Hey there!
So I gotta tell you something that has been blowing my mind lately. Remember when AI was this scary sci-fi thing that was gonna steal all our jobs? Yeah, well... plot twist. It is actually making me better at mine and its funn.
Meet my creative ai workflow
Let me break down my current AI lineup (and trust me, this changes faster than I can keep up):
ChatGPT is like having a smart friend who will talk to you forever. It's like fire, that level of transcendent level of achievement. I feed it pdfs and it helps me find the golden moments – quotes that make me go YES. Instead of scrubbing through hours of footage, I can pinpoint the good stuff pretty much right away.
Descript (which is basically iMovie on drugs) lets me edit video by editing text. They also have this feature as the writing of this, called Underlord, which is pretty great at making social clips.
Warp (which is like your terminal on drugs) enables you to have convesations with your own computer to have it actually do useful things, like build this whole website.
Sonnet (I was the biggest hater of Anthropic then I saw the ways). My favorite model now for coding and second for converation. Still love me some ChatGPT 4o.
Kling (how have they not been acquired) its an iphone app but its probably my most go-to one for any video and this is even after VEO3.
When it clicked for me
Here is what changed everything for me:
Before AI: Honestly, I would feel overwhelmed and just never complete the project. If its going to be a hassle, I just don't want to put energy into it. Call me new newfashioned, but I don't want to always have to plug in a cinema camera, or wire up a microphone. The thought of editing my own content has always been distasteful – I do it but i obsess over it.
With AI: Spend about an hour having a conversation, project leads you into mind expansion, and you finished it! Holy shit.
It's really that simple. Much prefer working this way.
