Mid-October, early morning at work. I was hunting for a podcast to throw on while I worked and stumbled into something about what AI could actually do now. You can build apps with AI. Excuse me? I’ve wanted to build an app since I opened my first one.
So I went all in. Had zero clue how to build a computer, but I knew the cheap pre-builts weren’t going to cut it. And I figured, if AI can build an app, it should definitely be able to build a computer.
Started conversations with ChatGPT and Claude. Thirty minutes later I had a custom parts list with ample headroom. Way overbuilt, on purpose. Ran it by my Guru. He said, “I see you used the PC Part Picker app.” I said nope, used AI. He looked the list over again, read the reasoning behind every part, and said, “I’m impressed. Never even thought of doing that.”
Ordered everything. The DemoN was born.
I had barely messed around on computers before this. Now I’m living in terminals and sandboxes, building stuff I didn’t know was possible six months ago.
My advice? Jump in. Start learning. This isn’t a fad. It’s here to stay. Don’t get left behind.
