I'd much rather type out the instructions than stage and edit video of myself doing it.

And I'd much, much rather read at my own pace than be forced to watch at someone else's pace.

Instructional videos are best watched at 2x speed.

until you get to the one actually tricky part and you need to pause it for sec so your brain can catch back up.

Use AI to dynamically time warp the video relative to the information density in the video. Fast through the boilerplate, easy to understand parts, slow through the hard parts.

"ChatGPT, please convert this interminable youtube video into a readable, instructional web page, ignoring all of the obnoxious adverts."

Unfortunately, the profitable use of AI will be to do the exact reverse...

"ChatGPT, generate a how-to video by ripping off the content from https://pierre-couy.dev/tinkering/2023/03/turning-rpi-into-e... - and don't forget to insert adverts for three different VPN providers in there too"

Not for me. Videos are the second-worst way for me to learn things (just audio is the worst). At 2x speed, I absorb nothing. Reading is the best way for me.

I envy you your superpower!
