The delights of AI hallucinations

Just now, I was trying to write a workflow in Alfred to process my Inbox. I use copilot when coding, and it
has progressively been getting sillier and less useful.

I started writing the following:

class ProcessInbox(ActionClass):
    action_class_id = "ProcessInbox"

And it “completed” it for me:

    def execute(self, wf):
        applescript = """
        tell application "OmniFocus" to tell the default document
            set theInbox to inbox
            repeat with t in tasks of theInbox
                set t's completed to true
            end repeat
        end tell
        """
        run_applescript(applescript)

Now that is one creative way to manage life that even David Allen will have a hard time beating… just mark everything done and be happy!

It is possibly meant that you have to work through the tasks first. And once you have done it all Alfred ticks it off for you. This saves you a lot of manual work😉 Just kidding.
