Hello KDE community, I am a new user. I am not a developer, but I would like to know if AI has already been implemented into the video software, or if any options or plugins have emerged. Thank you!"
The answer is yes…
Search for ‘kdenlive ai features’ to get some ideas of what’s available.
I think KDE is actually in a pretty good position here because of how customizable and community-driven everything already is. AI features can be useful as optional tools, but I’d personally hate to see them forced into every workflow. Keeping things transparent, local-first, and easy to disable would probably make most people happy.

This is definitely true - though there are definitely some impressive use-cases for local AI. Sadly, I think the bigger issue with Video and AI is the absolute deluge of slop hitting YouTube.
So many times when I search for a specific item or topic, if there are no real videos, there is some AI monster generated slop to fill the gap… similar to what happened with Quora’s ‘question prompt’ which analyses what people search for and generate questions… and then ‘AI answers’ provide a mountain of slop that actually looks pretty good on first view - but the cognitive dissonance sets in and you realise it’s just pure evil in disguise.

The vast majority do not want AI anywhere near them muchless their software or OS.
I’m not so sure about that - the ‘vast majority’ are also a ‘silent majority’ and should not be ruled by a vocal few… but certainly there’s merit in being extremely skeptical. I remain very cautiously optimistic, but overall dismayed by the overall effect of AI on the internet… it’s way past ‘bots’ now.
There are many useful and harmless ways to use AI tools - not all are a privacy risk, not all phone home (local AI) and not all hallucinate.
TRY AGAIN. The numbers are out there and you know it. You cannot miss the sheer amount of push back. The point remains most do not want AI in ANY form.
Please show me the numbers. Concrete evidence is always useful in place of hyperbolae…
Perhaps the issue is framing the issue as a binary choice between complete rejection or acceptance… Opinion on AI is complex and contradictory and context dependent.
Are you including background spam filters? or simply generative chatbots?
I am very confident that AI adoption is not only very high, but also growing - surveys show that about half people use AI at work.
-
From 2023 to 2025, Chatbot use up from 38% to 62%
-
60% of people using generative AI tools last year…
-
In tech industries, daily use is around 30%
-
There is skepticism - I am a skeptic, but I do use AI.
Spend some time in CachyOS forum, and you’ll see a bunch of people who trust AI enough to totally bork their systems by blindly following instructions that they don’t understand…

But hey, yes - please bring your numbers.
I hate when people debate by just making stuff up to prove their point eh!
On the other hand, who can find an issue with Firefox AI which works locally simply to suggest names for grouped tabs?
I am going by what I see out there, and what I directly hear.
Ok, that’s great. I never heard anyone talk about this when I go out to the 7-11, or when I go to work, or when I go to the park…
So perhaps you’re just hanging out in certain ONLINE spaces which serve you well as echo chambers.
Favourite FUD spaces tend to start off with various linux forums, YouTube and reddit. Am I missing anything?
Just remember, those spaces are not representative of what ‘most people’ actually think or feel about pretty much anything 
Dude don’t both cause I already muted you.
You have been warned before about your negative and derogatory manner. We will not tolerate this kind confrontational attitude forever. Also muting someone because you disagree with you is puerile and weakens your position. Debate with civility or not at all.
With that out of the way…
- If you make an affirmation that starts with the words “the vast majority…” or “Everybody wants…”, it is on you to prove that that is correct, which I can guarantee you can’t. Prove me wrong, though: post the study, the graphs, the surveys,
- AI has provided useful tools since the the 60s. Richard Stallman himself worked in the AI department at MIT and has even recently given an interview on the matter where he clarifies what people are really talking about when they use the term “AI”—and it is not AI.
- What you are calling “AI” would be more aptly called “brute-force machine-generated slop” and Kdenlive does not use any of that. Kdenlive uses AI in the traditional sense, analysing understanding what it is seeing and separating foreground items from its background, or interpreting sounds to turn them into captions.
That’s it.
