Why wouldn't someone just do this with their brain?

I was going to add to your comment with some snarky rejoinder like "brain, is that a new agent from OpenAI?" or "we are all vibecoders now" or simply "ain't nobody got time for that".

But then I got to wondering about the OP's statement that they would specifically like someone to create this with AI. It strikes me both as silly as saying "if you're good at using Visual Studio, could you do this?", because AI tools are just tools now, and those who want to use them don't need to be prompted... but also somehow fundamentally different.

OP, what was on your heart that caused you to phrase it that way?

I think it's phrased that way because he's saying it would be great to have as long as you don't spend too much time on it. Doing it by hand would probably not be worth it, but if a tool can do it, then it's worth it.

I'm still busy building my ox-bike wagon. Soon I'll start pedaling around the country offering tea, and hand written (my brain to my keyboard ™) software.
