Eric Siu shows how to skip traditional designers and editors by using ChatGPT to generate thumbnails and produce videos fast. He calls it newsjacking: reacting to the Opus 4.8 release by cutting out the middleman and shipping content immediately.
I was publishing something today where it's like a newsjacking thing because Opus 4.8 came out. I'm like, man, I can't publish it today because like my video editor is not available. Our thumbnail person can't get it out that quickly. And you know what happened, Neil? I just published this. Yeah. It looks pretty good. My point is like there should be no excuses now. Like I think if someone like you and me, because we're more business operators than creators, but we're still creators. If I want to react to a video quickly, I have a viewpoint on it. I'm just going to take what videos I have. I'm going to use ChatGPT images and I'm just going to crank it out. I think this solves a lot of problems. We'll just leave it at that.
