After hours of trying, the AI wrote the phone app I needed

He spent hours trying to set up a phone for a man with Alzheimer's and could not get it right. Then the AI wrote the app he needed.

How it works

  1. Tries for hours to set up the phone himself
  2. Asks the AI
  3. The AI writes the app he needs

Why it’s worth knowing

He counts himself as an AI skeptic, but after hours of failing he let the AI write the app, and it was the thing that worked.
