Tested 5 AI content creation tools and honestly most disappointed me
Posted by on November 5, 2025 at 2:01 pmSpent the last two months trying jasper, copy.ai, hootsuite's ai features, later, and blotato because I was tired of spending entire days on social content.
Jasper writes well but it's pricey and you still need to edit everything heavily. Copy.ai has good templates but the output feels samey after a while. Hootsuite's ai stuff is honestly pretty basic, feels tacked on. Later has beautiful templates but if you need video or apis you're out of luck.
Ended up with blotato mostly because it doesn't try to do the writing for you, just handles the reformatting and distribution. Still has some quirks but the video support and api access made sense for what I needed.
Anyone else go through this testing phase? Feels like every tool promises the world and delivers like 60% of it.

Yes! I have been trying to find a tool that would help edit together videos from clips. No luck. Most AI video tools want to *generate* the clips for you, but I don’t want to use AI clips; I want to use my own. Plus, some of them are so expensive that it doesn’t even seem worth it to try. I was trying InVideo, but to generate what I wanted, it would cost $150. I don’t have that kind of money to throw at every video.
I also tried the paid Claude because it was supposed to be better than ChatGPT… but I actually liked ChatGPT’s writing style better.
AI is helpful for research and caption writing, but not helpful yet for things I actually need in content creation.

Yup, I tried some platforms as well and ended up creating posts in Canva instead. Can’t find a good AI tool to generate UGC content

I mean AI is pretty much just a giant grift so I’m not surprised.

Promises but rarely delivers? Welcome to AI mediocrity.

Here’s what most people don’t understand about AI right now you need to think of AI and tears and the AI that most people think of being amazing it could do a lot of work. Those algorithms are behind lock doors. They are with the governments there with the companies that are in works with the government because of the strongest version of AI and they need to be secretly kept Version algorithms. We all get experience to every day and for the public are no better than an infant. But you also don’t understand how they work if you look at ChatGPT ChatGPT is a great example. If you’re trying to use it for storytelling the more you stay in one channel the better your AI will get at knowing exactly what you want Exactly how you want it. But what most people understand is how that AI model works. And most of these ChatGPT and ChatGPT copies work the exact same way when you have these channels get created, you can create multiple channels, but when you when you stay within one channel and just keep asking question after question about a certain topic, you will eventually get a better understanding because your AI will have more info to learn off of and know what it is. You’re actually looking for know how you liked your answers to be told that kind of thing What you don’t know is that every time you send a question in that channel, let’s say you’ve already asked 50 questions. You’ve already gotten 50 answers you now have a 51st questions so it’s just another question to you when you send that 15 first question to you you’re seeing that you’re sending one question But what you’re actually doing is you’re sending all 51 questions with 50 answers to the AI to get tokenize and for the AI model language share to read everything spit out the answer and it comes back to you and as soon as it comes back to you that he has already now forgot it’s it’s like starting over brand New so to us users. We always think AI is getting better and it’s retaining knowledge our AI does not retain knowledge. It’s the AI. It’s the algorithms DI algorithm on the clients and none of the clients on the service side. That’s that’s the AI where it lives. That’s where I get smarter and it’s once it spits out the answer. It’s already forgotten you but so it doesn’t forget you next time when you come up with a 50 second question You send that question but it takes it also says the 51st questions that came before with the 51st answers that day, I spit out all that goes back to the algorithm they read through all that data lightning fast gives you the answer and then it’s forgot about you again This is a really horrible model and eventually the person or company that figures out how to speed this out, which there are some ways will be amazing as of right now anyone can go to someone like rep there’s quite a few of these, but I use rep very well cause reps very wonderful. It’s very smart and just the way it works. The flows the work flows the billing is also low. You can design anything you want AI model wise as having your own platform so if you can’t find it out there, you can be building it right nowand then you can sell that to people out there that are in your same spot
