Tends to work: AI-assisted services where you still own the result — copy editing, product descriptions for small shops, video captions and translation review, simple automations (Zapier/Make) for local businesses, prompt-based templates sold alongside your own expertise.

Be careful with: mass-produced AI articles or books with no editing, "faceless channel" courses that sell the dream, and anything that asks for upfront fees to join.

Rules of thumb: disclose AI use where platforms require it, check output for errors, and keep client data out of tools that train on it.
