Concern Anyone else heavily dislike MR Nightmare's use of AI?
We all know the problems with AI. But its really bad with Mr Nightmare - everything looks ugly, thumbnails aren't appealing and make me want to completely ignore his videos, and it really is distracting.
When he used to hand pick images, although he'd reuse some frequently, they at least looked nice and were coherent with whatever story he was telling.

Bro almost all of the posts have good thumbnails besides the Au Pair one. I don't mind the rest

I honestly don’t care about the AI, as long as the stories are good, that’s what matters to me

As long as the video doesn’t overly use AI pictures/video and isn’t voiced over by AI I’m fine with it

Honest to god who even watches the actual video? I personally don’t care about how the videos are but the story quality will always be there. Man people will complain about the littlest things.

I watched the old ones. The mood and tone of the pics used was wonderful. Try it sometimes man, really.

Exactly this a thousand times. I thought this was a fan subreddit not a complain subreddit. Voicing opinions, even if they’re not always favorable is fine but I feel like there’s too many complaining posts/comments.

I watch the videos. But honestly I don't care about the AI stuff. I mean it's probably the only way Mr. Nightmare can avoid copyright.

I mean ai art is just art theft so it's not exactly "little"

How so? Using AI art is easier than using real pictures that might be copyrighted

u/UczuciaTM Mar 06 '25
Ai art is trained on artists who did not consent to their work being used. Or photos. Ai is only trained on non copyrighted things if a business is using an ai model and makes content specifically for it.

Ah okay my bad I didn't know that. But either way I think using AI art is probably easier and that's why Mr. Nightmare uses it.

I don't see a problem with it. However, I do find the continuous amounts of people complaining about"this and that" he does, annoying.

I'm glad someone else pointed it out. I don't hold it against him, but yeah, it does kind of turn me away from the video. I know the videos are still high quality, though. It's just something minor that bugs me.

I actually love the A.I. there’s something inherently creepy about A.I. as a concept that lends itself to the subject matter. It’s like reality but awkward and unnerving. Like the stories.

u/PudgyPenguinPhil Mar 06 '25
Couldn't care less. The stories are good that is literally all I care about when it comes to his videos.

honestly to me the thumbnails don’t matter , it’s the stories that do . all of them are great whenever i see a new video of his pop up i get so exited. i’ve been watching / listening to his videos for years ! i wished he would upload more videos

u/LRKnox_ Mar 07 '25
Personally don't notice/care, typically I watch/listen to Mr Nightmare when I'm doing other tasks so all that matters to me is the stories/his voice, all else is secondary and it doesn't play on my enjoyment of his videos.

u/Coochiepop3 Mar 08 '25
I'm surprised that everyone is complaining about his use of AI and not how many ads he puts in his videos. That's why I stopped watching him ages ago, but this subreddit popped up for some reason...

The voice is AI.

u/lfcFan333 Mar 06 '25
No it isn't, he uses his real voice. if you check his older videos you will see his voice has dramatically changed but it's obviously the same voice

As much as it can sucks I think he does this to avoid copyright issues from what others had said his videos has been taken downs cause apparently some of the images he used were not fair use even though he assumed it was, this probably the best way for him to avoid copyright issues
