Current ChatGPT and similar general-purpose LLMs are unsuitable for professional domains like electrical work because they are: (1) not designed or optimized for the task, (2) unreliable, (3) not trained on domain-specific information about relevant equipment and standards, and (4) not trained on use cases of expert practitioners dealing with similar problems.

Evidence Quote

It has not been designed or optimized for that task. Second, it's not reliable. So, a much higher degree of reliability is necessary. Third, it has not been trained on the domain-specific information... And most importantly, it has also not been trained on use cases of best electricians dealing with similar problems from which AI could learn.
