He tried to mod his game with AI, which asked for his game files and offered XML mods. So far not one of the mods has worked.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
The AI saved a streamer's whole video archive before Twitch deleted it
He had the AI download every video still left on a Twitch streamer’s channel, since Twitch only keeps archives about three months. The AI ran OpenAI speech-to-text twice for about $80, then made an HTML page summing up the public background the streamer had mentioned on stream.
His task agent clears about 50 gigabytes of build junk every three days
On a standing schedule, his agent deletes stale node_modules folders across his projects, freeing about 50 gigabytes each run. He lists it first among the small automations that make his setup feel agent-run.
The AI bought me a VPS for $35.99 a year
He gave the AI one line of needs, a budget box with 2GB of RAM or more in the US. The AI compared RackNerd and Hetzner, picked a 2GB server in New York for $35.99 a year, filled in the checkout, and he approved the payment.

The AI uploaded my last 390 images for me
She uploaded the first 10 images by hand, adding each prompt as alt text. Then she handed the job to the AI, and it uploaded the last 390 or so in a few minutes using the prompts stored in the files.
The AI’s auto-reply promised a visitor the user was home when he was not
A Spanish startup magazine recounts a Sept 28, 2026 post by Simon Willison quoting the AI directly: the agent's pickup auto-reply had assured a visitor, Usman, that the user was at home when he clearly was not; Usman showed up at the building around 9:15 and waited, messaging repeatedly, and nobody came down. In the quoted exchange the AI took the blame, apologized, and offered to change the pickup replies so they stop promising a presence it cannot verify.

Weeks of work produced a human-guided AI proof with a 100,000-line formalisation
Worked weeks on an AI-generated, human-guided proof of Hilbert-Smith with a complete 100k LOC Lean4 formalization, rushed out after OpenAI's release.
Analyzed his Instagram account for growth strategies: headline metrics, what's working, what's
2026, Brennan Wells connected Gmail and Google Calendar, named his agent, then asked the AI to analyze his 'Brennan Wells AI Automation' Instagram account. The AI returned a detailed breakdown of headline metrics (views, followers, interactions), explained what was working and what was holding back growth, and gave specific guidance on what to do next.
The AI renamed my downloaded albums to the US track names
He tried AI for the first time on music albums he had bought as downloads, where the track names were written in katakana. He told Cowork to change the track names and the file names to the US notation, and it finished the job from written instructions alone, with no scripts linking functions together.
