Yup. ChatGPT has become Chat General Contractor at my house. I am moderately handy. But talking through a project with an llm before I start it has been great at helping me evaluate its difficulty level, rough estimate of how long it will take, to dos and not to dos, and helping me get unstuck or fix a mistake.

And frankly its convinced me several times that I should just hire someone to do x instead of trying to do it myself.

The alternative is watching youtube videos which are almost always diy people who try to tell you that you can do everything yourself.
