hi, I am absolute nebwbie to botting, but it always interested me having program do for me to generate money. i understand that it will be difficult and probably wont make much money, however I hope it will be able to generate at least a bit of "pocket money" for poor student like me. If you have any ideas of how to start a side hustle using bots, please comment or dm me, every advice is appreciated

Content creation is eating many hours a week between ideas, shooting, editing, captions, and scheduling across platforms. There has to be a way to cut the manual labor in half without killing quality
what tools and systems are people actually using?
This is something I've been noticing. I don't always open an Al chatbot anymore sometimes the Al is already inside whatever I'm using.
My editor has Al
My browser has Al
My phone has Al
My social apps have Al
My coding tools have Al
At some point we probably won't even say "I'm using Al." It'll just be another feature. Do you think standalone Al chatbots will still be the main way people use Al in a few years?
I'm honestly surprised by how many people around me use ChatGPT or other Al tools for basically everything.I'm in a master's program and I've mostly avoided using Al. At first I was worried about academic rules and plagiarism but over time my reasons became more about privacy and the way these tools are being used recently I was on a group project call and one of my classmates put her section into ChatGPT and pasted the response straight into the presentation. I've also found out that friends and family use Al for things I never expected It made me wonder how normal this has already become without some of us even noticing.
How much are people around you actually using Al in their everyday lives?
I clicked on an older YouTube video with a surprisingly high view count and then looked at the comments the numbers and the conversation didn't really feel connected that got me thinking about YouTube view bot discussions. A view is only one part of the picture and doesn't tell you whether someone watched the whole video When you judge a YouTube channel what matters more to you: views, comments, returning viewers or watch time
i honestly don't want to know how many times I open this app every day
it's usually the first thing I check before my messages in the morning and somehow it's also the last app I close before going to sleep.
some of it feels completely reasonable.
taking a picture of a spot on my face and
asking if it looks like stress or maybe
something I ate. waking up at 1am with a
weird feeling in my chest and wanting
something to tell me it's probably nothing.
wondering if a client's "noted." sounded annoyed then asking ChatGPT to rewrite my reply so it came across a little warmer. turns out she was probably fine. that's just how she texts.
then there are the questions I already know it can't really answer I had a rough week so I asked it if the rest of my month was likely to be the same. when I didn't like the answer I asked again with different wording hoping it would say something different. I even pasted an entire conversation with someone and asked if they were losing interest or just busy. deep down I knew no Al could actually tell me that.
and I keep seeing more examples of this everywhere. parents using Al to figure out why their newborn is crying. kids chatting with the same Al character every day. people letting Al dating apps try to find them a partner. someone's elderly parent getting daily check-in calls from an Al voice instead of a real person.
so I don't think this is the end of where things are heading. right now I'm still the one who has to open the app every time.
does anyone else catch themselves asking Al questions they already know it can't truly answer, or is it just me?
Every big streamer started with zero viewers, but I imagine it's tough talking to an empty chat for weeks or even months. If you wanted to become a creator today, would you still choose Twitch, or would you start somewhere else?
Lately I've been seeing more people claim they're making real income by building AI automations with Claude.
Not by creating another chatbot, but by solving real business problems.
Things like automating emails, handling customer support, processing documents, booking appointments, or connecting apps with tools like n8n and APIs.
It seems like more small businesses are willing to pay for automations that save them time than for another AI app.
For those already building with Claude or other AI tools, has it actually helped you make money, or do you think most of these success stories are just hype?
If you could build it tomorrow...
What would it do?
Could be about coding, automation, agents, prompts, or the future of Al. Let's hear the hot takes.
Kick has attracted a lot of creators recently. Do you see it becoming a long-term platform, or is it just another trend ?
