I've been fitting a kitchen and chatGPT has been useful to bounce ideas off and resolve issues. Of course if IKEA's documentation wasn't so sparse I wouldn't need it but that's another story.
I guess I'm seeing similar benefits to a novice programmer. Professionals would scoff at my work but they are expensive and difficult to work with. Meanwhile I'm getting the job done.
On the other hand I'm not touching AI for any development work. I'm too worried about my skills atrophying or not properly learning anything new.
- rustyhancock 5mo agoIkeas instructions are such an oddity. It feels like there is precisely enough information to deduce each step. But only just enough miss one clue and you have something on upside down on step 7 that you won't notice until step 37. I feel whoever makes them could probably make a wicked NY Times Crossword puzzle.
- baq 5mo agoIKEA instructions are the best in the industry - so imagine what the other companies are giving out. They’re also actually good if you know to follow them exactly: double check every side, every hole, every screw and you won’t go wrong.

- tonyedgecombe 5mo agoSo far I’ve found several mistakes, instructions that relate to no longer available items and a couple of ambiguities. They may be good for the flat pack industry but they are a long way from perfect.
