The 'AI stink' will devalue video like it did text, argues viral thread
heyneighbor · x · 2026-10-28
The quoted thread argues that readers smell AI-generated text and mentally discount it by 80%, yet skilled creatives quietly use AI for research and sentence flow without detection. Reposter heyneighbor extends this to video: audiences haven't seen enough AI video to know good taste, just as vertical video was once hated but became an accepted artform — soon experts will smell AI in video (even just editing), devaluing it, while true artists use AI without the stink.
