AI has definitely raised the standard, not lowered it. The same way cameras got cheaper and editing software became more accessible. The bar for what’s considered “good” content just keeps moving up.
The truth is, two people can use the exact same AI tool and get completely different results. Someone with a strong creative foundation will use AI to amplify their ideas and workflow. Someone without it will just end up producing more of the same generic noise, just faster.
AI is incredible at the technical parts like trimming, captioning, color correction, even rough structuring, but it still can’t replicate good taste, storytelling, pacing, or emotional depth. That’s why even with all this automation, great creators are still the ones standing out.
Personally, I use AI in editing the same way I use it in ideation: as a tool for structure and speed, not for creativity. It helps me move faster so I can spend more time on stuff that really matters like concept, direction, and storytelling.
Right now we’re seeing a massive shift in accessibility. Mediocrity might be scalable, but originality still wins and good creators have more tools to become even better.
