Integrating AI/ML stuff in websites
Hello, I want to learn a bit of AI/ML stuff to be able to build recommendation systems, sentiment analysis and other stuff.
For example if we are building a website like netflix, I want to be able to create a movie recommendation system. There is also stuff like AI agent, don't know the concept yet, but seem interesting.
I want to train my own model. Like using my webcam to identify objects etc. So I was wondering, how far should someone know AI/ML to be able to do that? Does that require learning the theoretical stuff?
Would really appreciate if someone can elaborate on that and recommend resources to learn them.

this is several questions in one, really... Integrating anything in a website pretty much always means finding and using an API. For LLM type AIs, those are pretty much always paid or very limited in what they do, but the integration of the service is no different than building a pokemon app using the pokemon API or querying a weather API
recommendation engines are generally not LLM based, they've been around for eons and are more based on analyzing user data and seeing that people who watch Iron Man 2 will also enjoy watching The Avengers. They compare the viewing and rating history of different users and try to suggest things that other people with similar viewing and rating histories also rated highly
oh ok, it's where ML come in?
as for training your own model, I'm sure there's beginner tutorials out there. OpenCV might be a good place to start looking
yeah sorry that was lot of questions in one go
yep will have a look, what about AI agent pls, also saw that, like they can practically automate stuff for us
I'm not really sure what you're trying to go for here, like... Do you mean training an "AI" like ChatGPT, or just machine learning in general? Because Machine Learning has been around for decades
Oh ok, I'm talking more about training a model, more ML based
you mean an AI agent like ChatGPT or Claude or something?
I had the miss conception of ML came with AI xd
yeah
well, machine learning is a form of AI, as long as you don't define AI as "large language model"
if you're talking about LLMs like ChatGPT and co, I will not be answering any more questions about those. I am morally and ethically opposed to those for numerous reasons, though mostly the ethics of their training data, the unbelievable amount of energy they consume in the middle of a climate disaster and energy crisis, and the absolutely reprehensible tactics these large companies use to build locally-polluting datacenters in lower-income areas
sure, no problem, thanks for the insights shared about the ML and OpenCV library, will have a look at that, ty !
