From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Lately I've been using chatGPT to create a bunch of small custom python programs to do stuff like this (if I can't easily find an existing program to do what I want).
For example I would tell it something like:
You can customize it to do exactly what you want, and it takes only seconds for it to give you the code.
I can't even begin to tell you how much time it's saved me over the last few weeks, automating simple stuff that would normally take ages.
I think that's a good start, but the baseline of what AI can do. These scripts are around since filesystems have been invented. And you can do this with one (lengthy) shell command. Or one of the already existing file sorting utils. (something like ~~this~~ [Edit: see next comment] or Hazel or DropIt) With those you can even configure if it should recusively visit subdirectories and do individual subdirectories for the filetypes or mangle everything together for example in one big unsorted mp3 directory.
What I'm waiting for (I'm not OP) is something that looks at the content of the files. Do a directory for all the manuals I downloaded for the household appliances, find out on which event I took a photo and make a correctly named album for that, find the project files for my diverse electronics projects and file them into seperate directories together with related info. And find the mp3 files and TV recordings with a mismatch of metadata and folder structure.
I think what you're describing is definitely the way things are heading. I would love a teachable, automated AI personal assistant. But I think I'll wait for an open source, hardware agnostic version that I can self-host.
