    Let me tell you a little story. I spent 3 hours the other day trying to get AI to fix something. Kept getting it partially fixed and each time it either got a bit better or a bit worse but never fully fixed. I gave up for the day. I came back the next day and started from scratch. I gave it essentially the same starting prompt. It fixed it correctly the first time. 🤷

    I’m sure you’ll ask why I didn’t fix it myself. There are many things I’m good at, but fixing printing issues on various web browsers isn’t one of them. It’s not difficult to verify what the change does, but it can be difficult to figure out what needs to be changed in the first place.

      It’s such a time suck. It is close, so you keep trying.

      It would have been faster to do it yourself but instead, you burned half a day on slop.

        Making sure certain web pages printed properly. Sometimes fixing a problem in one browser breaks it in another. At least with the way it was being done for these pages. I’m not interested in going into further detail.
