Loved the interactive part of this article. I agree that AI tagging could be a huge benefit if it is accurate enough. Not just for emails but for general text, images and videos. I believe social media sites are already doing this to great effect (for their goals). It's an example of something nobody really wants to do and nobody was really doing to begin with in a lot of cases, similar to what you wrote about AI doing the wrong task. Imagine, for example, how much benefit many people would get from having an AI move files from their download or desktop folder to reasonable, easy to find locations, assuming that could be done accurately. Or simply to tag them in an external db, leaving the actual locations alone, or some combination of the two. Or to only sort certain types of files eg. only images or "only screenshots in the following folder" etc.
