Can You Monetize AI Videos?

I wanted to make an app that will create AI videos or Shorts that I can post on YouTube and get monetized and auto-post for me. Do you think it's possible? I do think it's possible. I just don't think it's a great idea. There's a lot of people out there saying like, here's how you can make AI faceless videos and make a ton of money. But to be real, like maybe 1% are actually doing well and making money. Like they still need a good storyline. They still need to be really visually appealing. There's still a lot of elements that make a video break out. I think most of the ones that actually do well, like the love Fruit Island, or Fruit Love Island, or whatever it's called, and the AI Italian brain rot, and those kinds of videos— a lot more thought, a lot more process, a lot more storytelling and, you know, thinking through go into it than most people realize. Now, they are lower effort than actually putting in the work to record a video, but there's still people that are figuring out the best models to make that stuff work. They're still doing a lot of testing and optimization. If you do want to explore it, I mean, you got VO 3.1, you've got Kling 3.0. You've got Opus Clip, which is great for clipping longer videos into short-form videos. You can use tools like N8N or have something like Cursor or Claude Code code you up a script that will automatically put the pieces together and publish them for you. There's lots of ways to do it. I just want to sort of give that disclaimer that I don't think most people are going to be successful doing that.
