"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The other day I uploaded a video of a recorded meeting, and I wondered what "suggest a thumbnail" did, so I clicked it. It's three AI-generated images based on the video. That's when I realized that all those YouTube thumbnails that look the same are made from that function.
Did they get rid of the function where you could choose your own frame out of a choice of three? If so, that's diabolical cause a random thumbnail sometimes sucks.
No, the choices to upload your own thumbnail or to select from a random three frames are still there. I was just curious to find out what "Suggest a thumbnail" was, since I figured the random ones were already essentially a "suggest a thumbnail". So I totality, the options are you can upload your own, three random frames, three gen-AI images.
