    It’s simply ridiculous. None of their 20 new features seem genuinely usable for day-to-day life; I’m struggling to find any use cases for them. I have no idea what they were thinking with "Dots". The "Super Fast" addition is nice and important, but it’s just one small bright spot in a hellscape of useless features.

      Honestly this is me with almost everything the Ai companies release. I just don’t seem to have any problems that AI could solve in my personal life.

        My microwave handle broke. I looked up the part needed to re-attach it; it's a a tiny piece of plastic. $30 each, and I need two of them, so $60.

        So I grabbed photos of the part from online, which showed it against a 1inch square grid. I gave the photos to ChatGPT, told it the grid size, and asked it to make a 3D model.

        It did it. I made a test print. It works perfectly.

        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        I guess for me, it's been partly a matter of trying to unblind myself to problems I've grown accustomed to solving in a certain way.
