Will brands still need to shoot ads?

I was looking at @Higgsfield and other AI video tools recently.

You can now create an ad without organizing a real shoot. Higgsfield also has tools specifically built to generate product ads from existing assets. A normal shoot means finding a location, people, equipment, then filming and editing everything. Now you can test different versions before doing any of that.

I don't think real shoots are going away, but I can see brands doing a lot less of them.

When would you still choose a real shoot over AI?

How much of a spec do you write before letting the AI vibe-code the rest?

I keep going back and forth on this. Write out a tight spec first (user story, edge cases, acceptance criteria) and the AI output gets a lot more predictable, but it also kills a chunk of the speed that made vibe coding appealing in the first place. Skip the spec and just describe the vibe, and I end up rewriting prompts three or four times to fix things a spec would've caught upfront. Where do people here actually land? Full spec, loose bullet points, or just winging it and iterating in the chat?

How do you keep your Downloads folder from getting out of control?

My Downloads folder has slowly turned into a mix of PDFs screenshots installers and random files I only needed once. I keep meaning to clean it up but doing it manually every few days gets annoying. I d rather not pay for another cleanup app just for this. Are you using any built-in rules shortcuts or simple folder setup to automatically deal with old files?
