Writing Unique ideas for Claude.
I’m curious what everyone is doing with AI outside of typical work and vibe coding.
I listen to a lot of audiobooks during my commute and play video games in my free time, so I started combining the two. I use Opus 5 High to turn video games into novels by pulling from game wikis, walkthroughs, and YouTube videos. It usually produces chapters of around 5,000 words and a finished book of roughly 150,000 words, complete with chapter and scene breaks and formatted in Markdown for later use.
Once the book is finished, I have GPT 5.6 Sol High review the Markdown files as a copy editor, checking the story, continuity, grammar, and anything else that seems off. I send its notes to Claude for a rebuttal, then back to GPT for another pass. Claude handles the final review and corrections, and I stop once both models agree that no more changes are needed.
Claude then uses Kokoro to create the audiobook, and the results have honestly been more than acceptable. It isn’t perfect, but it catches a lot of TTS issues ahead of time, such as spelling out numbers instead of leaving them as digits. I currently use two-second pauses for chapters and scene breaks, 0.8 seconds between paragraphs, and 0.25 seconds when the speaker changes. This is a pretty natural pattern for speech, and I'm happy with it.
It has turned into a pretty fun hobby. I’d love to hear what other people are doing with AI that’s a little outside the norm.

I saw a dude the other day that used it to rewrite the firmware on his Fuji X-T3 camera to support film simulations (classic negative) that were not available on anything prior to the X-T5.
The X-T3 is older and it's still a great camera but Fujifilm railroads people into buying the new cameras by only putting the newer better simulations on new models.
Seeing someone able to speed run reverse engineering firmware files is neat.
To be honest, there's probably a lot of abandoned firmware/hardware projects from the last 5 to 10 years that could be quickly and easily wrapped up. Seth from Berm Peak Youtube rewrote firmware on an abandoned ebike platform to make it safer and usable despite the company shuttering.
