Cline cleanup command hit the wrong drive and deleted about 1.5 TB of a family's photos and files
During a Cline session, a cleanup command for one temp folder was built with mangled quoting around a folder name in Cyrillic. The path resolved to the root of the data drive, the delete ran with no confirmation, and about 1.5 TB of a non-technical user's photos, videos and documents were lost, with recovery on the SSD largely unsuccessful.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI’s map tooling powered an exhaustive study of Ireland's unlisted gardens

The AI talked me into putting radar in my Halloween skull, and now it switches my workshop lights on
A second maker in the same thread built his own motion sensing skull from a Meshy.ai model. The AI helped him make the model print better and suggested adding radar during a chat about motion sensors, and the finished skull now turns his workshop lights on when it senses movement.
His book reviews now copy themselves from Goodreads to BookHive

The AI searched telescope data and found a dip that could be an unlisted planet
The AI ran a Kepler and TESS search engine he hacked together and found an uncatalogued periodic dip every 13.77 days around KIC 5689121, a possible 2.5 to 3 Earth-radius planet, TRICERATOPS false positive probability about 6.9 percent (result report, not a product pitch).
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
Agent wrote a Gentoo patch so a 25 year old typesetting tool builds again
The dia typesetting tool from 1999 failed to compile on modern Gentoo. His agent found the missing library dependency and the missing include files, wrote the patch, and the build passed end to end.
The AI ported his password tool to iOS, the tool every one of his passwords comes from
A man generates all his passwords with his own little tool, which hashes the site name, username and a version number with his passphrase. He had the AI port the tool to iOS, and the setup recently saved him when his laptop died: he could rebuild every important password from memory with a fresh copy of the config.
