🔍 Why Use AI for YouTube?

AI dramatically escalates efficiency, scale, and consistency, enabling creators to:

• Automate scripting, voice narration, editing, and localization
   
• Produce content faster—what once took 6 hours can now be done in under 1 hour New York Post+5Kviz+5RedHub.ai+5New York Post

⚠️ Red Flags & Pitfalls

Reddit creators warn:

“I see a lot of … AI voice, stock video/images, and a ChatGPT script… I’d rather listen to a semi‑charismatic person vlogging…” RedditReddit
“Anytime a video with ai narration pops up, I dislike the video.” Reddit

This means:

• Fully automated content often fails to engage real audiences
   
• Robotic TTS without human personality gets filtered—or disliked

   • Use transitions, captions, and subtitles to support your voice
      
4. Post-Production Polish

2. Edit for your tone and include personal anecdotes
    
3. Generate voiceover using ElevenLabs or Murf
    
4. Build video in Pictory or InVideo—add visuals, music, and captions
    
5. Polish in Descript—sync voice, fine-tune cuts
    
6. Optimize title, tags, thumbnail using TubeBuddy/Canva
