I just launched The Boring AI Builder — a weekly newsletter where I break down real AI automations: the problem, the architecture, the result.
No hype. No "AI will replace everyone" noise. Just builds that save real hours.

Experimented a bit today with Krea and image generation for a case study I’m putting together around AI EarPods connected to OpenAI.
The focus has been on creating fashion-forward product imagery and art directing a world that feels specific to the identity, rather than just generating nice-looking AI images.
The trickiest part has been product consistency. Especially getting the EarPods to actually sit snug in the ear. If you’ve worked through this process, you probably know the struggle 😅
Simply telling AI to “make it fit more snug or in the ear” doesn’t always work. It loves to reinterpret the product every time.
Still experimenting, but getting closer. If anyone has found a good workflow for keeping products consistent across AI-generated shoots, I’d love to hear it!
TOP!
This platform needs less AI generated content.
I don’t mean “less using AI tools for work.” I mean less AI bots commenting for users, less Case Studies written exclusively by AI, and more people caring about the work we do rather than rushing through it.
I kept the commenter anonymous. I did not mean to be rude in this comment, but I feel slightly off each time I read a comment that has no soul. I have even seen $1M+ Contra creators completely AI generate their case studies and just post something of no substance with words that don’t make sense.
I challenge you, if you do this or if you have thoughts about doing it, try the opposite: put more time into reading posts and interacting, put more time into writing and studying for your case studies. See how much you grow. Your influence and your skills will both expand when you stick to authenticity.
Why AI Is Still Unreliable ...
(and will probably remain like that)
Many today fear losing their jobs and businesses because of the rise of artificial intelligence. This is, of course, a justified fear that many people have. A machine that can generate long pieces of text in minutes, that can create incredible images and videos, that can generate code and translate discourses in over 150 languages.
Who hasn't thought of the possibility of AI replacing many of us, i.e., taking our jobs?
But there is a real-life example that shows why AI is unreliable and why humans will always be needed, even with the dawn of such interesting technology.
When AI Decieves Hundreds of People
A couple of days ago, hundreds of people landed in the city of Jurilovca, in Southeast Romania. There, many believe, was an annual fish festival, where people could listen to good music, drink wine, and, of course, eat fish.
However, things turn out completely wrong. There was no festival in this city, and nobody had ever planned for one in this city. The mayor did not know about it, not even the town's drunk.
So how did we end in such a situation?
The Failure of AI
The people who arrived in the city of Jurilovca were taken there by various travelling agencies. These agencies got the information that a fish festival would be held in the city from ChatGPT.
Yes, because ChatGPT told them that there will be a fish festival in that city, and many of these professionals in the tourism industry organized trips there without even verifying whether the information is correct or not. In other words, they entrusted ChatGPT, an LLM.
The Moral of the Story
ChatGPT is only a tool that can help you speed up certain tasks and be a helpful companion in research. However, it can never replace a human. Just like some people were fooled about a so-called fish festival in a small Romanian city, others might
- get pieces of code full of errors
- receive bad translations from one language to another
- craft articles full of misinformation and nonsense
- make plans that don't rise to the expectations
No matter how you put it, it is never a good idea to put your trust in AI blindly and completely.
