The big unlock in what you’re saying is that AI doesn’t save work at the start, it just changes the shape of the work. People think “type prompt, get channel,” but the real grind is iterating on format, character, and constraints until you have something that’s both weird and familiar enough to stick. Your 70/30 uniqueness/relatability split matches what I’ve seen: the stuff that works feels slightly off from the norm, not fully alien.
Where a lot of AI creators blow it is they optimise for volume, not for a repeatable “world” that viewers recognise in 0.5 seconds. If someone can’t describe your page in one line, it’s not an asset yet. I’d add: track series-level performance, not individual videos, so you know which worlds are worth scaling.
For testing ideas, tools like Opus Clip and Descript are decent for chopping and remixing, and I’ve been using Pulse for Reddit mainly to see what concepts actually resonate in niche subreddits before I sink time into a new short-form series.
