Folks, listen up!
Those posts boasting "AI automatically makes money" and "earn over 10,000 a month with zero threshold" are really harmful! I’m the fool who got tricked into investing four months of time plus over 3,000 yuan, only to almost not even earn back the electricity bill! Today, I must expose the truth thoroughly—saving even one person is worth it!
The traps I stepped into, you’d better run away from
All "magic tools" are money-draining monsters!
Various AI writing, drawing, and editing tools. Once the free trial period is over, the annual fee is often several hundred yuan! What’s even worse is that the generated content is completely useless—AI-written copy is like a primary school student’s essay, the pictures have unclear copyrights, and edited videos are all template-based... Clients shake their heads at a glance. Getting orders? Dream on!
The learning cost is ridiculously high!
Think you can master AI just by typing? Naive! If you can’t write good prompts, AI will give you a bunch of garbage. To "tame" it, I went through countless tutorials, only to find out: with that amount of time, I could have finished the work myself! All time is wasted on adjusting parameters, and efficiency drops instead of rising!
Platform algorithms target "AI assembly lines"!
Post AI-generated content on Xiaohongshu or Zhihu? The traffic is dismal! Platforms can already identify low-quality content—at best, your reach is restricted; at worst, your account is banned. What’s more terrifying is the severe homogeneity. Your "work" gets instantly 淹没 in the ocean of AI-generated content, not even making a splash...
The only real winners are the course sellers!
While you’re struggling to figure out how to make money with AI, those selling "AI side hustle courses" are already making a fortune! 99% of the cases are fake, photoshopped. After you pay the tuition, they throw you a bunch of materials scraped from the internet, and then—disappear!
A painful summary: The truth about making money with AI
AI is a tool, not a money-printing machine! It can only assist people with professional abilities—don’t 指望 it to create something out of nothing!
All "get-rich-quick while lying down" projects are just ways to fleece you! Those who really make money either sell tools or sell courses—they’ll never teach you for free!
Time is more valuable than money! If I had focused on honing one skill in these four months, I would have already made money. Why bother struggling with AI?
One last honest word:
Of course, AI is useful, but its value is to help you improve efficiency, not to replace you in making money! If you have no resources, no skills, and no execution ability, never touch the trap of "AI getting rich"! Honestly learn a craft—it’s better than anything else!
