Excellent example of how to flood YouTube with low value, wasteful, uninspiring content. Supports my assertion that AI will likely trigger a race to the bottom driven by lazy, opportunistic schemers who want to do the *least work possible* to create the *most money* for themselves. Not an ideal mindset.
Completely agreed.
I agree. I appreciate the faith Gillian has in people to use this as a tool rather than their whole strategy, but just isn’t the reality we live in. People will use this to flood the market with low quality content.
@La Jourdanne I know people who are already doing this, and have for a few months (within a week or so of my AI video… they tried getting me to jump on the AI train). Flooding the market with low quality content is completely accurate. They won’t tell me how successful they’ve been though.
I prefer high quality videos and content.
This is awesome, thanks Gillian!
A couple of questions…
I heard that YouTube doesn’t like AI voiceovers. They will suspend your channel or, at the very least, you’ll never get monetized. Really, they just don’t like the whole AI thing at all, regardless of what type of AI you use. Is that not true? I sure hope they were wrong lol
Also, did you take the text straight from chatgpt or did you edit before adding it to the video?
Such a cool video! I kept saying “what?!” the entire time 😂
I have not read this anywhere or heard it from my YouTube advisor. YouTube prefers content (and promotes content) that people enjoy watching. AI voiceovers can potentially take away from that… but often they don’t. People love watching TikToks with AI voiceovers. 🙂 And as AI voiceovers continue to get better, they’ll probably just get more agreeable. Of course, though, there’s nothing like hearing from a real person!
I appreciate your positive comment! 😊
Youtube hasn’t said they have anything against AI voiceovers, and I’m not aware of anyone being unable to monetize for that reason. Definitely worth doing not research on, though — and it will be interesting to see how this shapes up over the next year or two.
And no, I didn’t edit chatgpt’s scripts at all in this case, since the challenge was to use only AI. 🙂
I get fed a lot of videos that are obviously Ai generated or have Ai voiceover and they will have many thousands of views, so I am not sure that is correct. You see a lot of these in the motivation category.
First!! I am a small YouTuber just starting out and thank you always for your amazing content!! 🙂
Thanks for this video 😃🔥
It’s crazy what’s possible even with the small amount of effort I put into this AND the constrains of using only AI tools for the sake of this challenge. Imagine what you could do with just a little more time and effort + the option to use your full creativity!! I really look forward to seeing what people create with these fascinating new tools!
I think it’s a little dangerous to put out videos on how to create low quality content. There are so many scammers out there looking for get rich quick schemes. Most people don’t have the information literacy levels to do this well. And they surely don’t understand the ethical and legal ramifications (such as copyright and licensing).
Without fully explaining how to use AI ethically, this just seems like a way to create a bubble that will burst and ruin the content creation market (like when low content books took over Amazon).
Maybe teaching strategy or tactics would be a more ethical and sustainable move here.
Forks don’t make people fat. 🙂 These are just tools — it’s up to individuals how they choose to use them. Of course I hope people use them for good!!
That’s some great stuff
Did you verify the information from ChatGPT before creating a video and telling it to the world? How do you know the information you’re sharing is real? Didn’t a lawyer get in trouble for using cases provided by ChatGPT that never existed?
Great point! In this case, I was already familiar with the information, so I didn’t need to. But, if course, that’s always an important step when creating content!
Actually I disagree. You shouldn’t be interrogated in this condescending tone about your process. One can ask if you validated the info but not in this rude tone. As a health professional, a spirit of collaboration is more important to me than the validity of the info you have about the history of ATLANTIS (of all cities)…
@FunDas I asked straight forward questions and she responded. There was absolutely nothing rude about it. I’m glad she is not as sensitive as you, because we probably wouldn’t be blessed with her continuous presence on YouTube if she was!
What a great point you bring up! Because of our relationship with Google and other search engines, I think we relate to ai in the same way. But we absolutely cannot assume everything ai tells us is correct. I personally work with ai a lot in my business, and I caught it telling a go-along-to-get-along lie! I was like, “did you just LIE to me?” It did.
@Tara S. Thank you for your input! We all need to be aware of this in order to use AI responsibly.
Isn’t using AI generated content against YouTube’s terms of service? Even if you get away with it, you’d never get monetised. Something to consider.
