A 27-year-old South African vlogger, Kurt Caz, is being slammed for using AI-generated thumbnails in his recent video to manipulate audiences and generate clicks. Critics claim he altered a scene from the video to create a provocative thumbnail with malicious intent.
Caz has been accused of lying about filming on Oxford Street in London and altering digital boards behind him to display Arabic and Devanagari scripts, while also adding a ski mask to an unsuspecting man’s face. Many viewers have criticized his anti-immigration themes and provocative content, which they say go against the platform’s community guidelines.
The YouTuber has been accused of using clickbait thumbnails and altering scenes for the sake of generating views, rather than showcasing genuine adventures. His actions have sparked a heated debate on social media platforms, with many calling him out for his “irresponsible” and “disgusting” behavior.
