What have you used AI for today?

I had a similar lack of success doing similar a while back. I was looking for a rather tragic children’s book with a boy who has what his parents thought was an imaginary friend who the boy blames for the naughty things happening around the house. The end is of the boy looking sad and saying he’s telling the truth but no-one believes him. The final page is a gremlin type creature appearing and shouting “They never do!”
We didn’t read that one to the kids.

Possibly the problem is that these books are out of print with no electronic copy for the AI to scrape, so no source material available to draw on.

That sounds like a book called ‘Not now Bernard’

Thanks Db.
Very similar theme but not that one.
We’ve been going through the stash of books in the loft to see which ones to bring out for the grandkids.

How about an animated bar chart showing the top ten most popular sports cars over the last 100 years.

It needs a bit of fine tuning to slow it down but I ran out of gpt credits!

Gemini says The Boy Who Was Afraid of Everything by Clive King.

106

Gemini says the precise ending makes it think it is A Special Trick (1981) Mercer Mayer

107

And if you then look at all of Clive Kings’ works, he never wrote anything with that title (that was another issue I’d been having with my search, it kept taking a books title, and attaching a different author).

Though Stig of the Dump was a good read :slight_smile:

The way its calculating “ popularity” is off. Its not based popularity to 0 for year of introduction minus 1 day. Hence in 1934, it thinks the Audi R8 was the most popular sports car, but the MX-5 was pick of the bunch around about 1928. Your pool of cars doesn’t include any pre-1960.

I use AI daily for my work. But for my NC specifically, I used it try out the British Racing Green exterior with tan interior I had in mind for a while. Worked like a charm. I know NC does have a similar spec however a darker shade that almost looks like black from a distance.

I’m on a trackday at Thruxton in the morning. I’ve just used copilot to give me advice on number of clicks to set my Ohlins suspension at, tyre temps, speeds and gears in each corner. It then summarised everything into a 1 pager.

:racing_car: MX‑5 NC Trackday Guide – Thruxton (Dry)

Suspension – Öhlins DFV

  • Front: 10 clicks from full stiff

  • Rear: 12 clicks from full stiff

  • Adjust in 1–2 click increments if balance feels off

Tyres

  • Cold: 27–29 psi

  • Hot target: 30–31 psi (max 32–34 psi)

  • Check after 5–7 laps

  • Adjust +1 psi front (reduce understeer) / +1 psi rear (reduce oversteer)

Alignment

  • Front camber: -2.0°

  • Rear camber: -1.5°

  • Toe: slight out front / slight in rear

Corner Guide

  • Allard (T1): Flat in 4th, late apex

  • Complex (T2–T3): Heavy brake, trail into left, balance throttle

  • Segrave (T4): Medium right, early throttle

  • Church (T5): Flat‑out right, smooth steering

  • Brooklands (T6): Position car for Club

  • Club (T7): Heavy brake, sacrifice entry, strong exit

Warm‑Up Routine

  • Lap 1 (Out Lap): 60–70% pace, weave gently, firm brake applications, short‑shift

  • Lap 2: 75–80% pace, normal lines, test braking into Complex

  • Lap 3: 85–90% pace, build speed at Church, full throttle on straights

  • Lap 4: Full pace, commit to braking points, monitor balance

Trackday Tips

  • Warm tyres gradually

  • Limit stints to 10–15 mins

  • Inspect tyre shoulders after each run

    • Outer wear → add camber

    • Inner wear → reduce camber

:white_check_mark: Baseline Summary

  • Front: 10 clicks, -2.0°, 27–29 psi cold

  • Rear: 12 clicks, -1.5°, 27–29 psi cold

  • Hot pressures: 30–31 psi

Can’t work out if you have a passenger with a very long arm or if AI made some strange limb adjustments!

In the mid seventies I was working in Newcastle and there was a small square right outside my window with a statue of Queen Victoria, and very Monday morning she has a traffic cone on her head. Not AI though, more a barometer for how good the weekend had been in the town.
