As you mentioned: > /…/ The same with photos: you organize them once in the input stage or periodically, and then you can search for them easily later on. /…/
As a hobby photographer, I take lots of photos. For example, I know I've taken photos of my cats, tractors, bridges, forests, etc., but I never bother manually tagging them beyond basic editing (contrast, white balance, etc.).
A system should be able to recognize what's in these photos and allow me to search for them not only by their content but by vibe as well. And once I find a photo I like, I'd really like to see similar photos (this in particular is very helpful for photographers curating their exhibitions). This is possible to achieve these days.
Also, I fully understand your point of view on `find`, `fd`, `grep`, `cat`, etc., but in reality it's only us nerds who ever open a terminal.
