It walks my retired parents through their home projects like the project is a labyrinth. Spewing reams and reams of nonsense at them, but their memories are short enough (and their trust high enough) that they follow it aimlessly until they lose interest. For the most part, they wander around close enough to reality to be harmless, but they rarely ever land on “success” until it suggests hiring a professional. At least it gives them something to do.

I’m sorry to hear that. I think AI can be quite dangerous. But their experience is a skill issue.
