About ten days ago I decided to run an experiment — I launched a new YouTube channel where everything is made with AI. The scripts, voices, visuals, and editing are all AI-generated. The channel focuses on Shorts, because I wanted to see how far AI can go in short-form storytelling and commentary.

The main tools I’m using right now are Sora2 and Flow + Veo3.1.

Flow + Veo 3.1

Sora2 is what got me hooked — it made me realize how ridiculously easy video generation has become. You can literally take a random idea in your head and see it come alive on screen in minutes. That sense of creative freedom was addictive.

But once I started making more complex stuff — multi-character scenes, transitions, or short dramas — I hit Sora2’s limits. That’s when I pulled out Flow + Veo3.1. I’ll probably keep switching between them and test which one fits different scenarios best.

Here’s the thing though: making videos with AI isn’t some “get rich quick” magic trick.

If you just hit generate without thinking, filtering, or spending a bit for quality, what you’ll get is pure garbage — and no one will watch it. AI saves time, but it doesn’t save you from bad taste.

In the past, I never thought about writing or directing anything. Building a real team to shoot even a simple skit costs too much — actors, cameras, editing, coordination, everything adds up fast.

But now, with these tools, I can finally dream. I can take an idea, write a few lines, and watch it become a real scene. It feels like being a one-person studio.

A few things I’ve learned so far:

1. AI content still needs curation. Lazy prompts = lazy results.
2. Money and effort still matter. You get what you pay for, both in tools and in creativity.
3. My role has changed. I used to be the performer on my YouTube channel. Now I’m the writer and director, and the AI is my cast and set.
4. Tools are temporary. Ideas are not. AI will keep evolving, but storytelling is still the core of it all.

I’m planning to keep this going for at least a month — shoot for 100 Shorts, track what works, what doesn’t, and see which tools actually deliver.

Here’s what my current YouTube stats look like after 10 days:

It’s small, but seeing real people discover and comment on AI-generated stories is motivating.

Anyone else here running a fully AI-powered channel? What tools are you using, and how’s it going?
