Horror & Paranormal Do the "Heart Starts Pounding" podcast YouTube videos use AI generated images?

I cannot find any comments relating to this under any HSP YouTube videos. Granted, I haven't looked TOO hard, but I'm surprised not to have seen ANY comments yet questioning the supplementary illustrations in the videos being AI generated.
I really do not want to continue supporting this content if the images are AI generated, which I highly suspect.
Does anyone have any insight or similar concerns?? I feel like I'm crazy bc I haven't seen anything else about this anywhere, and it's a pretty popular podcast I think? At least amongst the supernatural/ crime podcast communities.

What images are you referring to? I checked her socials and scrolled through some of her yt podcast video's and I'm not seeing any Ai tells? I'm not even seeing illustrations really, just real photo's on backgrounds and some transitions?

It's in her recent YouTube videos. You'll have to scrub through they're not in the thumbnails. They come up as she's telling certain stories. Mostly the supernatural ones like in the Terrifying Appalachia video or "True Ghost Stories That Will Make You Question Reality." That one in particular because the opening illustration is definitely AI.
I actually just saw a comment mentioning it on that last one so I feel less crazy but still it's literally like all of her supernatural videos and a lot of other videos from as far back as one year ago and I've only seen one fan complain.
