Ah come on. Think of all the good free software that sold out. This is a video player that’s cross platform, is a simple install with no additional drivers required, and has kept up with video standards as they’ve progressed over the years.
it doesn’t have ads or bloatware or “premium” subscription.
Okay dev may have slowed or stopped and that’s a shame but we have gotten a damn good deal so far.
And if VLC isn’t to your liking there are good alternatives.
I believe it’s open source and considering their cross-platform focus I can imagine they’re a bit wary of adding functionality that might break on one of those or requires maintenance.
It’s possible to contribute though and seem to require an agreement before merging stuff.
If all else fails you could at least create a fork where you add that basic functionality.
No, actually there arent. Not with this many features.
Some devs do what the comminity wants, some do what they think is best. Theres no reason to even care about that fact.
Hundreds of people are able and willing to work on FOSS projects. If you make a strong enough case, you can get someone to do it. If you dont want to bother, pay someone to fork it for you.
Literally dozens of possible solutions to this. I would consider staying constructive. That way you might actually get what you want.

How can we add AI in some shape or form?

So you’re are upset because the software that you didn’t need to pay and still using for years don’t have a feature that you want
In that case you can always use another software, pay for it and make your demands
