Due to all the hoopla, I occasionally turn to AI. I wrote a flowery essay about a concert that never happened. I was trying to duplicate a bogus essay our son, who is a college professor, received from a student. I came pretty close even though the performance didn’t occur.

I am making a cover for my hot tub. It doesn’t show up in this photo but the original cover is patched and looking grim. (In the middle of the project, my son told me I could have bought one for a third of the price)!

I wanted to spiff it up because it’s next to a fledgling wildflower garden. That’s another story because I think am growing a monoculture field.

I needed a 79” square to create the round piece for the top. I had 4 yards (144 inches) of 60” wide fabric. A quilting calculator told me how much fabric I needed.

I puzzled over how best to piece it so asked AI.

Cut two pieces 60” x 79”?! Impossible. I could get one piece that size and another 60” x 75”. I thought I might have missed something so asked for a diagram.

Someone was very confused and it wasn’t me.

I made it work.
