I’ve been studying AI videos for a long time, and I finally decided to give it a shot myself. Forget red fruits, I’ve even reverse-engineered yellow fruits. But honestly, unless you’re doing something like yellow fruit content to charge membership fees, it’s not easy to make a profit with regular AI short dramas. There are just too many open-source tools available now. Plus, instead of buying GPUs, a lot of people are renting computing power. I did some rough calculations, and in the early stages, renting is more cost-effective. You can test one or two episodes, and if they don’t make money, you can just stop. The costs aren’t too high. But if you buy GPUs yourself, the initial investment can be a bit steep. Also, many software tools now have “Chinese” versions that are free and even remove some restrictions, which makes them pretty handy. While they might not be suitable for large-scale commercial operations, they’re totally fine for making a 3-minute short video. This has lowered the barrier to entry significantly, and in no time, we’re going to see a flood of AI scripts, AI directors, and AI editors. At first, audiences might find it fresh and exciting, but after watching for a while, they might just prefer live streams instead.
