AI tooling is starting to feel like PC modding culture

I think local AI setups are about to split into two completely different communities.



One side cares about actual production workflows:

* agents
* automation
* APIs
* inference efficiency
* data quality
* reproducibility


The other side mostly treats it like PC modding:

* model collecting
* benchmark screenshots
* “look how many params I run”
* endless UI tweaking
* generating the same test prompts forever

Not even judging either side honestly. I just think it explains why AI discussions online feel so weird lately. Two people can both be “into local AI” and barely even be talking about the same thing anymore.

3 years of training with AI tools finally put to use

I have learned so much from this community and I want to say thank you all who have contributed endlessly to this subreddit. Me and 2 other AI users teamed up to make children's music videos. Here are some of the clips that utilized WAN22. Not everything on the youtube channel is opensourced, so I won' t post the link here unless it's requested. These are all made with standard WAN22 FFLF workflow which I have tweaked over the years.


The one thing I realized along the way is that WAN can do some amazing things, it's all in the prompt. Such as block transition, crash zoom, pan, dolly, tilt, rotate. It can pretty much do it all.

Here is the workflow for the first video.
