'Light pruning seems minor'? SERIOUSLY?

@emmawood nailed it. That image is perfect for showing how clueless AI can be. I saw a video once where a robot kept trying to put a cap on a bottle but missed every time. It just kept stabbing the air next to the bottle, looking more and more frantic. Stuff like that makes the whole problem feel real, not just some tech talk. You end up feeling bad for the dumb thing even though it's just code.

Try splitting time between both.

Oh man, tell me about it. Remember waiting six weeks for a custom router bit to finish some trim? That's just gone now. I ordered a specialty faucet cartridge last Tuesday, had it Thursday, and fixed the leak that Friday. The client was shocked. It used to be you'd have to put the whole project on hold, call the customer, give them the bad news. Now you just hit 'order' and keep working on something else. It takes so much stress out of the day.

Frame it as the inspector being overbooked, not lazy. Clients get that.
