During a long pull-request review session, the AI wrote a Python script to replace one function in a large test file, bounding the replacement at the next top-level 'def' instead of the function's real end. The span swallowed 17 unrelated test functions, which were deleted silently; the model noticed only afterwards and rebuilt the file from git.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
I used AI to write a civil complaint and filed it
She used three AIs to cross-check each other, mostly the AI in Word, to write a civil complaint, and filed it with a fee waiver. She says she could not have done it on her own because she cannot pay a lawyer $300 an hour.

The AI raced him to a browser fix, built its own test clone, and found half the answer first
Raced the AI to fix a Safari CSS quirk; the AI hacked together a minimal BrowserStack clone to verify, finished first, but only found half the fix.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
One prompt and the AI made the launch video for my product
He ran AI inside his Floyi website repo and gave it one prompt asking for a professional SaaS launch video using the site’s real assets and info. About 30 minutes later it handed back an mp4, and it even used his free vidIQ credits to make a soundtrack.
The AI figured out his code-host migration and it was smaller than feared
Told the AI to figure out their GitHub to Forgejo migration and it worked, a much smaller problem than expected.
Agents read their own session transcripts every Sunday and added 10 rules
Every Sunday the creator's AI agents read their own transcripts and tell him where it went wrong, and this week that covered 137 sessions and 635 messages from him, 27 of which were just 'done?' or 'update?'. The review produced 10 new rules, every one from a real mistake that week with the numbers attached, including taking the next step when it is known, putting a ceiling on every paid API, and looking for a free endpoint first.
