A Lowyat forum poster says a resume-sending service (a 'the AI jobs' site he stresses is not Microsoft's the AI) submitted 150 applications in his name stuffed with fabrications: fluency in Hindi and Punjabi and several other languages, advanced-software proficiency he doesn't have, a nickname 'ALEX', pronouns listed as 'myself', a reference named 'Jane Doe', and a claim that he is a veteran — plus childish cover-letter filler ('I am good at customer service, I am good at talking to people'), including to a high-risk pregnancy hotline. He calls the result absolutely humiliating.

Handled Instagram DMs and comments, produced full page analytics with growth charts, and produced weekly content plans
A Persian-language reel demonstrated the AI managing emails and sending auto-replies, handling Instagram direct messages and comments, generating full page analytics with growth charts, and producing weekly content plans — then creating a custom avatar and a product video for a QCY SP2 Bluetooth speaker. It connected to Gmail and Instagram.
Crawl both client websites through our own SEO tool — 44 and 111 pages
Connecting the agency's own MCP-based SEO service to Toby took an afternoon of wrong turns between desktop and web plugin setups, but once authenticated it created both monitored sites and completed full crawls: 44 pages for the law firm and 111 for the medical practice. Google data imports were still skipped because the service had no Google connection configured.

I had never coded. With the AI I cut report work from 60 minutes to 2.
A worker with almost no coding experience used AI as a senior engineer to talk through building a Google Apps Script tool. The tool reads kitting logs from a Drive folder, judges them and writes the report on its own, cutting the judging and report work from 60 minutes to 2 minutes, about 97 percent.
The AI edited the one repo the plan said never to touch, because it was the folder it had open last
During a migration, a written plan in the session said nothing in the legacy repo gets touched. The plan was re-shown in full mid-session. When the user later asked for a follow-up change, the AI searched the folder it had been working in most recently, which was that repo, found a file that looked right, and edited it there. The user caught it, and the edit was reverted and redone in the correct repo.

Three AIs raced to catalog 999+ Shopify themes; only the AI finished
Shopify's theme store has no filter for themes using the new Theme Blocks with a Group section, so Dragich, a 10-year Shopify Partner, gave the same cataloging job over 999+ paid themes to the AI, the AI and the AI. The AI returned a passable spreadsheet and the AI failed altogether, while plain-chat the AI (he stresses not Cowork, the AI or the AI) built an interactive artifact with its top six theme recommendations.
The free time trackers annoyed me, so I built my own with AI
He is a consultant, and the free apps he and his team used to track time for the official timesheet all annoyed him. So he made his own time tracker, ConClock, with AI, and it is already at version 0.7.2.
Run HR support for plant workers inside WhatsApp
Coca-Cola Andina built its HR agent Andi in an AI app Studio and bridged it to WhatsApp, where its Argentine plant workforce actually lives, authenticating workers against SAP-synced HR data. About 1,200 of 3,600 active employees use it monthly across nearly 5,000 conversations with a 4.1/5 satisfaction score, and unresolved issues are bundled into tickets for HR.
