Dev who generates AI videos calls Higgsfield a scam: UI ceiling is tiny, scale only via API + coding agents
vaibhavbetter · x · 2026-09-25
A developer who generates AI videos himself publicly criticized Higgsfield, saying its UI has an incredibly low ceiling and accusing it of engagement-hacking the timeline to prey on young people chasing quick money — "the venture-backed version of a course bro at scale." He says he doesn't trust anyone claiming to actually produce videos with it.
From lived experience, he argues the only practical way to generate AI video at scale is an API endpoint combined with coding agents. Still, he concedes the technology's promise is incredible and Higgsfield will likely ship a great API and capture significant value in AI video.
