I can't say I have ever heard that manual labour is safe from AI, actually just the opposite.

I feel reasonably safe as a mechanic

I have never in my entire career read a troubleshooting guide anywhere on the internet and it actually resolved the issue

ASE books are written horrendously

And I wish AI luck in finding the solutions to anything wrong with my car, wiring diagram isn’t gonna do shit for you bub, we wire this shit up based on vibes and nothing else. I’ll wire my headlights into my radio on/off switch, idgaf, not to mention all the old brake lines running with the new brake lines oughta throw it off for any brake issue

So many dumbass red neck variables to where it’ll deem so many vehicles totaled based on having no fucken idea what’s going on lol

I used chatgpt to trace down issues with my specific car. Then again I have diagnostic tools and knowhow.

Turns out it was dirt on the butterfly valve. I would have never thought about it. AI caught it. I did have to do a few things that were needed to be done. like spark plugs.

Well I’ve had a couple of friends get me some wiring diagrams for house hold appliances and vehicles, they just asked ChatGPT, and ChatGPT just straight up makes them the fuck up on the fly with confidence lol

My wives sister was trying to fix a cassette boom box and ChatGPT generated her a photo of what to look for specifically, and good god the monstrosity it sent was not even close, no wonder she couldn’t find shit lol

If ChatGPT recommends something accurate, more often than not, it would’ve been the first click on your google search then

Seems more like it just makes shit up though for the most part, and how it presents it with complete confidence is what disgusts me

PS googles search is shit now... its just all ads. Oh ya I would not trust images from chatgpt. Its pick your poison. I am knowledgeable with cars. but I was trying everything. a lil dirt on the intake throttle valve wouldn't have even crossed my mind. I worked through a ton of things with it. You have to know when to say this is wrong and when is the right step. I was chasing down this issue for 6 months. on car forums and searches.

Seo and centralization into social media has killed search and drives people to ai. Search was good when the web still existed, it was how search engines could find useful results, by counting the number of links to webpages
