Here's my full prompt

Create a bold, high-energy YouTube thumbnail for the weekly AI news show ThursdAI, announcing an explosive week in AI news.

FORMAT: 16:9 YouTube thumbnail, 4K resolution, mobile-readable, high contrast, cinematic tech-news style.

HOST: Using the attached reference image of Alex Volkov, render him large on the LEFT side of the frame, occupying about 35–40% of the image. Keep his real facial features consistent with the reference: dark brown side-swept hair, short stubble/beard, blue eyes, expressive friendly face. He should look excited and slightly overwhelmed, like he’s reacting to a giant wall of AI announcements. Give him his signature yellow/gold bomber jacket with a subtle ThursdAI patch/logo. Pose: one hand raised like “holy shit, look at this week,” pointing toward the news explosion on the right.

THURSDAI BRANDING: Put the “ThursdAI” title prominently at the top-left or top-center. Use split coloring: “Thursd” in bold white and “AI” in coral pink #F87171, clean heavy sans-serif font. Make it crisp and readable.

DATE BADGE: Add a clean date badge near the top-right reading:

JUN 4, 2026

Use white text on a dark rounded rectangle with a coral accent border.

MAIN HOOK TEXT: Big bold thumbnail text, 2–4 words max:

AI NEWS EXPLODED

Make this huge, center-right, with white/yellow text, thick dark outline, slight glow, and strong drop shadow. It must be readable at tiny mobile size.

NEWS VISUAL CONCEPT: The right side should look like a futuristic “AI news blast board” or “exploding command center” — glowing cards, shards, neon panels, sparks, and data streams bursting outward from a central AI core. The week should feel overloaded, chaotic, and exciting — not messy, but packed.

Include 7 large, readable topic cards/pills around the explosion, each with a short label and simple icon. Use generic icons, not fake logos:

1. MAI MODELS — Microsoft / reasoning / code / image 2. RTX SPARK — local AI hardware / chip icon 3. NEMOTRON — NVIDIA model / brain-chip icon 4. HERMES DESKTOP — agent app / wolf-agent icon 5. MINIMAX M3 — open model / code brackets icon 6. GEMMA 4 — local multimodal model / laptop icon 7. OPEN IMAGE WARS — Ideogram + Reve / image icon

Keep each card short and legible. Do not use tiny paragraphs.

BACKGROUND: Dark ThursdAI-style tech gradient: deep purple-black, navy, and magenta glow. Add subtle circuit traces, AI waveform lines, floating UI panels, and sparks. Accent colors: coral pink #F87171, electric yellow/gold, cyan highlights, deep violet.

COMPOSITION: - Alex on left, expressive and photorealistic. - Giant hook text center-right. - News cards orbiting/exploding around the hook. - ThursdAI brand at top. - Date badge top-right. - No important text in the bottom-right corner because YouTube timestamp may cover it.

STYLE: Premium tech-news thumbnail, sharp, cinematic, high-CTR, like a mix of MKBHD polish, Bloomberg AI dashboard, and chaotic “breaking news” energy. Photoreal Alex, not cartoon, not plastic, not caricature.

TEXT ACCURACY: Render all visible text exactly: - “ThursdAI” - “JUN 4, 2026” - “AI NEWS EXPLODED” - “MAI MODELS” - “RTX SPARK” - “NEMOTRON” - “HERMES DESKTOP” - “MINIMAX M3” - “GEMMA 4” - “OPEN IMAGE WARS”

Avoid extra random text, fake logos, watermarks, unreadable microtext, or hallucinated brand names.
