YOLOv8 can do image segmentation with labeling (it might need SAM for labels) - but yeah, I understand. For my use they're kind of able to be used interchangeably in this case, depending on which can detect objects in the image and generate a caption or image/text match (BLIP2) or detect via object detection or segmentation in SAM.
