Redditor: AI's real gift isn't better output, it's making failure cheap enough to actually try

A creator on Reddit reflects that AI's biggest change isn't producing amazing work, but making attempts feel cheap. Before, a decent idea for a short video would die in the deliberation over whether it was worth a weekend of learning tools or finding help; now, with tools like PixVerse, they can explore an idea in an hour — and even though most first attempts miss, failure no longer feels like a huge waste of time.
Their takeaway: people focus too much on whether AI can create perfect results, but the interesting shift is that it lowers the cost of trying — and many good ideas probably never happened before simply because people weren't sure they were good enough to start.
