So far the most profound experience of using AI has been silencing my microwave. My microwave annoys the beep out of me, as it beeps for 10 seconds every time it’s finished its timer. Just 1 beep is enough to notify me and it annoyed me more than it should have. I often also spoke to it, telling it that I will address it as soon as my hands get free.
I lived with this annoyance for 4 years. Yesterday I had a random thought to let Claude fix this for me. To appreciate how magical and profound this single chat was, I will let a picture do all the talking
And that’s it. IT WORKED! It was so freaking accurate and quick. There are no hard lessons here. No strong correlation to finance or observability (honestly there is, but ill hold myself). My life has changed. This makes ecstatic about AI.
