AI replacing video editors

0:00 I think that's the illusion. When you're not actually in that special field, you think that it's easy to replace, like what you said about lawyers. It's the same thing with video editors. The creativity is always there, the innovation. So yeah, the mundane task will be done by the AI, but that's not the creative part. That's not the fun part. That's not the part what people are looking for. And that part still stays. And I have personal experience as well, but I will do next year. I was using Descript a while back, maybe a year or two ago, and it was exactly supposed to replace video editors because you can just edit just by typing or using it like a Word document editor and copy-pasting words and doing stuff like that. But then you suddenly realize that if you want to do it in a proper way, if you want to have a quality production, then you need to be able to control more.

0:56 And that's... That wasn't actually what you could do with that thing. Obviously, it will become better, but there's always the level where you don't want to... Or the AI is not sophisticated enough to do that. So I would say it's the same thing as with the Copilot. Yeah, there's going to be more coders. There's going to be more video editors because so many people can do it, but it will not replace it. The most boring stuff, yes, but that's absolutely fine.
