Some AI for TC?

TC now does almost everything one can imagine, and does almost everything it does very well. It should not come to a standstill one day, should it?
This would of course be a challenging enterprise… what about some artificial intelligence inside the TC?
Just imagine that you open a tab and, on pressing some smart key, the corresponding tab(s) appear(s) on the opposite side based on the activity history, data on file names, lengths and timestamps plus some Bayesian logic? You mark a file, press the smart key and see the usual destination for copying/moving it appearing on the opposite pane. You plug in a flash drive and, on the keypress, get two lists of files from very different locations that likely need to be copied from (to) this drive. You start a bulk copy operation that would overwrite the latest revisions of some files (sometimes, especially with clouds, timestamps are misleading) - and get a list of files that are suspected to be unique (say, because the file with this CRC has never been copied), or, even better, get these files silently saved in a rescue folder.
This seems too good to turn into reality. Yet I've learned from the forum that Mr. Ghisler had been seeking for something overwhelming!
