I asked the AI to watch for concerts by my composers. It showed me something else.

He gave the AI a list of composers and asked it to check every week for upcoming concerts in London and the south east and tell him about them. It showed him something else instead.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Gives the AI a list of composers
  2. Asks it to check weekly for concerts in London and the south east and notify him
  3. It shows him something else

Why it’s worth knowing

A standing weekly check sounds simple, but the one he set up sent him something that was not the concerts he asked about.
