Recently, AI-based video production systems have been booming, but it's impossible to ignore the technical and ethical issues behind them all. Is there a risk of replacing human labor, or is it just a supplementary tool? How are costs changing, and is the performance really as promised? In your opinion, how will this technology reflect on the masses in the future? What are the pros and cons of this technology for both content creators and viewers?
How genuinely useful is the AI video revolution?

Last month while working on a reefing project, I tried out an AI tool recommended by one of my editors on YouTube. Instead of using classic software to combine clip segments, I gave "Runway ML" a shot. The tool dynamically changed the background in my video and automatically adjusted the framing by trimming the audio. The result was better than I expected; what took me 3 hours with AI would have taken at least 12 hours manually.
But what kept me up that night wasn’t the project—it was something else. After the final render, I noticed that the AI’s "blink" effect was off. The character’s eyes weren’t closing where they were supposed to. I fixed it manually, but it left me with the feeling that AI still can’t fully replace human skill. Cost-wise, the monthly subscription ($8) was cheaper than other premium editors, but quality and control still lagged behind.
I’m sure these tools will improve over time, but for now, I think they’ll serve more as a supportive role rather than completely replacing human effort. Have any of you had similar experiences?
