I fully expect to be able to type (or say!) "find me the files that changed yesterday, sort by modification time, and display the first five images in that set".
The biggest failing of things like Siri and Cortana is they're not conversational, they're really not good at learning from example, they can only respond in hard-wired ways. "What's the weather?" will work. "Do I need a jacket tomorrow?" won't because they don't understand, instead giving the closest answer they can based on available information, not knowing how you prefer to dress or what you think is cold.
Until we can have full feedback neural networks we're not fully capitalizing on this AI stuff. Once we can cut the retraining time down to something marginal, maybe we can have computers "dream" and self-reprocess based on their accumulated learnings instead of waiting for a new kernel from the cloud.
