But what if there's no YouTube tutorial for the exact AC unit you have and it doesn't look like any of the videos you checked out?

Then you are equally fucked as the AI will be, so no difference.
Case in point, I remember about ten years ago our washing machine started making noise from the drum bearing. Found a Youtube tutorial for bearing replacement on the exact same model, but 3 years older. Followed it just fine until it was time to split the drum. Then it turned out that in the newer units like mine, some rent-seeking MBA fuckers had decided more profits could be had if they plastic welded shut the entire drum assembly. Which was then a $300 replacement part for a $400 machine.
An AI doesn't help with this type of shit. It can't know the unknown.
But once it knows it’s pretty certain to become common knowledge almost instantaneously. That’s not possible now. What you learn stays localised to you and may be people 1 degree away from you that’s it.
How does that work? None of the current AI models can re-train on the fly. How would the inference engine even know if it's a case of new information that needs to be fed back, or just a user that's not following instructions correctly?

Have you met people that seem to be able to fix almost anything?
If you can't get a tutorial on your exact case you learn about the problem domain and intuit from there. Usually it works out if you're careful, unlike software.
