Even the simple stuff doesn't work properly. While not quite "AI", I had fun with Visual Studio's code analyser the other day.

object.Property = new List<string> { value };

The code analyser cheerily suggested that I replace this with:

object.Property = [value];

This immediately produced red squiggles and refused to compile.

I bought a Fitbit years ago. Once you open the box, the setup instructions say "download and install this app onto your phone". Nowhere on the packaging does it say you need a phone.

As it happens, I do own a phone, and I'm not sure how else I expected it to work, but it's really common these days for companies to just blindly assume you have a phone. Bonus points to my country's Covid reporting system which asks for a phone number, with a message to "call [number] if you don't have a phone".
