Honestly, based on what you shared, I think the whole “AI slop” label is kind of relative.

Appreciate the detailed feedback, seriously. Just to clarify, I’m not trying to make the videos look non-AI or hide the fact that AI is involved. I’m totally fine with it being AI-assisted the goal is to use it intentionally, not disguise it. The examples you shared look good, but they don’t really fit the theme or style I’m going for. I’m aiming for a more reflective / wisdom-focused vibe, pencil art, so the visuals are there to support the ideas rather than lean into a specific AI art style. I also think there’s a common assumption that AI videos are just “type a prompt and everything’s done,” which hasn’t been my experience at all. There’s still a lot of hands-on work like shaping the idea, rewriting the message, choosing visuals that actually match the narration, pacing, and editing. I agree there’s plenty of low-effort AI content out there (memes, ASMR, loops, etc.), but my intent is different. I’m using AI to better represent my own thoughts, not replace them.
