I would never trust an LLM to do this unless it was pointing me to pages/sections in a real manual or reputable source I could reference.

I admire your optimism that good manuals and reputable sources exist for the average furnace in the average basement.

  • If there are no reputable sources to point to, then where exactly is GPT deriving its answer from? And how can we be assured GPT is correct about the furnace in question?

    • I mean.. I fed it all the photos of the unit and every diagram and instruction panels from the thing. I was confident in the information it was giving me about what parts did what and where to look and what to look for. You have to evaluate its output, certainly.

      Getting it to fix a mower now. It's surfacing some good YouTube vids.

  • I would accept a link to a YouTube video with a timestamp. Just something connected to the real world.
