Another Week, Another AI Video Generator… But Where’s My Fully Automated YouTube Empire?

So yet another AI video tool just dropped and wow, shocker, it still doesn’t automate my entire YouTube channel while I sleep. Rude.

We’ve got OpenAI’s Sora giving us pretty 22-second dream clips (only if you’re a Plus or Pro peasant, of course), Meta’s MovieGen doing 16-second sound-tweaked videos, Adobe hopping in with Firefly in Premiere, and Runway Gen-4 making us believe we’re one prompt away from Pixar.

Even HeyGen is flexing its G2 rating like it’s the AI Hollywood of 2025. Synthesia gives you 230 avatars that all somehow still sound like a PowerPoint voiceover. Google’s Veo promises “advanced video generation” okay, cool, but can it please give me 10 viral Shorts and 3 Reels by Friday?

Now here’s my spicy take:

Despite all the hype, none of these tools can actually run a YouTube or social media channel on their own. Like, I still have to write a script? Still need to cut and edit? Still need taste and strategy and brain cells?

So much for the AI takeover. Can’t even replace a part-time TikTok intern yet.

Unless… I’m wrong?

If you have actually managed to automate a real YouTube or Insta or TikTok channel — like, no manual editing, no human creative input, just raw AI magic . PLEASE drop it in the comments. I will genuinely worship your workflow.

Otherwise, we’re all still living in a “make 30-seconds of nice stock B-roll” timeline.

Let’s talk. Is full automation still a pipe dream? Or are some of y’all out there actually doing it and just keeping secrets?
