If you’d like, sure — and I say this not because I’m a diehard AI advocate (honestly, I miss the pre-AI days), but because I think it can be a good workflow for solving your _particular_ problems here, under the right setup.

We have several general AI threads already, including but not limited to:

- [2026: Claude vs ChatGTP vs Whatever](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/2026-claude-vs-chatgtp-vs-whatever/1031200)
- [So... How does one actually use AI?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/so-how-does-one-actually-use-ai/1027842)
- [What practical tasks are AIs already good at today?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-practical-tasks-are-ais-already-good-at-today/1028737)

But feel free to start your own, if you want!
