Frankly, it sounds like you are being a bit short-sighted with the whole endeavour.

The lowered production costs enabled by AI should to a degree insulate you from the usual financial risks, and should allow you to be more authentic. It might seem risky to make niche content, but I think it could help attract a real initial audience, never underestimate the demand for true authenticity.

It might sound strange talking about authenticity when it comes to AI, but I do agree with your perspective, that it can empower creative thinkers to produce content with real authorial intent directly, and without the compromises inherent to large production teams.

You seem to be operating like a corporate production company with large costs that needs to appeal to the lowest common denominator to get ROI, but you are doing it without the benefits of the higher production budgets.

You are wasting your advantage. Do the things they cannot afford to do because they are too risky or too niche. If you say that AI allows you to empower your writers, don't waste their talents on brainless content!
