Developer ctjlewis argues that while a knowledgeable person can safely follow ChatGPT's DIY advice (like wrapping threads with teflon tape and checking for leaks), he doesn't trust the median ChatGPT user to do the required safety checks — especially on gas lines, where failures can be catastrophic. He clarifies it's usually fine, but fails far more often than professional work, and he doesn't want everyone trying it.
