The word “rule” is often defined as a control or domination over space. When a new system appears, it resists the rules. They represent limitations.
Consider the early internet. In the 1980s and 1990s, forums, chat rooms and file sharing sites flourished in a no-rule zone. I went to anything and almost opposed it. But growth has brought problems: spam, cybercrime, harassment, piracy demanded order. Inevitably, groundbreaking policies such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (1998) and the General Data Protection Regulation (2018) have emerged.
The advantages of AI
AI is boldly revolutionizing the way creators make videos. In pre-production, chatbots can spin simple prompts into the outline of the script, honing the language for a variety of viewers, and verifying that the content serves the intended purpose.
Plus, storyboarding is faster with placehold characters, technology that provides the ability to draft settings, and can even be encouraged to flag when the visuals waft away from the original creative vision.
In post-production, video editing software has embedded AI-powered features to handle tasks such as audio leveling, noise reduction, and editing streamlining. The use of these AIs is mostly acceptable. According to Techsmith's 2024 Viewer Trends report, 75% of respondents accept video content created with the help of artificial intelligence.
The real opportunity is to use AI as a companion, not as a replacement
However, AI-powered tools can make impressively accurate guesses about what their creators want, but at the end of the day, they still speculate. Efficiency and creative shortcuts are valuable, but they do not replace the human instincts that drive great storytelling.
The real opportunity is to use AI as a companion, not as an alternative. If creators stick to that mindset, they not only make the most of these tools, but also avoid pending restrictions associated with inevitable guardrails and excessive reliance.
Ensure creative control
Psychologist Mark A. Ranko defines creativity as an original and effective idea. By that standard, there is too much trend in AI, taking risks to creators who make AI creative. AI can give you a head start, but it should never direct a complete story.
In creative video work, quality is increasing efficiency. Such a study from Goldman Sachs shows 25% productivity bumps when using AI, but it doesn't always get faster and better. Relying heavily on AI can result in content that is common, flat or cut off from the brand's voice and value.
Creators bring a unique perspective that AI cannot simply replicate. Their personal voice, storytelling style and living experience really resonate with their audience. Relying on AI is one that tends to produce content that is in the middle of the road, and is clearly “average” and does not always match the creator's goals, context, or audience.
A smarter play is when creators pay upfront to set up their AI workflow. After all, your unique brand voice is the soul of your content.
Coupled with this, creators can protect their own uniqueness and ensure credibility by refusing to publish anything without double or triple checking their work. This careful review process not only catches errors, but also preserves the original voice and perspective of the creator, preventing AI-generated suggestions from diluting content.
The aforementioned Techsmith study found that people accept AI content, but 90% still express concern about its accuracy. By doing this, the creators can maintain their voice, ensuring that the content is authentic and resonates with the audience.
AI doesn't know who it is creator
AI doesn't know who it is. They don't understand the context they bring, they don't recognize the subtleties and nuances that make their work really great. From spark inspiration to providing analytics, AI can be an incredible partner, but we shouldn't fall into the trap of being content with what it produces.
What makes creators invaluable is their expertise, perspective, and ability to speak directly to audiences in ways that machines can't. Therefore, the challenge for creators is to ensure authenticity is at the forefront and center, while using AI as a tool. That is what separates creators who endure from people who are actively or retroactively targeted by AI-imposed regulations.
