A parent's kid was missing one Lego piece to finish a project. ChatGPT identified the right piece from a description with purchase links, found a matching 3D printing file online, and walked through format conversion and rescaling until it was printed. Follow-up: a cheap 3D printer struggles with Lego's extreme accuracy requirements. A heartwarming — and slightly cautionary — everyday AI use case.
