The AI sponsorship gold rush is officially out of control. In this video, I’m opening my inbox to expose the "AI Slop" currently being pitched to creators and why I am officially refusing all AI sponsorships until the tech actually works.   As a professional filmmaker and editor, I’ve watched tech cycles move from apps to the blockchain, and now to "AI-everything." But right now, the market is flooded with tools that overpromise and underdeliver. From vibe-coded websites that bug out instantly to AI video agents that "decode virality" but can’t even generate a basic script without failing—I'm roasting it all.

I'm Hayden Hillier-Smith. On this channel I will break down what makes good editing...pulling back the curtain on how editors make the choices to keep YOU, THE AUDIENCE, engaged. This includes showcasing the creative choices I have made. I hope you can learn something new and inspire you to edit.
