I let AI build a tool to help me figure out what was waking me up at night

Have you tried sleeping without a watch?

Earplugs also solve this problem with many fewer tokens.

This is cool, but a simple circular buffer audio recorder connected to stdin would have been sufficient. The recorder records continuously on a circular buffer that stores the last 5 minutes, and whenever OP wakes up, he can press any key on the keyboard to dump the current 5 minutes on storage, with the timestamp as file name. False positives are much less possible, and the whole system can just be a small CLI program.

Dude used ai to determine that slamming a door, moving dishes, or driving a motorcycle near this bedroom woke him up. Revolutionary stuff.

Did you really need to build an ai app to figure out that doors, dishes, and motorcycles wake you up?

hint: your watch is probably lying to you and you're following a normal bifurcated sleep pattern.

This person wasted an entire weekend, spent a shit ton time with LLM and contributed to CO2 emissions, water table depletion just to come to the conclusion that he needs to wear fucking ear plugs or use a white noise maker?

Anybody living in a mid to large city or urban area could have told you that. What a waste of resources.

This is another dumb AI project idea which i would have done at some point too if I didn't know better. It's one of those things where doctors will just go ahead with the fix even if they haven't evaluated the exact diagnosis, since the fix will probably be the same regardless. The human mind wants certainty though so I get it, but the fix doesn't need to be preceded by a pinpointing of the exact cause.

This is cool don't get me wrong, but surely overcomplicated? Why not just record audio to disk the whole night then eyeball the waveform for loudness spikes? If you just don't connect it to any network at all, there's no data breach risk (or am I misunderstanding the justification for the noise-detection toggle thing?).

Also the AI-generated hero image looks vile.
