AI exposure
moderate
58/100
As a UGC creator you make a living from authentic content for brands, and AI can now generate scripts, images and video that resemble what you produce. At the same time the whole point of UGC is that it feels real and personal, something an audience sees through if it is artificial. You are moderately exposed, and your edge lies in credibility, a face and a voice that actually belong to a human.
Screen / desk work
As a UGC creator you work a lot with a screen when writing scripts and editing, and that is exactly the part AI takes over quickly. The production behind the screen is more exposed than the moments in front of the camera where your face and voice create credibility. You should therefore shift your time towards the real and personal that cannot be generated.
