I Asked AI to Create A Script and Video About My Substack Stats: This is What It Gave Me
It was... amusing.
Whenever I look at my Substack stats, it looks like a rollercoaster. Ups and downs. Graphs can’t really show twists and turns, but I imagine they’re in there, too.
A few weeks ago, I had AI turn my stats graph into a rollercoaster.
A few days ago, I had AI generate an image of my blood glucose rollercoaster.
I am on, you might say, a “rollercoaster kick”.
After all, the last several years of my life have been just that… a rollercoaster.
What’s the next logical step?
I asked AI to create a script about my Substack stats and turn it into a video about rollercoasters. Purely for entertainment reasons. I am a curious sort who enjoys futzing around on occasion.
This, in all its very wrong, very quirky glory, is what it gave to me. I suppressed the urge to make it fit with the narration because sometimes imperfect is more fun. Enjoy.
TRANSCRIPT (AI Generated)
Ever wondered what it's like to manage a Substack? Well, let me tell you, it's a rollercoaster.
You start with that slow, steady climb, the anticipation building as you watch your total traffic numbers. Each new post, each email sent, feels like another click up the chain, pulling you higher.
You're looking at the dashboard, seeing those views tick up, hoping for that big moment. Then, boom! You hit a peak. Maybe it's a viral share, a mention somewhere, or just a really resonant piece of content. Suddenly, your bar chart shoots up, like that exhilarating drop on a ride. You're flying, seeing numbers you only dreamed of.
But just like any good rollercoaster, what goes up, must come down, or at least fluctuate wildly. There are those dips, those moments where traffic seems to slow, where you wonder if you've lost momentum.
It's a stomach-lurching feeling, but then you see another rise, another surge of interest, and you're back in the game. It’s a constant journey of ups and downs, a thrilling, sometimes terrifying, but always engaging ride.
You learn to embrace the twists and turns, understanding that every peak and every valley is part of the experience. It’s not about a single destination, but the continuous motion, the ongoing story of connection and content. So, buckle up, because the ride never truly ends. It just keeps going, day after day, post after post, always pushing forward.
If you were entertained and you feel like it, you can buy me a coffee. I appreciate it. Every bit helps.
