As for why anyone else would want it: I've found it's a good model for coding, and it sometimes catches bugs that other models (especially open source models) don't always spot.

Then a little while ago, I wondered: could I do this with video too?

After some research, I realized the answer is "technically yes, but it's probably not a great idea." The biggest problem is how demanding it is to edit video if it's all being done client-side, especially via web frameworks like FFmpeg-wasm. From a hardware perspective, editing multiple images is extremely easy, but the same edits on multiple videos though... well, that can get really demanding. And what if it's being done on an old PC with bad specs? Or an old phone? Or a decade-old Chromebook? Would a batch video-editing tool that does everything client-side even make sense for that?

Well, I went and made it anyway. My reasoning is, being able to do client-side video editing from any device via the web is just too convenient. That's because I can't install proper video editing software on every device I use. I definitely can't even put regular ffmpeg on my computer at work because the I.T. Department would have a fit. But I can access a website and do most of what I need on there. I can access this from anywhere and since it's all done client side, I don't need to worry about slow WiFi or privacy or anything else. As long as the page loads, everything's good.

Anyway, I hope it comes in handy for other people. If you've ever needed to convert video or resize it or edit it, but don't have access to good software on whatever device you're on, then hopefully this will help out a lot.

It is slop though, either way.

Now maybe you're not knowledgeable about steak, and you're not sure whether the cut of steak you bought would be better off pan seared or grilled. Is ribeye better in a pan or a grill? That depends on whether you want it more smokey or more buttery. Ask an AI and tell it how you want it to taste, and it'll tell you the answer.

His metaphorical steak machine would produce better results if he had simply asked "I want a steak and I have this specific cut and I want it to have this kind of flavor, how do you suggest I make it?" rather than "cook steak on a hot pan, make no mistakes."

TL;DR: Tell the AI what you want and then ask how it for a recommendation of how to do it. You don't have to "understand software." You only need to understand how to ask the right questions.

For Laos though, I do hope they'll make sure to expand their charging infrastructure. I've heard enough stories of governments trying to push EVs but not bothering to provide the infrastructure for it or providing incentives for companies to do so.
