AI Can Edit Videos and Model 3D, But Still Fumbles a Router's 802.11ax WiFi Bug

Blogger andfanilo shared a funny contrast: Astra now handles his video editing, blog writing, and 3D modeling tasks, yet when his WiFi displayed "Can't connect to server," he had to ask the AI to dig through Windows logs — the culprit turned out to be an 802.11ax setting on an older router. A neat illustration of how current AI excels at open-ended creative work but still struggles with mundane real-world troubleshooting.
