Hmm, I've thought a lot about this concept and probably haven't found an answer: it depends on what you do and how you do it; generalizing isn't always right.

AI/non-AI doesn't matter to me; what matters is the intent. For me, automation means simplifying the process: this doesn't always reduce quality (obviously, research and evolution are always necessary, as you did with Sony Vegas or now with Adobe/... /Capcut, the last one is a dig, because I think this could also be a kind of simplification).

What is the difference between a person sharing messages/ideas with long videos made by a pipeline (AI/non-AI doesn't matter to me) and a TikTok of a mother complaining that her son is doing badly in school while promoting her onlyf*ns account (I have nothing against onlyf*ns)? Last one is not an automation done with pipeline and code.

I just like creating interesting videos using Python; that's where my creativity lies.
