AI-Generated UGC Videos Cost $1 and 15 Seconds, Threatening Traditional Creators

A tweet highlights that AI-generated UGC videos have become highly realistic, using the Seedance 2.5 model to produce a 15-second video from a single prompt at a cost of just $1. In contrast, real UGC creators typically require a week of back-and-forth, numerous messages, and a $500 fee. The author suggests that creators without a personal brand who rely solely on UGC videos are at risk.
