To add to my discussion, if #CEOs should #fire their software developers. Should #CEOs and #VPofMarketing fire their #creative teams? Why not? I came up around https://studio.invideo.io at random. I only typed “Northern Nevada Prosperity due to Manufacturing,” and AI-generated the script, arranged the text, selected videos, and did the work. I have spent exactly 5 seconds typing the prompt.

The video itself is okay, with some editing, and such EDAWN or a similar organization can churn out those videos in no time.

Video created

And the cost? For $180 per year, you can have lots of stuff, which before would cost you a lot. I used to work for a social video startup, and from the nuts and bolts of running such a cloud op, I can tell you — it is expensive, and it is a hassle. But now — nothing stops any #marketing major from getting their #creative agency going. Or is it? Will #AI stop such endeavors? While in the next couple of years, the line between AI and humans might be blurry, in 3 to five years, there will be no creative jobs for the “general” market, but I think original ideation and creation will be prized at millions of dollars ( more on it later) .

I asked the robot ( chatGPT, as hugging face and llama2 and others raised some concerns about the % of BS they produced in test trials). Here is what is said ( I mark the robot’s text as a quote to differentiate from my original thinking).

The advent of video-generated AI has the potential to disrupt various industries and professions. However, it’s important to note that while some jobs may be significantly impacted, they may not necessarily “go out of style” entirely. Here’s a list of professions that could be affected:

1. News Anchors
- **Reasoning**: AI can generate video news reports in real-time, tailored to individual viewer preferences. This could reduce the need for human anchors.

2. Actors
- **Reasoning**: AI-generated characters can be used in movies, TV shows, and advertisements, reducing the need for human actors.

3. Customer Service Representatives
- **Reasoning**: Video AI can handle customer interactions in a more human-like manner than text-based chatbots, potentially replacing human customer service reps.

4. Salespeople
- **Reasoning**: Virtual sales assistants can provide product demos, answer questions, and even upsell products, reducing the need for human sales staff.

5. Training Instructors
- **Reasoning**: AI can provide personalized training videos on-demand, reducing the need for human instructors in settings like corporate training or fitness classes.

6. Tour Guides
- **Reasoning**: Virtual tour guides can provide interactive, customized experiences that are more scalable than human-guided tours.

7. Vloggers/Influencers
- **Reasoning**: AI can generate content based on viewer preferences and trends, potentially outpacing human content creators in volume and personalization.

8. Telemarketers
- **Reasoning**: AI can make sales calls that are indistinguishable from human callers, potentially making telemarketing more efficient but less reliant on human workers.

9. Video Editors
- **Reasoning**: AI can automatically edit video footage based on pre-set criteria, reducing the need for human video editors for certain types of content.

10. Language Translators
- **Reasoning**: Real-time video translation can be done by AI, reducing the need for human translators in video content.

11. Sign Language Interpreters
- **Reasoning**: AI can generate sign language interpretations in real-time, reducing the need for human interpreters.

12. Weather Reporters
- **Reasoning**: AI can generate weather reports based on real-time data, reducing the need for human weather reporters.

13. Personal Shoppers/Stylists
- **Reasoning**: AI can provide personalized fashion advice and even “try on” clothes virtually, reducing the need for human personal shoppers and stylists.

14. Makeup Artists for Media Production
- **Reasoning**: Virtual makeup can be applied in post-production, reducing the need for makeup artists on set.

15. Public Speakers
- **Reasoning**: AI-generated avatars can deliver speeches, reducing the need for human public speakers for certain events.

It’s worth mentioning that while AI has the potential to replace certain jobs, there are ethical, social, and technical challenges that must be addressed. Additionally, new jobs are likely to be created as a result of these technological advancements.

Btw, they offered 25% off which I did bait on, but for whatever reason while the purchase amount via Stripe showed me I am buying it for $125, the final payment still came up at $180 ( for a year). I might cancel it, as I really do not like when businesses do bait and switch tactics and are not ethical when it comes to operations.

As a human with thoughts, ideas, and emotions, I do not know how I feel about it. I remember our little startup in Palo Alto on California Avenue trying to make video creation easy for humans, and my data analysis of the product ( and revenue) did not support such claims. However, now, ten years later, with AI in vogue, I myself will have an opportunity to make a documentary I have always wanted to make; to share my ideas with the world. It does open gazzilion of opportunities for the brave new world, and it does take a lot from what we currently have. Who and what will win?

Regarding the jobs which will be lost. My daughter is in a journalist club at school right now. There will be a Conference in Boston for the kids and perhaps we will get a chance to attend. I wonder what the organizers of that conference will tell teenagers who want to write and create? Will they be allowed to do so in ten years when they are done with college?

What do you think about human rights to creativity and what robots can ( allowed) to take from us?
