    Reminder it doesn’t know anything.

    It is just mimicking text it has been programmed for.

    For it to be “good” at mimicking home improvement, it’s source needed to be full of home improvement talk. The best carpenters, plumbers, whatever aren’t on reddit, or wherever talking shop. They’re working, or making OSHA jokes at the bar.

        Mostly tradies are learning by hands-on apprenticeship with a master. All that discussion is not on the internet.

          The better question is how will anyone ever learn after ChatGPT

          I can’t be the only one who will have a hard time for me to trust any professional who became qualified after 2023.
