Is anyone using AI for tagging ?

[Gaetan]

I recently installed two AI plugins for automatic key-wording in Lightroom Classic. (LrTag and Wordroom)

I apply both generators to my pictures in LRC, then export a JPG with the keywords embedded in the metadata.

When I upload the JPGs in Alamy, the keywords show up automatically.

It does speed up the process a bit but they still need some editing, as a lot of keywords are redundant or too general/generic.

So I remove some of these and add some of my own that are much more specific, especially the abstract ones describing moods and concepts.

I know that the AI technology is rather new and still have to learn. But will AI be able to save us even more time while ensuring more sales ?

Right now, it only serves as an object recognition tool, and may be producing search engines capable key words (?)

I would like to know if anyone has experimented with AI tagging, and what they think about it.

I have. Like you say, some judgment is needed on what keywords to add and what to not use, but I find it quite helpful. Have you tried Anthropic's new Claude Sonnet 3.5? Early days and I don't have an Anthropic account so I haven't been able to use it a lot, but it seems quite good at suggesting keywords.

Spot-on, zero trash keywords !

But not usable as a LRC plug-in, means uploading JPGs to Claude, then copy-paste keywords to Alamy.

In an ideal world, Claude 3.5 would be working directly for Alamy.

Yes, that would be really great!
