Creator says AI video editing is already good enough to stop hiring human editors
eptwts · x · 2026-11-12
A creator with 140K followers says AI video editing has gotten so good that he genuinely sees no point in hiring video editors anymore.
He concedes detail-oriented human editors still produce better results, but are slower and unreliable. The deciding factor isn't cost but reliability and turnaround: AI sticks to deadlines, and he'd gladly pay 10x his token spend for consistent same-timeframe delivery. He is bearish on creative positions that don't incorporate AI into their workflow.
