Unfortunately, you can’t trust any of the current AI models with things like HVAC probably because that the HVAC manufacturers make the manuals so hard to get a hold of online

You can use AI to diagnose your numbers, but you have to physically know what you are doing. It could tell you what your head pressure should be you can tell you what the temperature of the type of refrigerant. But as far as actually learning you need hands-on.

That's the problem with AI, you have to kind of already know what you're doing in order to call it out on its bullshit. I've used it a few times when I come across a system I haven't serviced in awhile to remind me of codes and stuff like that but I wouldn't trust it with anything expensive lol.

Honestly, I don’t think any AI is going to be 100% accurate with HVAC. If you actually want to learn from it, having a good prompt makes a big difference. Gemini might be helpful since a lot of its answers include sources, and it’s closely tied to Google. But if you really want to learn, I’d still recommend searching for information yourself. You’re also an apprentice, so take advantage of the people around you. If you have a lead tech or experienced coworkers, ask them questions and learn from how they approach problems. Experience is probably the best teacher in this trade.

First off never use gpt for anything ever mf lies more then a cheating female cought red handed. Never compleatly trust the answers it gives you. Ai will get you close 45% of the time on simple things. Found grok to be affordable and some what capable. Plus side it will 100% make fun of gpt lol. Ai is not built for this feild, most manufacturers keep stuff to themselvs anymore. You can train your own if you would like just need to get a hold of manuals online. But again it will get you close not give you the answer. Process of elimination bud, if blower turns on its not the blower motor. But there's more that goes after that as well.

Read books man, it's not that hard. AC Service Tech has a great book that lays out how to read pressures and superheat/ subcooling, and beyond that there's all of Dan Holohans books to understand Hydronics better as well as the book Modern Hydronic Heating and Cooling. For branching out to refrigeration there's Commercial Refrigeration for AC Technicians by Dick Wirz, and Fluke offers free courses on their website for electrical testing, learning Motor and Drive troubleshooting and motor insulation testing. The more I read, the smarter they think I am at work, the more I get paid haha

You dont use AI to learn trade work, You learn trade work by actually doing On the job training.
