AI Can Write Your YouTube Scripts ... That’s the Problem! — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Storytelling is the difference between
- 0:02content that gets views and content that
- 0:05actually makes money. But, here's the
- 0:07problem. Most people [music] aren't born
- 0:09good storytellers. And if English isn't
- 0:11your first language, it gets even
- 0:12harder. You try using ChatGPT or other
- 0:15AI tools, and [music] yeah, they help,
- 0:17but only if you already know what to
- 0:19ask. Otherwise, you just get [music]
- 0:21generic, boring scripts. Hiring writers
- 0:23doesn't really fix it, either. Most of
- 0:25them are doing the exact same thing,
- 0:28prompting AI and copy-pasting the
- 0:30output. So, what do you do when you're
- 0:32on your own? When you don't have a team,
- 0:35you don't have time, and you still want
- 0:37to create content that actually works?
- 0:39[music] In this video, I'll show you how
- 0:41to use AI the right way, and a few
- 0:42simple techniques that turn [music]
- 0:44average ideas into stories people
- 0:45actually watch. Once you get this part
- 0:47right, everything else gets easier.
- 0:51Now, for making AI work, one crucial
- 0:53thing we need is data. The more you give
- 0:56that baby the right food, the more it
- 0:58grows in a healthy and useful way. So,
- 1:00you might ask, "Doesn't AI already have
- 1:03data? Why should we do the work?" The
- 1:05problem isn't that AI lacks data. The
- 1:08problem is that there is so much data
- 1:09that you can't really extract useful
- 1:11things from it. So, let's say I want to
- 1:13make videos about systems. A couple of
- 1:15channels I like to follow are How Money
- 1:17Works and How History Works. I really
- 1:19love the creator's storytelling tone.
- 1:22Then, all we need to do is choose three
- 1:23to five videos that got good views in
- 1:26the past months, copy their transcripts,
- 1:29and give them to the AI. This part is
- 1:31easy. All you need to do is find your
- 1:33favorite channel with good storytelling
- 1:34and copy the transcripts. But, this was
- 1:37the easy part. After you gather the
- 1:39transcripts and copy and paste them into
- 1:41Notepad, Word, or wherever you store
- 1:43them, we're going to give the AI the
- 1:45correct prompt. You can use Gemini or
- 1:48ChatGPT for this.
- 1:50Now, for this part, you don't actually
- 1:52need a complicated prompt. The prompt
- 1:54itself can be generated by AI based on
- 1:57the data you give it. Here's what I say
- 1:59to ChatGPT. "I'm going to make YouTube
- 2:01videos. I'll give you transcript
- 2:03examples from videos I like. I like the
- 2:06tone, the humor, and the mystery in the
- 2:08storytelling.
- 2:10Based on these three examples, first
- 2:12analyze them, then generate a structured
- 2:14prompt preset that I can use in AI tools
- 2:17like Gemini or ChatGPT." Then, you copy
- 2:19and paste your examples into ChatGPT and
- 2:21wait for the generated prompt.
- 2:24As you can see, it has a clear
- 2:26structure, things like topic, style, and
- 2:29output format.
- 2:30All you have to do is replace the topic,
- 2:32the duration, and your audience, then
- 2:34paste it into a new chat with the AI,
- 2:36and see how accurately it generates the
- 2:38script for you. I've put both the prompt
- 2:40and the results in a link in the
- 2:42description, so you can try it yourself.
- 2:44Let me know in the comments if this
- 2:46video worked for you.
