What's the weirdest thing you've asked AI to do? Examples welcome 🤖

I've recently gotten into training grip strength and since it s a new area of strength training for me, I ve been asking Claude a lot of weird questions about training and recovery techniques. So now, my chat history is a ton of stuff about work with the occasional odd question about how often I should be using extensor bands haha

What are some of the strangest things you've asked AI to help with? Did it actually help?

YC alum offering free pitch deck feedback

I'm a 3x founder, YC alum, and early-stage investor. I was lucky to back Zapier, Clever, Omaze, and a few others at the seed stage.

This summer I'm spending time helping early-stage founders and learning from them. If you're raising or planning to raise, I'm happy to review your deck and offer honest feedback to help you sharpen the story from an investor's perspective.

In return, I'd love to ask you a few quick questions about your fundraising experience. What's working, what's frustrating, and how you're thinking about it. It helps me better understand how founders are raising today and where the process breaks down.

If you're up for it, feel free to reply here or message me privately. You can email me directly if you like mike.stachowiak@gmail.com
No catch. Just hoping it's helpful for both of us.
