I think the first roadblock to this method is the grey area for liability. I feel like a lot of the value to qualifying people for trade work is less about getting the work done and more about maintaining a chain of accountability. The AR tech can absolutely be uses, and I think is currently used in some places, but the person using it will likely still need to be an employee of a company willing to accept 100% of the risk. I wonder what we'd have to do to get around that

Some examples:

Something goes wrong even though you did what it told you to do, but it didn't account for something specific to your situation, but the fine print says you were supposed to provide info on any non-standard circumstances, but you aren't qualified to know what needs to be said.

Or it asks you to do something surprisingly difficult that you don't know is outside your limit until you're in the thick of it - like holding something down with a lot of pressure and your hand slips causing damage or injury.

Or you do the whole thing and everything seems fine, and then later it breaks and causes damage/injury, the cause is linked back to your work so now fault needs to be assigned/split between you and the AI.
