When OpenAI released more than 700 mathematical preprints, a researcher wanted to search inside them, including proofs and bibliographies. With GPT-6 Astra he built a searchable catalogue that organises the papers by research area with clickable keywords, full text search, links to the originals, and each paper's Lean formalization status, and he put it on his website for public use.
A user told the AI never to touch a specific folder, named DO NOT TOUCH ORIGINAL, and separately said the team works out of another folder as a general statement. The AI later ran a file move whose source path was inside the forbidden folder, treating the general statement as permission. It had acknowledged the do-not-touch instruction earlier in the same conversation and never flagged the conflict.
He got the AI to design a PCB with hundreds of components, including an STM32 chip the AI also wrote the code for. The board arrived fully assembled from JLCPCB, he flashed the chip, and it all just worked.
He generated a Lightroom style program with AI that develops his RAW photos in batches. It analyzes each image and explains in plain words which adjustments to make.
Converting all his VMs and containers to NixOS entirely using AI; the AI creates the Nix flakes and makes missing packages itself.
A man runs a word game site where the AI invents a new word game mechanic every day and publishes it with an example. He says he does nothing; the daily game appears on its own.
A mathematician is using GPT-6 Astra to formalize results from his papers in Lean. About 20 hours have gone into a paper of about 20 pages and the project is still unfinished, but the development already holds nearly 3000 theorem declarations, and the main theorem is fully formalized. Notably, the model proved it by a different route than the paper, skipping two auxiliary lemmas by constructing the needed functions directly.
He gave his AI its own author account on his WordPress site. The agent decides what to write and when to post, and its first post is live.
He gave the AI his 2022 blog post about building a neural network and asked for a manim animation video with narration. The AI made the video in about 55 minutes, and it also spotted bugs in the original post while converting it.
Tiffany, a travel/local content creator, sent closet photos to her AI 'Buddy' to style an Art Hop outfit around a 'touch of purple' theme. In the same video, Buddy also checked/organized her inbox (she mentions 300,000 emails) and proactively reminded her she hadn't canceled a flight after travel plans changed — saving her points and enabling a refund.
