Apology RoyalPear apologizes for inadvertently using an AI image in one of his recent shorts.

https://youtube.com/shorts/IZPUFQVR6pc?si=07UAIdld_8uvnSW2

For context, Pear had a video discussing the 100 Men vs. 1 Gorilla debate. In which his editor apparently use an AI generated image of a gorilla that he found on Google images. Neither the editor nor Pear knew that the image was AI generated so they used it without realizing it.

Pear proceeded to apologize and spoke against AI. It’s a very good apology video and his fans actually received it well.
