Automating Shorts and Reels is an Illusion
(It all comes back to the humanities and arts)
I am not trying to criticize those who attempt “automation” through AI.
What I mean is people who think only in a simple, one-dimensional way, like, “Automating Shorts and Reels? That’s awesome! I’m going to make money with this!”
Let’s think about it really simply.
If you can do it,
why can others not?
——
Of course, even in the early 2010s when YouTube was becoming widely available, it was regarded as a red ocean.
“Ah, I should have done it back then…”
You’re right. It would have been good to have tried it then.
That is why trying automation using AI agents now would be a good experience.
However, going beyond that experience is another matter entirely.
——
It goes so far as to be obvious, but
the fact everyone overlooks is that in an era where AI creates content, the most important thing is ultimately something real, not AI.
Isn't that obvious?
- If over 90% is replaced by AI content,
- the remaining 10% of human content becomes a valuable resource and asset.
The more anyone and everyone can churn out content like Reels and Shorts using AI agents,
[My own unique experiences and sensibilities] will become increasingly important.
Even if AI creates 90%,
ultimately, the 10% of personal experience and humanities will make the difference.
——
Yes, we are currently in a transitional period.
Therefore, all content created using AI agents is indeed "alpha."
This is because there are still few people implementing it.
However, this won't last long. At some point, the number of people will multiply exponentially like a logarithmic chart, and eventually, mindlessly and easily automating things will become completely meaningless.
To exaggerate a little, methods for utilizing AI agents might even be included in the elementary school curriculum.
——
What I want to say is that you should enrich your "personal experiences," which ultimately make the biggest difference.
I am not saying that automating using AI agents is bad.
Ultimately, the next step is personal experience.
Don't get carried away by AI agents doing everything automatically; instead, you need to know how to utilize AI agents to expand your own experiences, acting as a supportive assistant or employee.
Nothing is automated.
It all comes back to the humanities. Because we are human.
Becoming a YouTuber who explains AI automation is easier than succeeding with AI automation itself.
(Most people are probably expanding their careers in this position for the short term.)
——
Bloggers, YouTubers, streamers
This is an undeniable truth that every industry has experienced.
It is easy to start for everyone.
However, because people don't do it, during the initial transitional period, simply attempting it made you an Alpha or a Pathfinder.
But at some point, the branding of "personal experience" eventually becomes important.
It is just like being an artist.
Everyone can paint, but you must become someone who can show something special among them.
Or perhaps there is the option of becoming a YouTuber who teaches how to become a YouTuber.
—
I am convinced that AI content will follow the same path.
It is a time when it is easy to start but nobody does it.
It is a time when Alphas and Pathfinders emerge, but
Ultimately, the ones who will survive are the artists.
(Or the teachers.)
So,
Don't get carried away by this "AI automation" nonsense and think it is invincible;
I believe you should become an "artist" who utilizes such "technology."
After all, in a few years, it will become a technology that everyone knows how to use.
Just like blog optimization or YouTube algorithms, you know.
(I heard elementary school kids these days all know how to code, too?)
—
Again, I am not criticizing the exploration and practice of AI automation.
It is simply because there are many people who get so engrossed in it that they forget the bigger picture…
