AI Got It Wrong. I Made It Work.

<p>AI is supposed to make things easier.</p><p>This time...it didn&#39;t. </p><p>It started with an idea for Jim&#39;s office. He has regular pegboard covering the walls, and we wanted custom wooden organizers that could attach to it.</p><p>The plan sounded simple enough: 3D print the clips, laser cut the wooden boxes, and use AI to help create the SVG files.</p><p>Except AI kept getting it wrong.</p><p>Measurements were off. Pieces didn&#39;t fit. Corrections created new problems. Maurie argued with AI, typed in ALL CAPS, threatened to switch to Claude, actually switched to Claude...and eventually came back with a completely different way of approaching the problem.</p><p>Instead of continuing to explain what was wrong, she started showing it.</p><p>She marked the physical pieces, drew corrections, took pictures, isolated individual problems and kept testing.</p><p>Eventually, it worked.</p><p>In this episode of <strong>Beyond Yet</strong>, Maurie and Jim talk about AI, 3D printing, laser cutting, prototyping, frustration, critical thinking and why using AI doesn&#39;t mean handing over the thinking.</p><p>Sometimes the most valuable thing AI does isn&#39;t getting the answer right.</p><p>It&#39;s helping you get far enough to figure out what <strong>you</strong> need to do next.</p><p><strong>If you can think it, you can create it.</strong></p><p>What is your next <strong>yet</strong>?</p><p></p>
