Last month, I officially lost my first (as far as I know) video job to AI. I'm sure it won't be the last.

I don’t mind…and in fact, welcome AI, if it is for specific tasks rather than replacing creativity.

When it replaces the; pen, paintbrush, camera, then yes, strong dislike, but if it can reduce my non-creative edit time, then great.

This is always the problem with any AI discussion.  I abhor GenAI, but I do like the ML tools in various software that they refer to as "AI" (even though it's really just a better magnetic lasso or something like that).

What kind of job was it? Can you talk about it?

Husband and father.

Totally get the frustration, mixed feelings here too. But honestly, I’ve been directing AI content for agency work and even for music videos where the budget wouldn’t cover full CGI. It’s not about losing work, it’s about adapting. Most clients are abroad and on tight budgets, so outsourcing is just reality. Learning to guide AI creatively is how you stay ahead, not get replaced!
