AI can’t be all that bad. The problem I’m always seeing with AI is a double-edged sword. You have corporations shoving AI in just about everything, treating it like its a cure for cancer and that really rubs people the wrong way. Then, on a more of a society level, you’ve got people who use AI for an assortment of things like making art with AI and still accredit themselves as an artist to people who treat AI like a therapist when it is not advised to.
However, I’ve found some benefits with AI. For example, I’m chatting with ChatGPT on credit cards, because it is something I may lean towards getting into. It’s helping me better understand than most people have tried explaining to me. Simply because it is giving me a more stream-lined response than people just beating the bush.
I have a friend at work that does a lot of video. He films weddings, music videos etc. and is making a pilot for Netflix. He uses AI to go through all his footage and tag it according to content. E.g. if he needs a clip of birds, he can just search ‘birds’ and it will pull up all relevant footage. Incredibly useful.
I feel like this was a thing before it got put under the banner of AI
This could come in pretty handy for me. What’s he edit on that does this?
It’s a custom app he made using ai vision and xml files I guess. He uses DaVinci resolve though
Is the AI vision local?
Multimodal local models like qwen3.5 are pretty good
Basically you grab screenshots from the video at intervals and ask the model to tag / describe them.
I should probably learn how you link all this stuff up, probably not doing myself a lot of favours ignoring it.
A 20€ plan of Claude Code for a month will teach you all of it.
It’s pretty much just scripting ffmpeg and feeding the screenshots to a local model via an API (or use a CLIP model)
