A creator explains why he uses AI to generate images and B-roll instead of staging fake scenes or hiring people. He calls traditional content production contrived and wasteful, and says he'll keep working from his desk with AI assets.
Chapters
Not proud of it. Man enough to admit it. I use AI for a lot of images of myself, and I also use it for B-roll. I don't know, it's just me, but like, do you realize how kind of corny it has to be? I have to hire somebody or set up my camera and then pretend like I'm doing something to get B-roll of myself doing it. I'm not doing a content day where I pay somebody a couple grand to film me walking down a pier out by a lake and pretending that I'm on the phone talking. I'm just not fucking gonna do that. So I'm gonna rip AI. And sit at my fucking desk and click the keyboard and make money. I'm sorry, I can't. I can't be that guy.
