HobbiesWent wrong

The AI took over my phone and cannot set timers or alarms

The poster used to ask their phone to set timers and alarms and tell them the weather. Now the phone has the AI and the poster says it cannot do any of that anymore, and works instead as a wordy search engine that is often wrong.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

My agent pulled 17 years of my listening history back into my own hands

A music fan had the AI pull all 17 years of his listening records from his streaming history service, so the data now lives on his own machine. A few days later he had it build a personal browser that shows what he listened to each month, drops one time plays and noise tracks, and lets him queue songs to his home speakers in one click.

The AI found the records I needed for my Canadian citizenship papers

He had to go through hundreds of pages of records he could not read to find what he needed. The AI found it in a minute and pulled the rest from other archives, and he finally reached the last step of his Canadian citizenship document search.

This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
