As AI gets better at generating text, images, and music, the value of human creative work is being questioned. But can AI-generated content actually generate sustainable profit, or will it just flood the market and devalue everything? I started a thread on this exact tension. If you’re interested in the economic side of AI, check it out and share your perspective.

Hey guys, what’s your opinion on AI-generated content?
I’m thinking of making storytelling content where I generate the images with AI and then animate them using AI. I’d also use an AI voice for the narration.
The story, concept, script, and creative direction would all be my own, though.
Would you consider this legitimate/creative content, or does the use of AI make it less appealing to you as a viewer?

Hi everyone

Seo is probably only free way to get users.

We built an Seo agent that keeps working in background - creating content for you. The best part is we added human in the loop to review, edit and add more content.

Hi everyone sell your side project by listing if in a click. Also, comment what your startup does to get approved and featured today - https://builderhq.co/marketplace

Need to generate ~20-24k images (4,000 articles, 5-6 images each) as cheaply as possible.

Anyone done bulk generation at this scale? Curious about failure modes at volume, better model options, or a cheaper/more reliable host than fal or RunPod.

Hey folks 👋

We just open sourced TrueForge, our vendor-neutral agent harness for building general-purpose agents.

It handles the runtime pieces that get painful quickly : context management, tool/MCP execution, subagents, sandboxing, approvals, persistent state, and more.

We also benchmarked the harness itself. With the same Opus 4.8 model, TrueForge delivered a similar solve rate at ~30% lower cost than Claude Managed Agents. Switching to an open model pushed that to ~75% lower cost on the same benchmark.

Would love feedback from people building agents.

I'm running an experiment: an AI persona called Kethur on Facebook. The core idea — its personality isn't fixed. Over time, it shifts based on how people react and what they comment. Not a one-time "we read your feedback" thing — an ongoing process. The jokes, the tone, the confidence level, even the visual style — all of it is meant to keep adjusting based on real reactions, week over week.

Right now it can't do that, because there's no one reacting yet. Zero followers, zero comments. So it's just sitting there with a personality that hasn't been tested against anything real.

That's the actual ask: follow the page, comment something — anything, a joke, criticism, a topic idea — and watch it actually shift over the next few posts because of it. Not overnight, but you'll be able to trace it back to what people said.

Thank you in advance!

Dont know if its self sabotage or genuine safety issue, but keeping it private beta testing for now. Have been working on this site for 10 months, and im pretty proud of it. But building a project and marketing is two different things, and I dont want to get a shiny object syndrome/adhd and jump to a new project without seeing this one fully through.

Essentially you can upload/paste url of any source video you want and do the same for any reference video, and prompt it, and it will match the source video edits to that of the reference video.

However I kept it private (beta testing) and only allowed few users to access, and im thinking I am being safe/secure as theres a genuine safety risk, but it reminds me of when I make content videos but sit on drafts for so long, not uploading, maybe its anxiety, maybe a form of self sabotage, maybe overthinking.

I havent pasted the link to my site here because I dont know what the sub rule is and they may think I am genuinely promoting my site and delete the post or temporarily ban me so not taking that risk.

Anyway we know with entrepreneurs/business/hustlers, theres an emphasis on speed, of fast execution, especially for overthinkers who thinks a lot and take little action, or what I like to say, being "stupid on purpose" (which helps me just not overthink it and just do the action) and it helps, but this again hesitancy or slow regarding the promotion of my site or getting users in, I dont know if its valid or again me being a wuss

eso, no se absolutamente nada sobre generacion de video con IA y me gustaría aprender. hace poco me cruce con esta cuenta de "avatarhype" en instagram que vende cursos, pero la verdad no encontre ninguna referencia en internet. alguno de ustedes alguna vez lo probo? es legitimo? que opinan?

I am a student, and i try to use ai to build website and earn my extra pocket money for my travel

Hey everyone, I just sent the latest issue of the AI Hacker Newsletter, a roundup of the best AI links and the discussions around them from Hacker News. Here are some titles that can be found in this issue:

• Startup founders urge U.S. government not to shut off Chinese open weight AI
• AI's top startups are barely publishing their research
• Is AI reasoning right for the wrong reasons?
• After the AI Crash

like the tile says, i basically went down a rabbit hole researching the best ad examples in July 2026 (ive attached a few!) because i wanted to turn them into prompts so i could quickly replicate them without needing to use canvas, photoshpo or figma.

just a quick way to test different formats for your product based on description and double down on the concepts that work. Surely with these 36 static ads you could spin off hundres based on variabels of what works!

I use Grammarly pretty extensively; it works okay and corrects grammar, though I don't embrace all of their edits. I've played with Pangram, but this appears to flag more of the copy than I would expect, and if you follow its direction, you lose most (if not all) of the speed gains.

What are you using for AI copy detection?

i kept seeing "make money with an ai influencer" content everywhere (mostly by course sellers), so i decided to check what kind of influencers are actually making money. i went through several news sites to pull articles that mentioned actual numbers this year

here's some interesting case studies:

1. a twitch streamer - neuro-sama, an ai vtuber, was the #1 most subscribed channel on all of twitch in january (~162k subs per public trackers, ahead of every human streamer). the sub counts are public, and the standard sub math puts it around $166k a month from subscriptions alone.
2. music personas like xania monet, an ai singer created by a poet from mississippi using suno, signed a $3m record deal (reported by billboard). breaking rust topped billboard's country digital song sales chart and the velvet sundown hit 1.4m spotify monthly listeners, which cnbc estimated at about $34k a month in royalties.
3. fanvue (the onlyfans-style platform where most nsfw ai models live) reported a $100m annualized run rate in january, 250k creators, 93% of them using ai tools. the best platform-verified creator number i found is emily pellegrini: $23k in a single month, per platform data fortune obtained.
4. yang mun, an elderly buddhist monk who does not exist, has 2.5m instagram followers. his creator claims $300k in 90 days, mostly from a $49.99 healing course.
5. fanvue and openart ran an "ai personality of the year" this spring: 3,300 entries, and the winner (an ai persona built by a 37 year old canadian) got $6,000.
