so now AI makes everyone a director, i guess

I just found out people are making these absolutely wild YouTube Shorts. And get this—they’re not using any gear. No fancy cameras, not even those overpriced ring lights that end up collecting more dust than a Roomba. Apparently, the trick is all in the AI, which I guess means that my toaster could technically direct the next viral video.

Who knew AI was just sitting there, ready to turn us all into miniature Spielbergs without the Spielberg cash? Supposedly, there’s this software that reads your mind (okay, not really, but it might as well) and makes something magical happen on screen. So here we are, no talent and all, making shorts that might just blow up overnight. Imagine, zero editing skills but still crafting these clips like some undercover genius. Crazy, right?

But let’s talk about the AI for a second. It’s supposed to be ‘powerful.’ Sure. By ‘powerful,’ do they mean it sketches out a masterpiece while you’re munching on cereal? If the AI learns to adjust the lighting and add just the right amount of irony that screams ‘2025 sci-fi trash,’ then yeah, that’s pretty powerful. And as an added bonus: no equipment required. I’ve spent more on guacamole than what this requires.

I saw this mind-blowing list of things AI can do now and it got me thinking: Could it soon pick out clothes that don’t make me look like a lost 90s sitcom character? Anyway, this AI wonders minefield is just making us rethink the whole ‘experience’ thing. Remember when you had to actually ‘know stuff’ to create things? Now, if only AI could make coffee. If only…

My eyes still hurt. I need to lay down. Ugh.
