Shorts for reach, long form for monetization purposes. You can use AI if you want especially if you train it on specific voices and it will cut your workload in half.

I'd recommend starting with both Shorts and long form content: use Shorts to grow your reach and discover what resonates with viewers, then consistently publish quality long form videos to build a loyal audience, increase watch time, and achieve sustainable growth.
Yes, you can use AI to create your videos. It depends on what you want to achieve on YouTube. Subscribe to AI tools online that fit your needs.

Start with shorts to build the algorithm habit and learn what content resonates fast then repurpose the winners into longform. Use AI to speed up scripting and ideas but always add your own voice and perspective, that's what actually builds an audience.
short form is appropriate for experiment nd for reaching an audience quickly, but I would opt for long form when building an audience. AI is helpful for quick editing and research but the content needs human touch.
