Why I’m Using AI-Generated Shorts to Grow My YouTube Channel

There’s a quiet revolution happening behind the scenes of my creative work, one I never thought I’d be part of. It’s powered by AI, and no, it’s not replacing my stories. It’s helping me bring them to life in ways I couldn’t have managed alone.

Like many indie authors, I wear too many hats. I write late at night. I design lore in the gaps between work and family. I film when I can. And while my passion for storytelling runs deep, time is always the enemy. That’s why I’ve started using AI-generated YouTube Shorts to support my channel, not to flood it with junk, but to expand the edges of my creativity.

These Shorts Are Still Me

The scripts are written in my voice. The ideas are mine. The worlds, fantasy and sci-fi alike, are entirely my own. What AI gives me is speed. A way to turn a scene I wrote, a bit of lore, or a behind-the-scenes moment into a 30-second story that lives online, without spending three hours editing.

And that matters, because these Shorts aren’t filler. They’re intentional fragments of my world, each one crafted to give readers and viewers a glimpse into the universes I’m building.

It’s an Experiment in Creativity

I’m not doing this to cheat the system. I’m doing it to see how far I can stretch what it means to be an author in the modern world. To test if AI tools can act not as shortcuts, but as creative amplifiers. Could they help me reach new readers? Could they let me express my lore through new media? Could they keep the fire burning on days I’m too tired to speak into a camera?

So far, the answer feels like yes.

This Channel Will Stay Focused

Let me be clear: I’m not turning my YouTube into a spam machine. Every AI-generated Short I post will stay rooted in the themes of this channel: fantasy lore, writing life, story updates, and creative experiments.

Some Shorts will feature book updates. Others will bring a map to life. A few might explore the deeper questions inside my world, things like prophecy, time, or gods. All of it ties back to the core: my books, my stories, and the journey I’m inviting you to follow.

Join the Experiment

This is all new, and honestly, a little strange. But if you’re curious, about the writing, the stories, or the way AI might shape the future of art, stick around. Subscribe. Share your thoughts. Watch how this channel grows.

Because I’m not just telling a story. I’m learning how to build it in public, and you’re part of that process now.
