Made an AI powered youtube news channel
I wrote a code that scrapes the web for news, then used OpenAi GPT to rephrase and summarize the news, then to read the news, I used Elevenlabs, and with some prompt engineering here and there to make the script more realistic.
The channel is fully automated, from news scraping to script writing, all the way to creating a thumbnail for the video. The only thing I do manually is to actually upload the video after its done. This is because google made the usage for Youtube API very difficult and requires filling forms, But I made a walk around using selenium to automate the uploading process but even that is not solid because google would thought occasional Captcha images to prevent bots.
Its not perfect, but the results is good enough. I am thinking of adding a weekly science special videos that covers interesting scientific break throughs.
Any feedback and ideas for improvement would be helpful.
