I'm looking to start from scratch and organize all my photos. Problem is I have about 12 years of digital photos from cameras and phones I want to get all into one place and sift though. I think there's good AI programs to help do this now, but I don't know which one is worth a fuck. Lightroom is OK I guess it just seems to hang up and take forever if you add too much shit to it. And it's not really an organization application it's more of a quick editing deal.I'd like the program to just sift though the shit and assign keywords, which camera it was taken with, date, all of that and organize it all for me.Then I can go though and grab favorites and put things into different sections, and eventually sift out all the stuff I don't really want to keep and get rid of all that.At the end I just want folders of everything organized so I can do a couple good hard backups. Right now I have hard backups but they are all scattered and have various different attempts at organization.Any tips?[EXIF data available.

You could use Hydrus to make a local mini booru with your own tags but you'll have to go through and categorize everything yourself.
