If youtube is to be believed, thumbnails make a dramatic difference to first-glance engagement. A model trained to find great(by what metrics?) screenshots from the film sounds like a fun project.

I'm looking forward to classic movies with AI-generated thumbnails that take the main actor or actress and make them do the "Youtube Thumbnail Surprised Face". Imagine The Maltese Falcon or Citizen Kane but with thumbnails that look like [1].

The first image you conjured in my mind was Indiana Jones holding the holy grial and doing a pog face.

This reminded me of this article I read a few years back. I wonder if they still use the same method.
