How I Actually Use AI
I learned when to hand the motorhome to a mechanic
Our motorhome had an intermittent stalling problem. I used AI to work through possible checks, and the process was not clean. It misidentified parts. I accidentally broke a hose while following the trail. Eventually, the useful conclusion was that the motorhome needed a mechanic and that continuing to poke at it myself was not improving the situation.
I took the mechanic the symptoms, the things I had already tried, and the places where the diagnosis was still uncertain. That gave the actual expert a better starting point. AI did not fix the motorhome. It helped me arrive at the handoff with more than “it dies sometimes,” after also helping demonstrate why the handoff was necessary.
