I spent a lot of time manually drawing bedroom frames. Why not build a bad configurator with AI? I used Labor Day having ChatGPT walk me through building this. I regret everything — tedious, needed to check every error — but I generated some kitchens.

What I learned: generating a thing is easy. Generating a thing that takes adjacencies into account is a complete disaster. The feature that makes it beautiful or intuitive is how we let users set adjacencies — and maybe the slide-things-around interface is what creates the adjacency matrix.

Fridge + Sink: Yes — convenient but not ideal workflow. Fridge + Range: No — heat and cold conflict. Range + Dishwasher: No — heat damages the dishwasher door seal.
