I think the whole thing with AI spiraled out of control. YouTube recently started banning content creators who were using AI generated fake videos of fake movie trailers. I think it is annoying and pretty bad because all those videos were also monetized, so not only generated by AI but also being a complete lie.
Personally I think of AI as a better version of a search engine, so it can find many things very fast, but aside of it everything what it dishes out has to be checked and curated.
For example I was searching what kind of a platform to use to expand on video creation and streaming, and I can say that many things AI found was wrong or outdated.
I also can say it is very hard to monetize for example on YouTube, it takes a lot of effort and it is very difficult to watch how a content you spent hours creating, editing and polishing goes unnoticed. It took me 6 months to get only tips on YouTube and I think about a year to get full monetization, so from that point of view I think that proof-of-stake is very grateful to work with.
Now, if I was smart enough to start working and making videos and live streams on HIVE that would be great. So far I was only successful doing that on YouTube.
I don't know how they can use AI for various things in here because what is relevant for me in written content, AI can completely skip, especially when it comes to summary of blog entries.
As for engagement you receive I think it is because you are involved in HIVE projects or/and you give your audience what they find interesting.
I see significant difference in my own content based on audience interest; some videos receive huge traffic because people want to see that, while other videos which I find personally more interesting, are flops because audience for that kind of content is very limited.
So far what I managed to do with AI is search me this or that and an image prompt for a poster. I have no idea how they make a full fledged video with all of that stuff.
