Skip boring bits

[NumberFive]

With all this AI and LLM stuff, could we get something similar to Comskip that looks through TV shows and skips the boring bits?  Maybe it could summarise the details in a pop-up and let you skip to the next interesting bit of a show.  

It could even add a score to the main recording menu, it could tell you if a show was worth watching or not.

There are awesome things that could eventually be done as plugins...

Example: Some shows are brought to a screeching halt by certain characters who add nothing to the story. e.g. in Mayor of Kingstown, I hit 30-second skip every time his mother is on screen. AI could generate a comskip file to do that automatically.

Even better, in the future we might be able to re-cast characters that annoy us. Or change their wardrobe

A simpler solution would be to simply increase the quality of the television shows that you watch...

Yes!  This is the kind of vision that we need!!
