Sort them... by what?
Just fackin' sort it ooouuttt!
Edit, but seriously sorting in most scenarios is just by date created or name, which most file explorers can do.
That Isn't generally an AI task.
If OP wants the AI to read the file and sort by colour for example, then this is maybe an AI task but sounds more like a software task.
Scenario time: A loved one has recently passed away, and I want to find all the photos I have of them. I would love to be able to have a local AI perform facial recognition to help me find these photos. The classification and tagging info doesn't get fed into surveillance capitalist garbage, and I'm still able to benefit.
Mate, something like Immich or digikam (if you want local) will do a good job at this. Not perfect but perfection is utopia. I fed 40k images to Immich and it did a reasonable job in not too many hrs.
scenario time: you haven't taken 40 thousand pictures over the last three years because you aren't cripplingly addicted to technology so you can sort through them manually in about 10 hours or so.
You're proposing to waste 10 hours sorting photos when the right tool could probably do it in less than 2 minutes? What?
And how does taking pictures translate to being addicted to tech?? We've had photography for over 100 years
they're photos of someones dead family relative? Are you really suggesting spending 10 hours on that would be a "waste of time" seems rather disingenuous, or at the very least, incredibly rude.
Also, the AI could just be wrong. You're more likely to sort much better, at least according to what you want the sorting to be.
Because some people take so many pictures it's actually kind of concerning to me whether or not they would be able to exist in the world if they couldn't. I think some people just need to focus on enjoying the experience more.
There's no reason to judge someone for taking many photos. If you're not willing to help, you don't have to. There's no need to write sarcastic comments.
i was primarily just covering the scenario where you don't have so many photos it isn't impossible to sort through. I'd be a little concerned if you took so many photos that you couldn't sort through them.
Also, it's not sarcastic.
