The transcript

The biggest mistake of my life, I used ARC ads to make AI videos for my brand. And let me show you three reasons why you should avoid it at all costs. First, it's disgustingly fast. You upload a product image, give it a prompt, and it gives you a hyper-realistic UGC ad. Guys, I am obsessed with this new soda alternative. It's called Brez, spelled B-R-E-Z, but pronounced like breeze, and it's the lemon elderflower flavor. Then it has the audacity to ask if I want to create more variations. Who says that? Great. Now I have 10 variations and I haven't even finished my coffee yet. Oh, and it speaks 35 languages perfectly. There goes my excuse for not targeting international markets. The second reason, the AI actors look way too real. I mean, look at this. People actually believe these are real humans. How am I supposed to feel special about hiring expensive creators when AI looks this good? And the worst part is, I can pick from hundreds of different faces, ages, and styles. Where is the fun in that? And here's the third problem. You literally don't need anyone anymore. No editor, no creator, no fancy shoot day. Just you, sitting in your pajamas, making UGC video ads in like, what, five minutes? I had to fire my entire imaginary production team. Do you know how awkward that Zoom call was? Okay, so here's what you definitely shouldn't do. Don't just throw in a product photo, and definitely don't write something super basic like this. Whatever you do, don't hit generate because, oh, great, look what happened. This is my new Ridge wallet. It's carbon fiber and it's crazy thin. Compared to this thing, it's a night and day difference. It still holds all my cards. Now I've got this annoyingly perfect TikTok video that looks like I spent a thousand bucks, when really, I just sat here for 30 seconds. I mean, it's not like over 5,000 businesses are already using this thing, or like Lerna scaled past a million dollars a month using ArcAds for their TikTok and meta ads. So please, I'm begging you, don't use ArcAds, unless you want fast, affordable, realistic video ads that actually work. But if you accidentally want to try this, just comment AI ads and I'll send you a link.
