File organization vs tagging in AI photo sorting

I spent six months tagging every single photo on my phone trying to get Google Photos to organize them automatically. Then I tried an AI tool called Excire Foto that just scans images and groups them by content without me lifting a finger. Has anyone else found that letting AI do the heavy lifting beats manual tagging every time?

Got any examples of what it grouped wrong so far? I feel like these tools miss the weird edge cases that matter to me.

Three weeks ago I asked mine to sort my camping gear photos and it put a picture of my burnt hot dog next to a photo of a charred log from the fire pit. I guess technically both were black and crispy but I was not trying to relive that dinner failure every time I looked at campfire memories. It also grouped a video of my dog chasing geese with a clip of my niece learning to swim because it thought "waving arms and rapid movement" meant the same thing.
