AI-Generated Video Threatens Creator Business Models
Lightspeed Ventures partner Michael Mignano warned that the rise of AI-generated video, accelerated by OpenAI's Sora 2 and Google's Nano Banana, could signal the 'end of the creator' by making instant, tailored content cheaper to produce and reducing individual creators' value. He said platforms will favor truly unique human image, likeness, or creativity while AI influencers, scams, and algorithmic tailoring already strain TikTok and Instagram feeds, forcing creators to pivot to distinctized offerings to survive.
