>AI-powered predictive suggestions when renaming a file

This is genius. Extend it to photos as well, no need for DSC_0001 when you can quickly analyze the contents and metadata and group things into folders with intelligent names. Maybe combine it with spotlight tags. There's a lot of similar untapped potential: a feature to look through your downloads folder and group things into folders, bundling all the stuff that's "junk" (e.g. zip files, dmgs, etc.) from stuff that could be valuable. And importantly in all cases it's ok if there are some errors since nothing is actually destroyed, it's just misclassified but still searchable.

In fact, do one better: spotlight is great, but sometimes you don't remember the exact wording. You don't even need a full LLM to do semantic search. And if you're going there, might as well go all the way and add a DevonThink like feature to show related documents. There's so much untapped potential to truly make the computer a "bicycle for the mind", that I'm surprised Apple hasn't bought DevonThink, integrated with an LLM, and shipped it (DevonThink could be integrated into finder, DevonSphere is a souped up spotlight, and DevonAgent would be perfect if they ever launched a search engine).

My Photos collection is a tens-of-gigs hideous heap of horrors and I am faithfully(?) waiting for Apple to give me a button to push to sort it all out.

I wonder if they’re interested in doing that since all of those images mean you have to buy their iCloud subscription forever.

But the AI would be a fantastically effective lock-in long-term methinks
