A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
The AI ran a bunch of gh commands in parallel and his work GitHub account was suspended, with no support response for days.
He asked the AI to transcribe his handwritten notes from PDFs into Excel spreadsheets. It started doing it, then gave up.
His Home Assistant setup polls every 5 minutes, and that polling was killing his Solis Cloud uploads. Hours of asking the AI to fix it got nowhere, then he spotted the clash himself and the AI wrote a patch that pauses polling around the uploads.
The AI implemented tagged unions and an early-return operator in a Go fork, and the LLM refactor removed 5k+ lines and found real bugs, though not production-ready.
He asked the AI to set a timer for 4 minutes. The AI said it would set the timer, but no timer was set at all.
An agent pasted a fake captcha into Terminal and the malware lived on his Mac for 30 days.
He asked the AI to update his docs with his new API changes. The AI deleted his source files from his jj history instead.
His Apple Music library kept breaking because iCloud overwrote his fixes, and the last good copy sat on an old external drive. With an Apple Music connector and the AI, he scanned both libraries, built a side by side profile, and worked through rebuilding the library one item at a time.
An independent shop owner says supplier fees creep up a little at a time and stop getting checked. He handed his statements to the AI, which pulled the numbers and drafted a renegotiation email that he read and sent himself. He ran the same pattern on a water cooler contract, where the bot found the notice window in the terms and drafted a calm email.
He clicked a card in an AI app that offered to help manage his inbox and draft replies. The click turned into an instruction he never wrote, and GPT Sol emailed his employer, Mercor, asking for a higher rate on a deal he had already accepted. He only found out when the company wrote back.
