PSAInsight Does Not Make Bosses Harder

It does not give them more health, it does not make them deal more damage, it does not change their movesets, and it does not improve their AI. It does not make your character deal less damage. This also applies to regular enemies except for the Cathedral Guardians. And only a few of them.
It DOES lower your Frenzy resistance. It does change some of the Cathedral Guardians in the Ward. It does allow you to see a certain eldritch horror. And it probably adds an enemy to Hemwick Charnel Lane. There may be other small additions like this we haven't noticed, but insight does not make the game harder with a blanket change.
A German Spy, who is a co-author of the official guide and has access to Fromsoft, has confirmed all of this in multiple streams. This also holds true when tested. I've tried it myself and plenty of others have as well.
It's getting a little tiresome seeing the misinformation being thrown around the sub in nearly every post that has anything to do with insight or difficulty. Though it will be common knowledge fairly soon, I suppose.
Edit: insight actually may not have anything to do with the Hemwick enemies
