet that was shared because his overall point was "Starting May 12th YouTube will no longer let Creators manually place Ads wherever they want in their videos". Which isn't true. That being said, the point you are making is very valid. Curious, for those channels, do they allow automatic ads or do they place them manually?
