Tbh, seeing AI handle complex car repairs has me torn on tech progress.
It saves time, but I fear it eliminates the need for human touch.

Remember when you had to fix a VCR by jiggling the tape? My dad could do that, but now my streaming just buffers. Maybe it's the same with cars. We gain the speed but lose those weird little fixes only a person would figure out. That's the trade-off that bugs me sometimes.

Did you ever think new stuff was always better? I used to, figuring computer systems in cars meant no more guesswork. But my car had a hiccup the dealer's scanner couldn't diagnose. An independent mechanic wiggled a connector and fixed it. That changed my mind about losing human tricks. We gain speed and accuracy but lose that hands on wisdom.

Ugh, you and @lucasflores are totally right about losing those weird fixes. My old mechanic had this crazy trick for a sticky throttle that no computer would ever guess. We get perfect repairs now, but that trade-off just feels wrong.
