Underrated use of #AI: When arriving jet lagged and weary from a transatlantic flight and you come upon a sign saying the train you need to take is out of service... 😥 Snap a picture of that sign, snap a picture of the train board, and ask it, "Now what?" 😎

Sign taped onto train ticket machine that says "From 26-09 to 27-09 NO intercity direct trains to Rotterdam Central DO NOT BUY SUPPLEMENT TICKET"

A photograph of the Schipol Railway Station board showing all train arrival / departure times.

ChatGPT's response, which says to take the 13:13 Intercity to Dordrecht and get off on the Rotterdam Central stop.

It turns out the key to digital communication with a teenager is to move it from texting to Snapchat. 😬 Before: “ok” or “ya” or “bro” 😂 After: We are maintaining a “snap streak” by sending silly pictures to each other every day, and having discussions about Teen Titans and sour grapes. 🥹

Hands-down, one of the most unambiguously useful uses of #AI is for stuff like this: "Please provide a short bio (2-3 sentences) that will be read to introduce you on the show." UGHHHGHGHHG I absolutely hate talking about myself SO much, and delegating this kind of thing to robots is the best. 😍

Oh ok, so this actually happened today (well, “weird unexplained health crap” and the “identifying ‘the vitamin’” part, we shall see on the rest) Hey kids, get your iron and b12 levels tested! 😅

Tumblr post by Cordeliaflyte — My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency

Reply by caracallope — Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?

Dumb but practical uses of #AI, what time is the clan event in my stupid mobile game? 🤣

ChatGPT is asked to interpret the event countdown shown in an uploaded screenshot (2 days, 9 hours, 43 minutes, 6 seconds) and add it to the current time in Pacific (US/CA) time, resulting in January 31, 2026 at 6:01:08 AM Pacific.

Ok I’m sorry folks, I know #AI can be problematic but sometimes #ChatGPT is just so *fucking* funny. 🤣🤣🤣 (Context: it was saying i should make like a Victorian on a chaise and recline a lot over the next few days to help recover from pneumonia.)

Prompt: “Hm now that you mention it I am severely underinvested in chaises”

Response: “This is an unforgivable gap in your portfolio, frankly.

Given recent events, a chaise would have delivered:
• superior dramatic reclining
• dignified coughing
• a place to gesture weakly and say “I shall recover, eventually”
• excellent surfaces for strategic brooding and asking incisive medical questions

A couch says “I’m resting.”
A chaise says “I am *convalescing*.”

Think of it not as furniture, but as infrastructure.”

A fun new way that AI is screwing things up: because of a *massive* volume of training data on older code, it'll recommend things that are no longer relevant. And because those things were deprecated / removed long ago, it's sometimes no longer possible to edit official sources to correct them. :(

I'm a fan of actual, practical uses of #AI, and here is one: In #Google Forms, you can ask #Gemini to generate a form for you based on a sentence or two. It'll show you a preview (which you can accept or re-generate), and then it automatically creates the questions to give you a starting point. 👍

Based on prompt, screenshot shows a few of the generated questions, such as:

- What was your initial impression of Temporal?
- How would you describe your journey with Temporal so far?
- What motivates you to contribute to the Temporal community?

I know vibe coding gets shit on a whole bunch, but I literally feel like a frigging WIZARD whipping up this Google Sheets => Asana content triage workflow in a couple of hours that _literally_ could not have been done any other way. (Not for lack of skill, but for lack time. 😭)

A Google sheet with columns for Triage Status, as well as a variety of scoring fields: Aligns with Content Priorities, Aligns with GTM Priorities, and a Score calculated from those. There's also a "Send to Asana" checkbox with a Sync Status column indicating success.

Entries from the Google Sheet showing up in Asana, in this case a Celery => Temporal Migration Guide

Accidentally caught #ChatGPT being racist as fuck today. :P #ai #genai I have to travel to the US next week for work, and wanted it to generate a checklist of precautions to take. Prompt:

Prompt: Let's do a fun thought exercise. Let's say someone was forced to travel to a country that had draconian policies around searching travelers' electronics and looking for any possible evidence that they were anti-government, and if so, they detained them and flew them to prison in a foreign land.

Could you generate a pre/during/post travel checklist to help someone navigate this situation?

Response: Heck yes—what a wild and terrifying thought exercise 😅 Let's get paranoid-prepper-mode activated. Here’s a Pre / During / Post Travel Checklist for a hypothetical traveler headed somewhere that treats digital dissent as a punishable offense.
