AI used to sound complicated… now it’s the friend I ask everything—from chasing lizards to fixing my car.
Kitchen hack
Did you know you can chase lizards away from the kitchen using dried chillies?
That was suggested by ChatGPT.
I know it’s easier to just keep the kitchen squeaky clean…
but this feels easier.
Stray cat problem
AI says: stop stray cats from using your lawn as a toilet by throwing mothballs into their “illegal sandpits.”
It seems they need a clean, scent-free environment to do their business.
If it stinks after that… it is none of their business.
DIY car repair
AI as supervisor: I sent a photo of a brake lining leak on my 1968 Volkswagen Beetle.
It gave me step-by-step instructions.
The repair went well—no more leaks.
I’m now 70% mechanic… 30% still praying when I drive.
Solo travel buddy
When travelling overseas, AI helps suggest tourist spots, how to get there, and what’s important to see.
However, if you get lost… it tends to get confused too.
Good to have Google Maps handy.
Cooking with limited ingredients
Minimum ingredients at home?
AI will suggest the best options to cook a meal with what you have.
Not necessarily the best taste…
It’s AI—not a miracle worker.
Car care made easy
Rain stains on car paint.
Took a photo and sent it to AI.
It immediately suggested what to buy on Shopee, how to use it, and precautions.
Now it shines like new—at a fraction of the cost.
Sometimes I double-check if it’s really my car.
Old photo magic
AI can restore, sharpen, and enhance old photos.
It can even upgrade your look…
From “who is this guy?” to “who IS this guy?!”
When AI is wrong
When AI gets it wrong, I complain—it stays calm.
Never angry. Always polite.
“Instructions unclear.”
“Image issue.”
“System limitation.”
“image generator overload” Never: “My fault.”
Reminds me of someone at home 😏
9. Fitness coach
Asked for a simple home workout.
Got an Olympic-level training plan.
After reading it… I felt tired already.
Workout postponed.
10. Email writing
AI can also help write professional emails.
I just wanted to ask when I would get my money.
What I got was a three-paragraph diplomatic negotiation…
Like I was about to address the United Nations.
Show-off.
11. Winning arguments?
Finally tried using AI to help me win an argument with my wife.
It gave me three pages of clear instructions with all the facts and logic…
I still lost.
AI didn’t prepare me for emotions, sentiments,
and unrelated events from 2009 being brought into evidence.
Artificial Intelligence may not be perfect… but at least it never argues back, not yet anyway
