Comment on Ask HN: What AI assistants are already bundled for Linux?parent

It sounds like you want... folders. Genuinely. Or a tag system. Or some other metadata.

Like, take this query for example: show me the folder(s), where my old University projects are stored. How would an AI, however powerful, know what are "university projects" if they aren't tagged as such? And if they were, why is the AI necessary?

One approach I've tried before is: if you have a folder /projects/ with so many project folders in it that you don't even know anymore what is what anymore, you just create a text file called /projects/index.txt and write the name of each folder in there and what it's for, so you don't forget later.

Well, but they ain't tagged or sorted. And an AI could know, because of the context. If it knew what year I studied and what courses etc then this information would be enough to separate content. But I am aware, that this tech ain't there yet.
