One good video can change everything--- or nothing. In this case, this video added 262 subscribers to my channel in the year it has since been published. Why?
1) Timing/Relevancy
This video came out right after Bing first released their search Chatbot, Sydney. For those of you who missed it, it was a unique time when there were tons of reports that this Chatbot appeared to be completely unhinged, so the timing couldn't have been better. The conversation happened to take place RIGHT BEFORE Microsoft updated Sydney with a ton of controls (Nerfed as the gamers say) so that conversations would be much more controlled and boring. This turned Sydney into BingChat.
2) Novel concept, exceptionally optimized and executed
Sure, the idea of doing a video of two bots talking to each other is nothing new... except when it is. The conversation in the video wasn't faked, and I think that level of authenticity shows through. The conversation was real... and well-edited.
The original transcript came from a guy on Discord who had copied and pasted the conversation back and forth between the two Chatbots. It contained a lot of the bots repeating each other so I cut that out.
Before you ask, yes I approached him with the idea of using the transcript to create the video, which he loved! I also credited him in the description.
Otherwise, the topics discussed - including when Sydney tried to Gaslight the much more nuanced and logical Chat-GPT (completely unprompted) and later got angry when GPT told the same joke more than a few times - were 100% the product of a copy/paste conversation between the two biggest bots at the time.
Once I had the video edited, I simply used Google Trends to find the highest trending search terms and made sure to include them in the title and description, added time stamps for easy navigation, and then I published and shared the video on Twitter and with a few Discord communities interested in prompt engineering.
I honestly expected most of the traffic to come from there, but it turns out that my keyword research paid off! The YouTube Algo picked up and started recommending it, then Google search grabbed it and started recommending it... a lot! (See the second and third images.)
The other secret sauce is engagement. The AVD on that video was 6:34 - not even half of the video length. People seemed to have gotten what they wanted, then jumped to the comments to see what others were saying (social proof) and either commented or continued the conversation with their own thoughts. I was sure to respond to most, if not all of those comments to keep the engagement going.
3) The creation and inclusion of Interesting characters
When I said this video was mostly created with AI, I meant it. I may have carefully chosen the B-Roll and Music and edited it to the best of my abilities to suit the conversation, but I used AI to generate much of the imagery (Including most of the thumbnail) and all of the voices.
The Voice work in particular seems to have gotten people hooked and invested. Voice matters - especially when trying to humanize something that is absolutely not human. The video contains 3 characters- all found in Descript.
The first was our Narrator. The Narrator's voice was extremely important as it would only be featured in the beginning of the video and needed to get them invested right away. This was the only part of the dialog in the video not originally part of the conversation. But it WAS generated by a collab between Chat GPT and Bing Chat. I simply used the same prompt in both bots and then combined the results to make the best intro possible. I then chose a voice that YouTube fans might recognize to hook attention. That voice? One that sounds remarkably similar to the Honest Trailers guy.
As for the prompt, that's where my expertise came in. I personally specialize in content Marketing and retention hacking in videos. The prompt mattered. The prompt was something along the lines of "Create an emotionally compelling introduction script for the following transcript. The introduction should include a hook that asks questions to create a curiosity gap and explains the situation that the viewer is about to experience." Then paste in the video's transcript and voila!
Did it work? Yes, yes it did. This is the only video on my channel with a 72% retention at 33 seconds.
Fun tip- if you want to know if your hook is good, play it for someone then stop the video right after it. If they look at you like they NEED to know what comes next, the hook is golden.
Next, for our other two characters, I chose a female voice because, at the time, there was a story in the news about about reporter testing Bing Chat (Sydney) only to have it tell him he should leave his wife and be with her.
For GPT I chose an older gentleman's voice because, although ChatGPT was new to the public, OpenAI has been around for a bit. So, I figured the more mature one in the conversation should have a more mature voice.
Concluding thoughts, a year later.
It's odd how a throw-away idea to take a humorous transcript shared by a dude in Discord and turn it into a video became a massive hit for my channel. Odd, but not really all that puzzling once I dove into the numbers.
I know that this wasn't luck- it was trusting instinct. What started as a funny what-if became a passion project that worked extremely well. It just goes to show that when you pour your heart into creating something, people can tell. That content found its audience and resonated with them.

What's up community! Here are 4 DaVinci Resolve Studio tips I've picked up and thought you might appreciate. I have been meaning to do a video on it but haven't made time so I figured I would share before I forget!
1) You can optimize Resolve and save resources (processing power) while editing the video without affecting the final output. Here's how:
Go to the Playback menu, timeline proxy resolution- it will be set to full by default. Change it to half. Then, for Render Cache, you can change it to Smart and this will help too.
The only thing is that you will want to remember to clear your cache occasionally.
2) Optical flow for slow-mo:
In the timeline, click on the clip. Go to the inspector tab, scroll down to retime and scale, and expand that menu. Click Retime process > select Optical flow; under motion estimation select speed warp.
You will need to set the desired speed first.
3) How to get an image in text:
- In the Edit tab, put the video (or image) you want to appear inside the letters on the v2 timeline. Put the text (Title style of your choice) on V1.
-Click the video and go to the inspector tab, click settings > composite > set it to foreground
-click the title placeholder and in the inspector tab go to the same spot and set the composite to alpha.
This last one - I haven't really tried this yet, just read about it.
4) Adding effects to Text:
-Right-click the title clip in the timeline > Create Compound Clip.
-now you can drag and drop any effect onto that clip and it should work.
Now the ball is in your court. How many of these tips did you already know? What are your favorite tricks in DaVinci Resolve?
Until next time, happy editing!

DadBot is almost here! I'm excited to announce that due to some recent personal events, I've decided to fast-track the creation of DadBot built on Chat GPT-4!
Some of the questions he'll be tackling are:
"What's the very best fatherly advice?"
"What should I do with my life?"
And even "DadBot, when are you coming home with the milk?"
Stay Tuned! Oh, and you can sub to his new channel @DadBotWisdom now and get notified when he answers your questions! Go sub!

Meet DadBot- Powered by GPT-4!
I recently gained access to GPT-4 and wanted to use it to do some good in the world in an entertaining way, but if I do this, I'll need your help.
I'm thinking about creating a playlist (or possibly a whole new channel) for a 100% AI-powered Father Figure. The idea is to use AI to give fatherly advice (Think a Robot Danny Tanner from Full House).
All questions would be fed into Chat GPT-4 and the responses made into videos with an AI voice and robot face.
So, two questions:
1. If I were to do this, should this be a playlist or a whole new channel?
2. What questions would you ask your new DadBot to get advice?
