Marco H asked the AI to audit his 15,000 Instagram followers and identify which ones don't follow him back. The agent worked through the full follower list and returned the non-follow-backs.

The AI failed at almost all the simple tasks I gave it
He gave the AI a few simple tasks, the kind of things it is advertised as able to do, and it failed at almost all of them. It ended up costing him much more time than it would have saved.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
An agent reworked a purse hinge for soft plastic printing and inferred the missing sizes
Antigravity reworked a 3D-printed purse hinge for TPU printing, taking measurements and rotating parts on its own; it held dimensional accuracy and inferred dimensions he did not have.
I know nothing about 3D. The AI built my character into a talking 3D model in five days.
He wanted his AI character AYN to move and talk like a VTuber. The AI drew the art, Tripo made the 3D shapes, and the AI drove Blender by script to build, fix and export the model, while he only looked at the renders and said what looked wrong. The finished model has 16 expressions and lip sync that follows the expression.
Turn my stalled personal goal into a daily action checklist

Jailbroke his Kindle with GPT-5.5 Sol and turned it into an external e-paper display; the project code was written by GPT-5.6 Sol.
I shipped 43 Chrome extensions by telling the AI what to do in Japanese
He does not write code himself. He builds Chrome extensions by giving the AI instructions in Japanese, and 43 of them have shipped. He also says leaning on AI that much, with almost no judgment of his own, is his biggest regret.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He had an agent lock down his home network and check the DMZ
He got Astra to go through his network and DMZ. It confirmed all port forwarding was off, hardened his media services, and found 5 PHP apps on the network, none of them running.
