Has anyone tried using AI to analyze YouTube videos to determine the locations? I’m not tech savvy enough to do this myself.
 
I used AI to determine what insect would be hatching the week I was going to be at Kettle Creek in April. Didn't know more then me, "Hendrickson" But I was impressed with the lengthy answer.
 
My experience with AI is the longer the answer the more bull hockey it is.
 
That's an interesting idea. A lot of videos can be located based on stuff in the background. I get a kick out of videos where the creator is being secretive "I'm not gonna name my spot!" And then the background of half the footage has something easily recognizable like a concrete wall, road bridge, railroad tracks etc.
 
I wish it'd discourage people from filming their hero bullshit and just get along with the job of removing the hook and putting the goddamn thing back in the water.

It's a fish. It looks just like the last fish you caught, and the next one after it. Sometimes it's really big, or unique and fine, I kind of get it but even then.. it's just a bigger fish.
 
No but I watched a video today where the guy said he was at a top secret creek in berks and I located it quickly based off a speed limit sign and billboard on the video. He caught a nice big wild brown too. I was pretty proud of that lol. I was also using chat gpt to plan a possible Maine trip and to see what it said about the point in the spawn/post spawn Susky smallies were at today…I had some free time at work…

I’ve also used it to locate public access points in schuylkill county and it was wildly inaccurate.

Ive yet to find a reason chat gpt has been incredibly helpful with fishing related stuff but it has helped slightly at times. I could see it being a huge help to a beginner.
 
AI is only as good as the inputs you give. I tried this recently with a photo I saw online to see if I could nail down the spot, but the results varied and most were flat out wrong.

I usually look for landmarks like @Andrwhite610 said, and try to come up with a general area to narrow it down to. Usually I can figure it out. I also try to look for unique features like big boulders or islands to try to come up with a better idea. My favorite one is when people post a picture of some like say a bridge in the background, makes it a lot easier.
 
I have used it but not for this purpose. Things it seems good at:
- packing lists that integrate the weather of the location
- conditions for multiple variables combined
- preliminary research on regs, locations, access, and travel details
- finding data sources in various places
In the onWater app, we have a custom built AI (Angler Intelligence) that is trained on data more specific to fishing when compared to general LLMs. I use this a lot since it is tied to the geospatial data in the maps.
