funny thing about Apple and AI: AppleScript is still a thing and allows you to do things such as:
$ osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to return the quoted form of the POSIX path of (target of window 1 as alias)'
that script returns the path of the directory currently opened in Finder (provides it's a real directory and not a meta directory).
To me this seems really close to the kind of interaction a user would want between a fictional AI agent and his/her computer.

@piger@mastodon.social AppleScript is really great. I used it a long long time ago, back when MacOS had the dashboard feature and I wrote a widget for it