Do you have a source for that? I’m yet to see anything to that effect. 🙂
@Gillian Perkins Looks like Google (YouTube’s parent company) changed it’s rules earlier this year so that it now doesn’t automatically consider all AI generated content as ‘spam’ so I assume YouTube did the same as I now can’t find anything. Seems like I’m out of date. However, here are three ways that AI generated content can get into difficulty even if it isn’t explicitly stated that YouTube doesn’t allow it:
1. It’s very unreliable in it’s accuracy. I’ve tried it for both Music Theory and TOGAF and it got every single answer wrong. You would have to know the topic to know it was wrong because it sounded reasonable but it was wrong. YouTube doesn’t like unreliable info so you’ll, overtime at least, fall down the rankings. Try it yourself with a minorly obscure topic you have an in depth knowledge of to see.
2. It isn’t truly original, AI scrapes form a very large data store or the web and basically mushes stuff together. The various generative AIs are already falling foul of copyright law and there are cases being brought against some of them. Copyright issues are taken quite seriously by YouTube. Google it to find numerous references some of them even reliable.
3. Most people don’t like listening to computer generated voices. That will limit grow potential, people won’t stick around or subscribe when there’s a channel with the same topic doing it the old fashion way. Ask around people you know to see if you can find any that likes listening to a computer generated voice. Assuming your sample is somewhat representative of your target audience you’ve got your answer.
That doesn’t mean you can’t use AI at all, you just need to use it in a smart way. For example use it to generate a list of key points to make sure you capture all the key points in your video or use it to help make your titles sound more engaging etc.
Soon we’re going to be like the people in Wall-E LOL
I know, right?? 🤪
This will definitely help my current projects
The best thing about this video is that you “disguised” the sponsorship – that’s the real mvp – this the best video I’ve seen playing on people’s hopes haha
It’s legitimately a great tool. 🙂 No disguise necessary — just showed it for what it was! 🙂
I know they are different products but I have been looking at Descript because I would be narrating videos and clients would be narrating but I guess these could be used in combination
Yes, for sure! I really enjoy using Descript and could easily imagine using it in combination with these other tools.
I appreciate that there are many controversial opinions/ramifications on this topic, but there is no denying that this was a FASCINATING example. Thank you, Gillian!
Absolutely! Thanks for your positive feedback. ❤
As a creative AI frightens me how true-skilled creatives will be pushed aside or replaced by a glut of work noncreative users will have machines produce. Prolific AI users dependent on AI will flourish because AI will make them look good, as if a creator, but many skills in the world will atrophy and the population of creators, with skills, be dumbed down by AI dependent creators.
It’s definitely a concern. I don’t think there’s anything we can do to stop it, though, so I’m trying to be positive about it, embrace it, see it as a powerful tool… and trust that true human creativity can never be replaced. ❤
Nope. Perhaps as you explore ai more you will reconsider this limiting perspective. Ai is just leverage. Leverage in any business is wonderful, and can be used in a variety of ways. One can use leverage to replace one’s work and then one can just sit around, “atrophy,” and be lazy … OR, one can use ai as leverage to help them accomplish things at speed that used to take up so much time. I honestly don’t need to write every single sales page word for word—that take so much time! Now ai can write me 20 sales pages in a few moments, and I can choose and tweak the best one. It allows us to create way more quickly. That’s my experience. Don’t be scared!
I think it is fascinating what AI can create. I have experimented with Text to image in Canva, Playground Ai (recently shutdown), Leonardo AI and Blue Willow. The future is AI and in different forms and will just have to see where it takes us. I have also tested out ChatGPt and it is interesting what it can do. Thanks for sharing this Gillian. Would love to see other videos like this.😀
Couldn’t agree more! ❤
This process was wild to see from start to finish! Thanks for sharing, Gillian. Still not sure how to feel about AI. 🤣
You and me both!
Great video and very detailed. I have not had luck with InVideo as it’s super slow and glitchy. is there a different software you would recommend?
Hmm, it works fine for me. Maybe it’s your computer?
I personally use Adobe Premiere Pro for my videos. If you’re looking for something simpler then you can check out Canva’s new editor, or Adobe Premier Rush. Both solid options!
This is a great and very helpful video. Thanks! ❤
So glad! ❤️
