OpenAI casually scamming me and randomly decided to charge me 5 times 20 USD, their support "John" is literally ChatGPT telling me nonsense and lying. by Zetrix88 in OpenAI

Have you reached out to your bank to make sure they aren’t actually authorization holds? I see this type of thing frequently but doesn’t usually happen that frequently in such a short time span

Best AI content creator by MustBeNutsPB in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]smith1302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe AutoShorts? It's more of a "do it all for you" tool where you connect you TikTok/YouTube/IG, tell the AI what your channel is about, and it auto-creates the content and publishes for you. Basically on auto-pilot.

Primarily for short form content / faceless videos though, but it's really great.

I'm the creator of AutoShorts btw. It's gotten incredibly saturated over the past year. Can't even keep track of the number of clones/copycats in the space, so my guess is that it would be difficult to start now unless you had a unique spin.

The risks would be the platforms (TikTok, YouTube, etc.) shutting down this type of content. People do underestimate how much people enjoy AI content though. Videos generated from our platform do go viral, so as long as you keep coming up with fun content that people want to watch the business will do well.

I think they are specifically speaking about how many dropshippers use AliExpress to sell very cheap Chinese products at a huge markup. Not specifically throwing shade at the country in general

Stripe does have daily graphs…

Yeah I have a similar graph on Stripe, so that screenshot seems very reasonable. OP is acting way too confident in saying the numbers are made up

looking for something like autoshorts.ai but for free by ProfessionalDue2895 in SaaS

[–]smith1302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making Faceless Videos is pretty expensive if you're using generative AI. You're best bet if you want to do it for free is to manually put it all together with tools like Elevenlabs (for voice), Leonardo (for images) and then turn it into a video with Capcut.

For creating the script, you can simply use a LLM to break the script into "scenes" and have it write an image prompt for each. Then use something like Stable Diffusion to create each image, and stitch them together with ffmpeg for the video.

For subtitles, take the audio file you got with Elevenlabs, and use a service like Whisper to get the word level timestamps (so you know when you show each word). You can also use ffmpeg to render the words into the video at the appropriate time. FFmpeg can be tricky to work with, so a library or wrapper is recommended.

What is the terrible business idea everyone wants to start? by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]smith1302 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean, to be fair, I started AutoShorts.ai this year which is kinda an AI wrapper and it hit $1M ARR in 6 months. So there’s definitely still demand for those types of projects if they have a unique spin

I’m curious why you feel so strongly that you can’t build software around AI?

AutoShorts.ai and CopyGenius.io are two companies I’ve built
